Defining the right materials
Using the right material is crucial to your project’s success. Our team has many years’ experience working with a wide range of materials.
We are experts at working with commonly used alloys, non-ferrous metals and specialist plastics, right through to different exotic alloys and oil-grade materials. We’re always on hand to discuss your requirements.
FAQs
CNC turning involves a cutting tool operating on a single point inserted parallel to the material being machined. The material turns on the lathe while a cutting tool traverses to make specific cylindrical cuts set with precise measurements.
Installing different tools in the lathe tooling head produces different results, making it easier to produce the parts in single operations. Contours, tapers and cuts can be created in the material’s angles and depths.
The process is automated through the whole machining operation. Speeds can be adjusted to get a high level of accuracy compared to the traditional turning techniques.
High accuracy
CNC turning is computer controlled, an essential feature in production of high-end engineering parts.
High precision
With turning tolerances of up to 0.025 mm, CNC turning is suitable for mass producing highly precise components.
Consistency
A CNC turning system allows for designs to be consistently repeated and manufactured.
Complexity
Most CNC turning machines have a dual spindle and multi-turret setup. This makes it possible to manufacture complex components in just one operation.
Cost effective and fast
Conventional methods would need several turning functions, which are slow and unable to deliver the same level of precision. CNC turning is cost-effective and faster than traditional machining methods, cutting the time it takes to get your product to market.
