What Is CNC Turning
CNC Turning is a machining process used to create cylindrical or conical parts by rotating a workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to achieve the desired shape. This process is typically performed on a lathe machine controlled by computer numerical control (CNC) technology. CNC Turning offers high precision and flexibility in producing various parts with different shapes and sizes.
It finds applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, industrial machinery, tool and die making, and general manufacturing. CNC Turning is essential for producing precision components, ranging from engine parts to medical implants, with high accuracy and efficiency.
