Metal Accessories CNC Machining Turning Parts

CNC turning is a manufacturing process that involves securing a blank on a rotating chuck and

using stationary cutting tools to remove material.

This method is particularly suitable for creating parts with symmetrical features along their

central axis.

Turned components are usually manufactured more efficiently and cost-effectively compared to

milled parts.

Product Details

The turning process primarily involves the machining of various metals.

These metals encompass a wide range of materials, including alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron,

stainless steel, aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc.

Nevertheless, it is essential to note that the turning process is not limited to metals alone;

it can also be applied to plastic components and a diverse array of materials such as ceramics,

composites, thermoplastics, and thermosetting materials.

Typical Applications of CNC Turning

CNC turning machines offer versatility in producing a wide array of components, ranging in

complexity.

Here are examples of parts that can be crafted using CNC turning:

1. Shafts and Axles: CNC turning excels in fabricating elongated, cylindrical parts found in diverse

sectors, including automotive and aerospace.

2. Bushings and Bearings: Precision-manufactured bushings and bearings are indispensable in

mechanical systems, reducing friction and facilitating smooth rotational motion.

3. Connectors and Fittings: CNC turning allows for the production of connectors, fittings, and

couplings utilized in plumbing, hydraulic systems, and electrical applications.

4. Fasteners: Screws, bolts, and nuts, crafted with CNC turning, serve as essential components for

assembling various parts in multiple industries, ensuring secure connections.

5. Valves and Valve Components: CNC turning permits the creation of valve bodies, stems, seats,

and intricate components used in fluid control systems.

6. Tooling Components: This includes inserts, toolholders, and bodies utilized in machining operations,

enhancing operational efficiency and precision.

7. Automotive Parts: CNC turning is employed in the production of engine components, pulleys,

brackets, and specialized parts for the automotive industry.

FAQ's

1. Is CNC turning expensive?

The cost of CNC turning can vary depending on factors such as part complexity, material selection,

machine setup, and volume of production, making it difficult to provide a definitive answer without

specific details.

2. CNC Turning Tolerances

Our standard tolerance for CNC turned parts is +/- 0.005 inches. However, in certain cases,

we may be able to achieve even tighter tolerances, depending on the specific geometry of your

parts and the tooling used.

If your project demands a tighter tolerance than our standard +/- 0.005 inches, please inform us

during the quoting stage. Our team will thoroughly evaluate your requirements and provide

guidance on available options.

3. Advantages of CNC Turning

1. Economical for both short and long runs
2. High dimensional tolerances are possible
3. Smooth finishes can be achieved

4. Secondary Surface Finishing in CNC Turning

CNC turning often involves various secondary finishing processes to ensure the desired surface

quality of metal parts after the machining is complete. These secondary finishing services may

include:

1. Deburring: Removing sharp edges or burrs from the machined part.

2. Grinding and Polishing: Enhancing the surface finish of the metal to achieve smoother textures

and improved appearance.

3. Anodizing and Plating: Enhancing the metal's strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.

4. Painting and Powder Coating: Adding color and providing additional protection for metal parts.

These secondary finishing processes are essential to achieve the desired aesthetics, functionality,

and performance of CNC turned components.
