While capable of processing square and hexagonal-shaped materials, the CNC turning process is best for tubular and circular shaped raw materials, including the following:
Inner and outer cylindrical surfaces
Inner and outer conical surfaces
Grooves, threads & rotational molding surfaces
Modern CNC turning machines are capable of handling different tools, spindles, and speeds. With various cutting tools available, CNC turning machines can create different parts with complex geometries. Generally, CNC turning is popular for making parts with the following criteria:
Rotary parts with the high precision requirement
Rotary parts with good surface roughness
Super precision parts with ultra-low surface roughness
Rotary parts with complex surface shapes
Rotary parts with horizontal machining
Parts with some special types of threads
Overall, CNC turned parts are widely used in the field of machine manufacturing, aerospace, automobile part manufacturing, and service factories.
