Capabilities & Applications
CNC lathe machines are ideal for a wide range of applications, particularly with short-run production of functional prototypes and tool & die manufacturing. This rapid machining technology is most compatible with a metal cutting environment, and is used across many industries, including automotive, aerospace, consumer products and more.
If you have a part that requires a high degree of roundness, such as automotive assemblies, CNC lathing can be utilized to shape parts before gears are machined. Automotive components like transmissions and drivelines are made up of a variety of round parts, and thus CNC lathing is commonly used for production.
Here are some of the production capabilities of CNC lathing:
a. Facing – To produce flat surfaces on the end of your part.
b. Threading – To add internal or external threads.
c. Knurling – Generate regularly shaped roughness on cylindrical surfaces.
d. Drilling – Used with a CNC lathe machine to add holes into parts.
e. Boring – Used to place internal grooves into a part.
f. Reaming – Used to properly size and finish existing holes.
g. Taper Turning – Used to gradually reduced the length of the part.
Benefits Of CNC Lathe / Turning
Automated CNC turning offers a range of benefits, whether you need to produce a single prototype or a large production run of identical items. A major advantage of CNC turning is the level of efficiency that can be achieved.
Unlike a human-controlled turning machine, which is limited in its efficiency by its operator, CNC turning equipment can operate round the clock to manufacture large quantities of precision objects with minimal lead times.
CNC turning also offers an incredible level of precision and exactness. From one to several thousand units, CNC turning equipment can achieve an incredible level of tolerance over any production run.
