CNC turning service is a cornerstone of modern precision engineering. It offers unmatched accuracy, repeatability, and speed in producing cylindrical and round components. At Langhe Casting, we specialize in high-quality CNC turning services that meet the most demanding requirements of the automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors.
CNC Turning Service
CNC Turning is a subtractive manufacturing process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece. This technique shapes metal or plastic into precise dimensions and complex geometries. CNC lathes and turning centers, guided by computer numerical control (CNC), ensure consistent accuracy and tight tolerances.
Workpiece Mounting: The material is clamped into a chuck and rotated at high speed.
Tool Movement: A single-point cutting tool moves in linear motion along the rotating axis.
Material Removal: Layers are shaved off to form the desired shape.
Program Execution: CNC code governs every movement and depth of cut.
What-is-CNC-Turning
Advantages | Details |
---|---|
High Precision | Delivers dimensional accuracy up to ±0.01 mm or better |
Fast Production | Ideal for short-run to high-volume production |
Material Versatility | Supports metals, plastics, and composite materials |
Cost-Effective Prototyping | Reduces time and material waste during early-stage development |
Complex Geometry Capability | Achieves internal grooves, threads, tapers, and undercuts |
Scalability | Easily repeatable for thousands of identical parts |
Langhe Casting combines advanced CNC turning equipment with expert machinists to ensure your parts exceed expectations.
Although often grouped together under CNC machining, turning and milling are distinct.
Feature | CNC Turning | CNC Milling |
---|---|---|
Motion Type | Workpiece rotates, tool is stationary | Tool rotates, workpiece is stationary |
Best For | Cylindrical parts | Complex 3D surfaces and pockets |
Efficiency | Higher for round, symmetrical parts | Better for flat or irregular shapes |
Machining Axis | Typically 2 to 5 axes | Typically 3 to 5 axes |
At Langhe Casting, we offer both turning and milling, so you always get the right process for your design.
