| CNC Turning is a process that is used for precision | | | | between centers with a speed range of 4,000 |
| machining to produce cylindrical components like hubs, | | | | revolutions per minute and 46kW drive power. |
| rods, pulleys, etc., through metal cutting while using | | | | The CNC turning process cuts the plastic into various |
| Computer Numerically Controlled lathes. CNC Lathe, a | | | | shapes like pointed, simple plain surface, tapered ends, |
| machine tool, is well programmed through well-known | | | | contour, curve, fillet and radius profiles with threaded |
| machine control units or computer-aided machining | | | | surface. These cut and turned pieces are used to |
| software. A machinist programs the software | | | | create shafts, rods, bushes, pulleys and much more. |
| controlled machine and set the needed cutting tools to | | | | This turning process applies well to the most rigid |
| produce the final product according to the given | | | | materials like Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Copper, Nylon, |
| technical drawing specifications. | | | | Polycarbonate, Acrylic, Brass, Teflon, Titanium, ABS, |
| CNC Turning is the most simple and important process | | | | PVC, etc., that can be controlled with the software |
| used for plastic machining. It is utilized where the | | | | program tooling. The CNC turning is more economical |
| precision tool generates materials after inserting the | | | | than the CNC milling as it reduces the cost of |
