Multi-axis-Turning
Multi-axis Turning

Multi-axis CNC Turning further extends our ability to create complex geometries and intricate designs. Multi-axis turning involves the use of additional axes (Y-axis or additional rotary spindles) to perform more complex operations, reducing setup time, improving efficiency and accuracy, and obtaining parts with complex features.

Live-Tool-CNC-Turning
Live Tool CNC Turning

Some CNC lathes are equipped with live tools that can mill, drill, or tap while the workpiece is rotating. This allows more complex parts to be produced without switching between different machines. Reduced production time, ranging from curved surfaces to multi-plane mirrors to some extremely complex parts.

CNC-Swiss-Turning
CNC Swiss Turning

Swiss turning is a specialized type of CNC turning used for producing small, high-precision parts with complex geometries. The material is linearly fed into the machine, and the turning tools are mounted on a rotating spindle.

Hard-CNC-Turning
Hard CNC Turning

Hard turning is a common CNC turning process for hard materials. It is an affordable alternative to CNC grinding, machining hard metal materials into parts with very high tolerances. It is suitable for high-volume manufacturing because it allows for the rapid manufacture of durable parts with complex standard shapes and cross-sections.

CNC-boring
Boring

CNC Boring is used to enlarge or smoothen an already drilled hole, making it more precise in terms of diameter and finish. It is ideal for creating holes that require tight tolerances.

CNC-Straight-Turning
CNC Straight Turning

In straight turning, the cutting tool moves along the material’s axis to reduce its diameter. This is used for producing cylindrical parts or components with a uniform diameter.

CNC-Taper-Turning
CNC Taper Turning

Taper turning involves gradually reducing the diameter of a workpiece along its length to create a conical shape. This is often used for parts that need to fit into other components, such as shafts, spindles, or valve stems.

CNC-Thread-Cutting
CNC Thread Cutting

CNC lathes can be programmed to cut internal and external threads with precision. This is essential for parts like screws, bolts, and nuts. Thread cutting can be done using various types of threads, including metric, imperial, and custom threads.

How CNC Turning Works

CNC turning (also known as CNC lathes) is a subtractive manufacturing process in which a stationary cutting tool removes material by making contact with the spinning workpiece to create the desired shape.

During processing, a blank bar of stock material is held in the chuck of the spindle and rotated with the spindle. Extreme precision and repeatability can be achieved under the control of computer instructions for the movement of the machinery.

When CNC turning rotates the workpiece in a chuck, it’ s generally to create round or tubular shapes and achieve far more accurate rounded surfaces than CNC milling or other machining processes. To know more about the difference between CNC milling and CNC turning, this link may be valuable for you.

CNC Turning FAQs

What is CNC Turning?

CNC turning is a particular form of precision machining in which a cutter removes material by making contact with the spinning workpiece. The movement of the machinery is controlled by computer instructions, allowing for extreme precision and repeatability.

Turning is different to CNC milling, in which the cutting tool rotates and is directed from multiple angles at the workpiece, which is usually stationary. Because CNC turning involves rotating the workpiece in a chuck, it is generally used to create round or tubular shapes, achieving far more accurate rounded surfaces than would be possible with CNC milling or other processes.

The tooling that is used with a CNC lathe machine is mounted to a turret. This component is programmed to make certain movements and remove material from raw materials until the desired 3D model is formed.

Like CNC milling, CNC turning can be used for the rapid manufacture of either prototypes or end-use part.

What parts can be produced by CNC turning?

CNC turning is a method for making symmetrical cylindrical parts. Typical examples are shafts, gears, knobs, tubes, etc. CNC turned parts are usually applied to various applications and industries like aerospace, medical, automotive, and other industries.

How rough CNC turning differs from finished CNC turning?

Rough CNC turning brings the workpiece close to the desired shape by removing as much material as possible without focusing on precision and surface finish, while finish CNC turning produces the required accuracy and smoothness.

How CNC turning centers differ from CNC lathes?

CNC lathes are usually two-axis machines with only one spindle. Their production capacity is not high, and there is usually no protective casing around the machine. A CNC turning center is a more advanced version of a CNC lathe, with up to 5 axes and a more general cutting capacity. They also provide the ability to produce larger volumes, often integrating milling, drilling, and other functions.

What parts can CNC turning make?

The CNC turning process is mostly ideal for cylindrical-shaped raw materials. However, several manufacturers also use it for hexagonal and square-shaped workpieces. It is a popular method for making machine parts for microfluidic tools, signage components, surgical instruments, automotive frames, and aerospace parts.

What is your maximum diameter capacity for turned parts?

We can turn parts with diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 65mm for stock bars. Our turning capabilities can reach up to 3000 mm for billets.

Can you produce plastic turned parts?

Yes, our CNC turning services include plastic parts manufacturing. We can produce small or large batch prototypes and production parts from various engineering-grade plastics. Choose from our extensive range of plastic materials and upload your design file to get custom plastic components.

What’s the difference between CNC milling and CNC lathe?

The major difference between CNC milling and CNC lathe is in their machining process. CNC milling involves rotating the cutting tools against a stationary bar stock or workpiece. In contrast, a CNC lather works by rotating the bar stock or workpiece against a stationary tool. CNC milling is more suitable for machining irregular and flat surfaces, while CNC lathes work best for cylindrical or conical parts.

What industries use CNC machining?

CNC machining is widely used across a wide range of industries. It is common in aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, robotics, agriculture, and other fields that frequently use metal parts. It is also widely used in medical devices, household goods, energy, oil and gas, and other consumer applications. It is one of the most common processing methods in the manufacturing field.

NOBLE has offered ultra-precision CNC-crafted components for global industries including oil and gas CNC machining, medical instruments CNC machining, optical CNC machining, tool and die parts CNC machining, motorcycle components CNC machining, electronic enclosures CNC machining, automotive parts CNC machining, etc.

What are your maximum dimensions for CNC machining?
NOBLE can accommodate prototyping and production of large machined parts, plastic or metal. The maximum size of our single piece is 2000mm, and the single-piece proofing can reach hundreds of thousands of batch processing and production.
What are the tolerances of machined parts?
We can provide critical tolerance according to your actual demand. For CNC machining, we manufacture metal parts as per ISO 2768-m and plastic parts as per ISO 2768-c. Please note that the higher tolerance needed, the cost will be higher.
