CNC turning is a precision machining process used to create accurate cylindrical and concentric components by removing material from rotating stock. The controlled toolpaths deliver stable diameters, clean surface finishes, and consistent dimensional repeatability for both prototypes and production parts.
A spindle rotates the raw material while cutting tools shape external and internal features such as profiles, bores, grooves, and threads. This method ensures stable geometry and predictable accuracy.
The machine executes programmed feeds, speeds, and tool motions to achieve precise dimensions.
Different types of lathes handle different levels of work, from basic turning of round parts to advanced machines that produce very small or complex shapes. Each type helps improve stability, tool control, and accuracy during machining.
Our CNC turning capabilities are engineered for consistent accuracy, smooth finishes, and efficient production cycles across metal and plastic components. Each setup supports reliable machining for both prototypes and large-batch manufacturing.
