Our CNC turning services deliver accurate and consistent turned parts for industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices. With advanced CNC lathes and Swiss turning machines, we manufacture shafts, bushings, fasteners, and custom cylindrical components with tight tolerances and smooth finishes.
What is CNC Turning?
CNC turning is a machining process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece to create precise cylindrical parts. Unlike CNC milling, where the cutting tool rotates, in CNC turning the workpiece itself rotates while the cutting tool moves along defined paths.
This process is commonly carried out on CNC lathes or Swiss-type turning machines, making it ideal for producing shafts, bushings, fasteners, and threaded components with consistent accuracy.
Why CNC Turning Matters
Efficiency: CNC turning is well-suited for round or symmetrical parts, enabling faster cycle times.
Precision: With tolerances often down to ±0.01 mm, it ensures the required dimensional accuracy.
Versatility: Supports different materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and titanium alloys.
Scalability: From one-off prototypes to high-volume production of CNC turned parts.
Common Applications
Automotive: Shafts, bushings, gear blanks.
Aerospace: Titanium fasteners, lightweight structural parts.
Electronics: Precision connectors, micro shafts.
Medical: Surgical instruments, orthopedic implants.
