Types Of CNC Turning
There are many types of CNC turning operations for CNC lathe services can be performed on a live tooling lathe in CNC turning factory, including Hard turning, Parting, Facing, Boring, Reaming, Taper turning, Drilling, Knurling, Threading, Grooving, etc., comes in varying tools, cost and set-up time.
- 1.Tapered turning: produce a cylindrical part of which diameter decrease from one end to another.
- 2.Hard turning: suited for materials with a Rockwell C hardness greater than 45, typically performed after heat treated.
- 3.Spherical generation: create a spherical finished surface, turning around fixed rotary axis.
- 4.Facing: a turning operation in which the workpiece is machined to its center.
- 5.Parting: create deep grooves that remove a completed or part-complete component from its parent stock.
- 6.Grooving: similar to parting, but only cut to a specific depth from outside or inside of workpiece.
- 7.Drilling: remove materials to drill holes from the inside of a workpiece with drill bits held stationary in the tail stock or tool turret of the lathe. Boring: enlarge or smooth an existing hole.
- 8.Knurling: cut serrated pattern onto the surface of workpiece with knurling tool, to change or enhance visual effect or hand grip.
- 9.Reaming: remove a small volume of materials from a drilled hole, for highly accurate diameters.
- 10.Threading: turn standard and non-standard screw threads, generally means single-point threading.
- 11.Polygonal turning: non-circular forms machining operation without interrupting the rotation of the raw material.
