Custom CNC Turning FAQ

What is CNC Turning?

CNC turning (Computer Numerical Control Turning) is a processing method that controls machine tools to cut metal, plastic and other materials through program control. It uses pre-written digital instructions to control various operations of the machine tool, including processing speed, cutting depth and position, tool selection and replacement, etc. Compared with traditional manual turning, CNC turning has the advantages of high efficiency, high precision, good repeatability, and strong adaptability, and is widely used in modern manufacturing.

How much does CNC turning cost per hour?

The cost per hour of CNC turning operations varies based on a number of factors, including the type of material being machined, difficulty of machining, machine and tool wear and tear, and more. In addition, the prices of different regions and different manufacturers are also different. Therefore, a specific figure cannot be given.

Typically, CNC turning service providers base their quotations on customer requirements and product characteristics, such as calculating costs based on required machining steps, number of tools, and machine running time. It is therefore recommended that you contact your local CNC turning service provider for more detailed pricing information.

What is the difference between a CNC lathe and a CNC turning center?

Both CNC lathes and CNC turning centers belong to the category of CNC machining machines, but they have some differences in structure and function.

CNC lathe (CNC Lathe) is a machine tool that takes the rotating axis as the main axis and performs a series of operations such as cutting, drilling, and stretching on the workpiece through the tool. CNC lathes are usually suitable for producing linear or rotationally symmetrical shaft parts, such as threads, cylinders, cones and other products.

CNC Turning Center (CNC Turning Center) is a CNC machining center that integrates the functions of a lathe and milling machine. The CNC turning center can not only perform turning operations, but also perform multiple operations such as drilling, tapping, and milling to produce more complex geometric parts.

In short, CNC lathes are mainly used to produce shaft parts, while CNC turning centers can produce parts with more complex geometries.

What are the advantages of CNC turning?

Compared with traditional manual turning, CNC turning (Computer Numerical Control Turning) has advantages in the following aspects:

High precision: CNC turning can control the machining process of tools and workpieces through preset programs, avoiding the influence of human factors on machining accuracy, thereby improving machining accuracy and stability.

High efficiency: CNC turning can realize automatic and continuous production without manual intervention, greatly shortening the processing cycle and time, and improving production efficiency.

Flexibility: CNC turning can adapt to different processing needs by changing tools, adjusting process parameters, etc., and has strong flexibility.

Good repeatability: CNC turning can achieve mass production by writing standardized processing programs, and the product quality is relatively stable and repeatable.

Cost savings: CNC turning can reduce labor input and the resulting errors and variables, reducing labor costs and scrap rates.

Improve safety: Many operations in CNC turning are automated, which can effectively protect the health and safety of workers.

In short, CNC turning has advantages in terms of production efficiency, process accuracy, stability, processing flexibility and repeat production capacity.

CNC Turning Precautions

CNC turning techniques include:

Reasonable selection of tools: According to the shape, material and processing requirements of the part, select the appropriate tool, including tool handle, number of cutting edges, tool nose radius, etc.

Determine the processing parameters: During the processing, it is necessary to determine the appropriate processing parameters, such as feed speed, cutting depth, cutting speed, etc., as well as various setting parameters of the machine tool.

Pay attention to the clamping force: before processing, ensure that the clamping force of the workpiece is appropriate to avoid unstable or deformed processing due to too small or too large clamping force.

Make good use of coolant: In the process of machining, make good use of coolant to reduce cutting temperature, reduce tool wear, and improve surface quality at the same time.

Confirm the correctness of the program: CNC turning is a program-based processing method, so it is necessary to confirm the correctness of the program before processing to avoid waste and errors caused by misoperation.

Pay attention to safety issues: When operating CNC turning, pay attention to safety issues, wear personal protective equipment correctly, and abide by relevant safety regulations and standards.

In short, CNC turning processing skills need to comprehensively consider many factors such as processing materials, part shape, and processing requirements and also need to pay attention to safety issues.
