For producing parts with close tolerances and complex geometries, CNC turning is one of the most useful and precise manufacturing processes. Our CNC turning and Swiss turning options cover a range of rotating parts fabricated from aluminum, brass, and stainless steel that our customers use in applications that demand high precision and reliability.
What is CNC Turning?
CNC turning, or computer numerical control turning, is a process for shaping material into the desired geometries by holding the cutting tool in a stationary position while continuously rotating the workpiece around its axis. Compared to manual lathe turning, CNC provides high repeatability, consistent accuracy, and a high degree of complexity while removing as much human involvement as possible.
Key Features of CNC Turning:
Rotating WorkpieceMotion: The workpiece’s natural rotation rotates around its turning shaft while the cutting tool moves linearly.
High Precision: Part/systems can reach tolerances upwards of ±0.002 mm, making CNC turning useful for components found in the aerospace, medical, and automotive industries.
Complex Geometries: The CNC turning centers used today can fabricate complex thread, shaft, and stepped diameter geometries along with grooves and other surface features in one setup.
MaterialFlexibility: CNC Turning can cover aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and exotic alloys.
Efficiency and Scalability: Suitable for producing small-prototype runs as well as high-volume production decreasing both lead times and labor costs.
CNC Turning vs CNC Milling
Feature | CNC Turning | CNC Milling |
Workpiece Motion | Rotates | Stationary |
Tool Motion | Linear | Rotates & linear |
Ideal Parts | Cylindrical shapes | Complex 3D geometries |
Precision | High for concentric features | High for flat and contoured surfaces |
Common Materials | Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel | Aluminum, Brass, Steel, Plastics |
Understanding this difference helps engineers choose the optimal process for aluminum CNC turning parts, brass CNC turned components, or stainless steel CNC turning parts.
