Many sophisticated workpieces require the use of precision machining after the casting process to achieve the final, desired qualities. Advanced, computerized machine tools are used in precision machining to satisfy the demanding tolerances, and create the most complex shapes required for so many of today’s high-tech components. Manufacturers use computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools to meet the demanding requirements for accuracy and high-volume production. In this way, a user’s unique designs can be converted into exact shapes through multiple dimensions.
A wide variety of CNC machining tools is used to remove unneeded material in a precise manner, while meeting even the most complex design criteria of a piece. These machining tools include CNC lathes and turning machines, CNC milling machines, CNC laser machines, and CNC electric discharge machines. This article looks at the types of CNC lathe machining processes.
With a CNC lathe machine, the material or workpiece is held in place on the machine. It is mounted on a main spindle and rotated on various axes. CNC lathes are available with a number of axes, from two to six or more, which allow for the more complex components to be produced. The higher the number of axes, the more complex the machining capabilities will be. Changing the position of the axes affects the way the machined part is positioned, approached, and rotated. Cutting tools work on the material as it rotates to achieve the desired results. tools.
With their high degree of flexibility and programmability, CNC lathe machines are capable of completing many complex processes, including:
With their precise machining and increased speed capabilities, CNC lathe machining processes are used to provide precision machined components to OEM customers and system integrators for a diverse array of end-market applications such as healthcare, automotive, aerospace and electronics. CNC lathe machining processes can produce precision components ranging in size from surgical instruments and gears to airplane engine components and automobile frames.
