CNC turning refers to a manufacturing process wherein bars of materials are held in a chuck and rotated while at the same time, a tool is fed to it to remove extra material until the desired shape is achieved. It is also known as subtraction machining.
All the work can be done from one side of the machine if there is one turret, but some machines have a main spindle and sub-spindle for manufacturing CNC turned components more quickly if there is high demand. In this configuration, the main spindle partially completes the workpiece which is then shifted to the sub spindle on the other side where the job is completed.
WHAT BENEFITS CNC TURNED COMPONENTS OFFER OVER TRADITIONAL COMPONENTS?
SAFETY
Providing safety to workers is the main concern of manufacturing companies, and CNC systems offer the utmost safety. The machine operator is completely safe from all sharp objects due to the safety features in the machine. Moreover, the operator can keep track of a track of what is going on while the CNC-turned components are being manufactured through glass rather than direct observation through the mill or spindle. The closed body prevents the operator from coming in contact with cooling fluids that can cause bodily harm.
LOW LABOR COSTS
In traditional machining, laborers had to keep a track of the tool path so a laborer could keep up with only a single machine tool at a time but with CNC machining, the tool paths are predefined and repeatable even across multiple runs. The CNC-turned components cut pieces with high precision without any human intervention. The tool moves on its own and the operator just has to check whether there are any errors in the system. Laborers, therefore, get more free time and can focus on operating multiple machines simultaneously. This reduces the need for labour which in turn lowers operation costs.
FLEXIBILITY
CNC systems offer flexibility as all kinds of operations, such as facing, threading, indexing, grooving, tapering and drilling, can be done in a single machine so you can easily program the tool path and copy the movement on other machine tools. On the other hand, with traditional machining, you need separate machines to carry out each of the above-mentioned tasks and would require changeover of tools to complete a single component.
LOWER TEST RUNS
CNC-turned components do not require test runs since machine operators can use CAD-CAM visualization systems to view the action after the completion of tool passing beforehand which was not not possible with traditional machining.
