What is CNC Turning?

The answer to the question “What is CNC Turning?” can be stated as: “A machining method used to shape materials into specific forms.” This method is particularly preferred for processing metal and plastic materials to desired diameters and lengths. At Take Craft Engineering, we achieve excellent results by utilizing CNC turning techniques, especially for parts requiring high precision and repeatability. CNC technology can process all types of materials and is an ideal solution for manufacturing strong and durable components across various industries.

How Does CNC Turning Work?

CNC turning is carried out using computer-controlled machines. The CNC machine processes the material according to designs specified by the user. This ensures high precision with minimal margin of error. During CNC turning, the workpiece rotates while cutting tools shape the material into the desired form. Machines manage the machining process through automated programming systems, consistently ensuring the same high quality with every operation.

CNC Turning Methods

The CNC turning process includes various machining techniques, usually determined by the dimensions, shape, and type of material being processed. Common methods include turning, drilling, and milling. In turning, the workpiece rotates while the cutting tool moves in a fixed position to shape the material. Drilling is performed by CNC turning machines, especially for hole drilling and channel cutting operations. Milling involves the cutting tool approaching the workpiece from different angles, allowing precise shaping. These methods cater to various industrial production needs and are widely used in different sectors.

High Precision and Repeatability

CNC turning is an ideal method for producing high-precision parts. Thanks to computer control, consistent quality is achievable in every operation. CNC turning machines can operate with micro-level accuracy, particularly essential for components requiring extremely tight tolerances. This high precision provides significant advantages in various industries, notably in automotive and aerospace applications.

Parts Produced with CNC Turning
