CNC Turning

 

Reliable, flexible and exact, our bar fed CNC turning delivers every time

Whether you need continuous, large volumes or a straightforward ‘one off’ production, M-CNC have the CNC turning solution. Our 50mm, 75mm and 100mm diameter bar fed production cells all feature Renishaw probes, part catchers, and milling capabilities with Y and C axis.

Our billet production cells make large part machining simple, capable of machining up to 550mm diameter and 1250mm in length. Kuka Robot automation, including ‘lights out’ machining, provides peace of mind for large volume quantities in the tens of thousands.

Our CNC milling and CNC turning manufacturing capabilities are second to none. Every step has been carefully designed to ensure maximum capacity and superbly efficient, precise production levels.

What is CNC turning?

CNC turning is a manufacturing process in which material is removed from a rotating cylindrical billet to create an incredibly precise finished product. CNC turning can produce highly complex components to an extremely precise finish, and in large quantities.

CNC turning is also sometimes known as subtraction machining, as it involves manufacturing parts by removing material.

How does CNC turning work?

There are many different kinds of CNC turning, with a range of tooling options, spindle options, and outer diameter limitations.

Generally, bars of material are held in a chuck and rotated as a tool is fed to the piece, removing material to create the shape of the part. The starting material is usually round in shape, though it can also be other shapes (e.g. square or hexagonal). A turret, with attached tooling, moves the bar of raw material to create the desired result. For machining centres like ours that have both CNC milling and CNC turning capabilities, this rotation can be stopped to allow the milling of other shapes.
