CNC Turned Parts are parts manufactured through CNC turning processing technology. It is a high-precision, high-efficiency machining process that utilizes computer control. It mainly manufactures parts with complex geometries, such as cylinders, cones and threads.
Machining Principle of CNC Turned Parts
CNC lathe controls the movement trajectory of the tool through the computer program to cut and process the rotating workpiece. The specific process is as follows:
Workpiece Clamping: The workpiece is fixed on the spindle and rotates with the spindle.
Tool Movement: The tool moves along the X-axis (radial) and Z-axis (axial) according to the program instructions to cut.
Cutting Process: The tool contacts the workpiece to remove excess material and form the desired shape and size.
Automatic Tool Change: Some CNC lathes are capable of automatically changing different tools according to the program. So this enables it to complete multiple processes.
Cooling And Chip Removal: Coolant is used to reduce temperature during machining, and chips are removed by chip removal system.
The core of CNC lathe lies in its control system. It can accurately control the tool trajectory, speed and other parameters to ensure machining accuracy and surface quality.
