What is CNC Turning?

CNC Turning is an intricate and detailed method of creating custom parts and components using a lathe. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) turning is a highly skilled, Precision Engineering process. Based around one of the oldest machine tools in the world – the lathe – turning in its traditional form can be traced back to ancient Egypt.
Through modern computer technology and skilled operators, a component can now be created to the minutest detail and to the most rigid of designs using a Turning Lathe, with precise tolerances and a vast array of shapes. The turning lathe secures and rotates the stock, or raw material, being machined along a dual axis of movement at high speeds, while a single point cutting or boring tool shapes the material, resulting in the desired component being created. The lathe is controlled by computer programs; ensuring meticulously exact components are produced, and can also be reproduced. At MNB, we pride ourselves on being experts in the latest CNC Turning Technology and Processes, and on our ability to create the components our customers demand swiftly, efficiently and precisely.

What are the Benefits of CNC Turning?

CNC machining is far better than manual machining for a few specific reasons:

• Accuracy: Programming a CNC to complete a job creates a consistent and accurate cut to ensure product quality. It can be repeated over and over in the exact same manner.
• Cost Effectiveness: The cost of hiring a person to manually machine parts at scale is far more expensive than having a machine do it, as a machine will not tire, does not need lunch breaks, and can, theoretically run 24/7.
• Speed: CNC turning can churn out hundreds and hundreds of parts while retaining a consistent end product.

What Parts Can CNC Turning Make?

CNC turning services are highly versatile, which makes them ideal for industries ranging from engineering and aerospace to fine art. Typical parts made from CNC turning may include:

• Metal components. Countless automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery applications rely on turned metal shafts, rods, and other various components. Common metal materials used in these parts may include aluminum, brass, and steel.
• Acrylic components. CNC turning is a popular method for creating cylindrical acrylic parts, such as components for signage, machine parts for microfluidic devices, and decorative items such as ornaments and art pieces.
• Electronic components. CNC turning is valuable for manufacturing various electronic components, including components used in printed circuit boards. Computer-controlled manufacturing processes have made these parts smaller and more efficient than ever before.
