CNC Lathe Machining
What is CNC Turning Machining?
CNC turning machining fixes and rotates the raw material rod on its driving headstock to remove material by means of relative movement between various cutting tools and the raw material rod.
Automatic CNC Turning Machine can be combined with specific CNC machining operations, such as turning, threading, boring, drilling, grooving, reaming, cutting, facing, parting, knurling, etc.
A precision-manufacturing CNC machine with computer numerical control (CNC) is a powerful machine integrated with high-precision CNC control, automatic feeders, coolant systems, translation/rotary systems, etc.
Apporo mainly operates high-precision Japanese and Taiwanese CNC turning machining centers, such as Nomura, Star, Mori Seiki, Miyano, Takisawa, Chiah Chyun, etc., generally classified into Fixed Head and Sliding Head Turning/Lathe Machining Centers for various purposes.
Is my part a good fit for CNC Turning Machining?
There are some things to determine if a part can be made most cost-effectively on a CNC Turning machine:
What is the largest OD on the CNC machining part in comparison to the production quantity?
If a part is under 65mm OD, it may be suitable for higher volume mass production (over 1000 pieces). If it's larger than 20mm OD, the part will need to be chucked individually during CNC machining, so it's most competitive for lower quantity work, such as prototypes.
Could my CNC machining part be run on a Swiss Screw Machine?
If the CNC machining part is under 20mm OD and high volume (over 5,000 pieces), it will be suitable to run on a Swiss Screw Machine (so-called CNC Automatic Turning/Lathe Machine) much more cost-effectively and with high precision.
