In the world of modern manufacturing, precision, efficiency, and reliability are paramount. For businesses seeking highquality custom parts, understanding the core processes of CNC Milling and CNC Turning is the first step toward making informed sourcing decisions. These technologies form the backbone of our comprehensive onestop CNC machining services for the global market.
CNC Milling: Sculpting Complexity
CNC Milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that employs computercontrolled, multipoint cutting tools to remove material from a stationary workpiece. The cutting tool rotates at high speeds while moving along various axes (typically 3 to 5) to create complex geometries, slots, holes, and contoured surfaces. Modern multiaxis milling centers can produce incredibly intricate parts in a single setup, significantly reducing production time and potential errors. This process is ideal for creating parts with complex features that are not radially symmetric, such as engine blocks, mold tools, and enclosures. The versatility in the shapes it can produce makes it a cornerstone of our prototyping and highvolume production services.
CNC Turning: Mastering Symmetry
CNC Turning, performed on a lathe, is the process of creating cylindrical parts. Here, the workpiece is rotated at high speed while a singlepoint cutting tool is traversed along its length to remove material. This method is exceptionally efficient for producing parts with rotational symmetry, such as shafts, bolts, connectors, and bushings. Operations like facing, boring, grooving, and threading are performed with exceptional accuracy. The introduction of live tooling on CNC turning centers, known as millturn machines, combines turning and milling operations, allowing us to add crossholes and flats to a turned part without a secondary setup.
