8. What is CNC turning?

CNC turning is a subtractive type of CNC machining where a rough piece of metal is spun at high speed and a cutting instrument revolves around it to cut away the excess material until the desired shape is achieved. The turning process allows for the manufacturing of a wide array of cylindrical or spherical parts, with high accuracy and consistency. 

CNC turning uses the same principle as a common lathe, except the CNC machines are computer-controlled. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and refers to the manufacturing process of machined parts led by a computer program. 

The process of CNC turning is also capable of:

• Drilling

• Boring

• Taper turning

Custom CNC turning allows a multitude of possibilities, from specific sizes and shapes, to the desired surface finishing for a specific look. 

We supply turned parts to a wide range of industries.

With the development of automatization and robotics, we have many clients from the machinery manufacturing industry, where we supply small and big CNC turned components. 

The pharma and medical industries, where there is a need for small-turned parts with increased precision, are also among the main industries we cover.

We also produce large turned parts for the heavy industry, automotive and aeronautics fields.
