What Is CNC Turning?
CNC Turning is a subtractive manufacturing process that utilizes a CNC lathe to shape a workpiece by rotating it against stationary cutting tools. This method is ideal for producing complex cylindrical parts with tight tolerances. At AMP Precision, we leverage advanced CNC lathes equipped with live tooling, allowing us to perform both turning and milling operations in a single setup, enhancing versatility and efficiency.
How CNC Turning Works?
The CNC turning process begins with a CAD design that guides the CNC machine. The workpiece is clamped onto a rotating spindle, and as it turns, the cutting tool shapes the material according to the design specifications. Our advanced multi-axis CNC lathes enable simultaneous movements along multiple axes, allowing for intricate geometries and high-precision cutting. This technology supports high-speed machining, which reduces production times without compromising quality.
