What are CNC turning aluminum parts?

A turned part is a part processed into a product using a lathe on a lathe, using the rotational motion of the workpiece and the linear or curvilinear motion of the tool to change the shape and size of the blank and process it to meet the requirements of the drawing.

(1) What are turned parts?

Turning is a method of cutting the workpiece on the lathe by using the workpiece to rotate relative to the tool. The cutting energy for turning is mainly provided by the workpiece rather than the tool. Turning is the most basic and common cutting method, and occupies a very important position in production. Turning is suitable for processing rotary surface, most of the workpiece with the rotary surface can be processed by turning methods, such as internal and external cylindrical surface, internal and external conical surface, end face, groove, thread and rotary forming surface, etc., the tool used is mainly turning tool. Turning accuracy is generally IT11-IT7, some can reach IT6, the surface roughness Ra can reach 12.5-08um. the use of turning parts we are called turning parts, turning parts are also many types, to hard turning to maintain the thermal stability of the parts and famous.

(2)About CNC lathe and CNC turning aluminum parts

With a CNC lathe, the material to be machined can be sheared off slowly. The result is a beautifully finished product or intricate part. Because of their versatility, these machines are used by many industries, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, gunsmithing, sports, and more.

CNC lathes can be used to produce flat and threaded surfaces and, for decorative lathes, very complex three-dimensional products. In any case, the workpiece can be held firmly in place by one or two centers, and at least one can be moved horizontally. However, clamps or holders can also be used to hold the material in place.

Some key examples of CNC-turned parts resulting from the use of CNC lathes include

(1)Baseball bats

(2)Bowls

(3)Camshafts

(4)Crankshafts

(5)Ball cranks

(6)Restaurant table and chair legs

(7)Gun barrel

(8)Musical instruments

Because the work is so exhaustive, it is essential that qualified professionals operate the lathe. Although the manufacturing process is made easier by automation (including complex commands and the speed of internal computer instructions), a qualified operator can still supervise the entire operation. Therefore, special training is necessary to develop the necessary skills.

Despite being automated, CNC lathes present challenges. Therefore, operators must understand the various parameters of computer programming and turning part fabrication, safety standards, and a host of other important information.
