CNC Turning Process: Micron-Level Precision for Shaft & Disc Parts

The CNC turning process is a core manufacturing method at our facility, utilizing computer-controlled lathes to produce rotational parts with high precision. It begins with CAD/CAM programming, converting 3D models into tool paths, followed by material loading onto our Tsugami or Citizen lathes. Our process handles materials like titanium alloys, aluminum, and plastics, achieving dimensional tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm. For example, we use the CNC turning process to machine aerospace titanium shafts, maintaining ±0.01mm accuracy. The process includes in-process inspection and post-machining CMM verification to ensure quality. We optimize the process for efficiency, with turn-milling composite machines enabling multiple operations in one setup, reducing cycle times and improving productivity by 40% compared to traditional methods.
