Due to the exceptional rigidity of CNC lathes, precise manufacturing capabilities, and the ease of both manual and automatic compensation adjustments, they excel at producing parts with stringent dimensional accuracy requirements. In certain scenarios, a lathe can substitute a milling machine. Moreover, the CNC turning tool's motion, achieved through high-precision interpolation and servo drive mechanisms, combined with the machine tool's rigidity and superior manufacturing precision, enables aluminum turned parts suppliers to assist you in customizing processed components.

The exceptional rigidity of CNC lathes, combined with their high manufacturing precision and tool accuracy, along with convenient manual and automatic compensation features, enables them to handle parts with demanding dimensional accuracy requirements effectively. In certain scenarios, a lathe can replace a milling machine. Additionally, the movement of CNC turning tools, facilitated by high-precision interpolation and servo drive systems, along with the machine tool's rigidity and precise manufacturing capabilities, allows for processing parts with strict requirements for straightness, roundness, cylindricity, and other shape precision aspects. When dealing with arcs and curved profiles, the achieved shapes closely align with the geometrical specifications on the drawings, outperforming copying lathes. CNC turning excels in enhancing position accuracy and maintaining stable machining quality.

rotary parts with high surface roughness requirements

The CNC lathe is equipped with a feature for constant speed cutting, enabling the processing of parts with uniformly small surface roughness. The surface roughness is contingent on factors such as feed rate and cutting speed, which are determined by the material, finishing allowance, and tool selection. Unlike conventional lathes where turning cones and end faces may result in inconsistent surface roughness due to fixed speeds, CNC lathes allow for the selection of optimal speeds for cutting these areas, ensuring small and uniform surface roughness post-turning. CNC turning is also well-suited for parts with varying surface roughness requirements, where selecting appropriate feed rates—larger for larger parts and smaller for smaller parts—helps achieve the desired roughness values consistently.

rotary parts with complex surface shapes

Given the capability of straight line and arc interpolation in CNC lathes, they can seamlessly craft intricate shapes found in rotary parts comprised of various straight lines and curves. The curves outlining a part's contour can be mathematical equations or predefined curves. When dealing with contours shaped by straight lines or arcs, the machine tool's linear or arc interpolation functions are employed directly. However, for contours shaped by non-circular curves, an initial approximation of the contour is achieved using linear or arc interpolation, followed by the execution of interpolation cutting through the same linear or arc interpolation functions.
