What Are CNC Turning Centers?
Also known as CNC lathes or computer numerical control lathes, CNC turning centers are advanced machine tools used for precision manufacturing and shaping of various metals, including aluminum, steel, titanium, copper and brass. CNC lathe machines are equipped with a spindle that rotates the workpiece, and cutting tools are applied to shape the material to meet the required specifications.
Manufacturers That Utilize CNC Turning Centers
CNC turning centers are preferred for mass production, so various industries such as the automotive, aerospace, defense, and military, medical, and transportation industries use them to manufacture parts.
Types of CNC Lathes
2-Axis Horizontal Lathes
This type of lathe has a horizontal axis, so it is ideal for heavy-duty cutting and shaping. They are especially useful for turning long and large-diameter workpieces. The horizontal design of the lathe allows for gravity to assist in removing chips from the workpiece, making it easier to manage.
Multi-Axis Lathes
Organizations that produce complex parts should consider using multi-axis lathes, as they are accurate, precise, and can perform multiple operations simultaneously. For instance, 3-axis and 4-axis CNC lathes can move the cutting tool in three or four different directions, providing the flexibility and accuracy needed to create complex parts with extreme precision. These lathes are typically used for parts that require angled drilling or milling operations. 5-Axis and 6-axis CNC lathes, or multitasking machines or mill-turn centers, provide even more freedom of movement by cutting through material in five and six different directions. These multitasking turning centers combine all the features and benefits of both CNC lathes and CNC machining centers, allowing for multiple machining processes to be completed on a single machine tool.
CNC Swiss Lathes
Swiss-style lathes are ideal for small, intricate parts, as they boast a guide bushing that supports the material being machined, allowing for greater accuracy and repeatability. Browse our selection of used swiss-type lathes.
Vertical Lathes
As their name implies, vertical lathes have a vertical axis. They are perfect for delicate workpieces. The vertical design allows for easier chip removal, and the vertical orientation also helps to prevent the workpiece from being pulled from the chuck.
