Enhanced precision: CNC lathe machining and turning allows for highly precise machining and finishing of components, with tolerances often held to within 0.0001 inches. This level of precision can be difficult to achieve with traditional machining methods.
Increased efficiency: CNC lathe machining and turning is highly automated, which allows for faster turnaround times and reduced labor costs.
Improved repeatability: Because CNC lathe machining and turning relies on computer-controlled processes, parts produced using these methods are consistently identical. This can be particularly important for industries that require strict tolerances and high levels of quality control.
Greater versatility: CNC lathe machining and turning can be used to produce a wide range of components, from small, complex parts to large, heavy duty components. This versatility makes it an ideal solution for a variety of industries and applications.
Enhanced safety: CNC lathe machining and turning reduces the need for manual labor, which can help to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries on the shop floor. In addition, CNC machines can be programmed to follow specific safety protocols, further enhancing safety on the job.
CNC lathe machining and turning is a process in which a computer numerically controlled (CNC) lathe is used to shape and finish a workpiece through the use of rotating cutting tools. In CNC lathe machining and turning, the workpiece is held in place by a chuck and rotated at high speeds while the cutting tools are brought into contact with the workpiece to remove material and create the desired shape.
CNC lathe machining and turning is typically used to produce cylindrical parts, such as shafts, pins, and screws, but it can also be used to produce complex shapes and contours. The process is highly precise and allows for the production of high-quality parts with tight tolerances. CNC lathe machining and turning is widely used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and more.
Owens’ CNC lathe machines and turning centers accommodate CAD/CAM software systems. Our CNC lathe/turning department typically works with diameters below 2”, but our maximum capacity is 14”.
Precision lathe work is used across a number of industries to produce precision dependent components with fast manufacturing times and repeatable accuracy, including:
Aircrafts
Military Satellites
Aerospace
Medical Devices
Optical Equipment
Tool & Die
Pharmaceutical
Food Manufacturing
