CNC machining of automotive components
The automotive sector works with series of parts in which repeatability between units is decisive: each component must meet the same tolerance as the previous one. CNC machining, with machining centers and lathes, is the usual process for manufacturing these parts.
Efficiency and automation in parts production
Our machines feature automatic tool changers that allow several operations (milling, turning, drilling, tapping) to be chained in the same cycle, reducing the number of times the part is moved between machines.
Advantages of CNC solutions in the automotive sector
Having machining centers and CNC lathes with different travels and power ratings makes it possible to adapt the machine to the size and type of component, from small precision parts to larger components for industrial vehicles.
- Vertical machining centers for prismatic parts
- Slant-bed lathes for turned parts in series
- Automatic tool changers to reduce cycle times
Application cases in automotive machining
Common applications include transmission components, brackets, flanges and turned parts that require tight tolerances and repeatability in medium and high-volume production.
Frequently asked questions about CNC for automotive
Which machine is recommended for automotive series parts?
It depends on the type of part: for prismatic components, a machining center; for turned parts, a CNC lathe. Check with our technical team about your specific case.
Can aluminum and steel parts be made on the same machines?
Yes, within the power and spindle speed limits of each model, adapting tools and cutting parameters to each material.
What production volume can Vurcon machines handle?
It depends on the model and the chosen configuration. Our technical team will advise you on the most suitable machine for your expected volume.
