Industrial Precision CNC Turning

Industrial Precision CNC Turning

CNC turning machines rotationally symmetric parts by spinning the part on its axis. Learn about the process and the Vurcon CNC lathes to produce them.

What CNC turning is and what it is used for

CNC turning is a machining process in which the part rotates, clamped in the spindle, while a cutting tool moves to remove material and shape turned parts: shafts, bushings, flanges, spindles or any part with cylindrical or conical geometry. The numerical control programs the tool path to repeat the operation accurately on every part.

Advantages of Vurcon CNC turning

CNC lathes make it possible to combine several operations (turning, facing, threading and, on models with live tooling, also milling and drilling) in the same work cycle, reducing the number of times the part has to be repositioned. The Vurcon range covers different configurations to suit part size and production volume.

CNC turning machinery

Vurcon manufactures and distributes three families of CNC lathes: the slant-bed lathes of the SBL series, geared to production with spindle speeds of up to 5,000 rpm; the flat-bed lathes of the PL/PLM series, for parts requiring a longer distance between centers; and the EL series electronic cycle lathes, with a 15-inch touchscreen.

  • Slant-bed lathes: Fanuc 0i-TF Plus control
  • Flat-bed lathes: Fagor 8060 Elite control
  • Versions with Y-axis, sub-spindle or live tooling depending on the model

Applications of CNC turning in the metalworking industry

CNC turning is common in the manufacture of mechanical components for machinery, automotive, capital goods and any production that requires turned parts with controlled tolerances and repeatability between batches.

Frequently asked questions about CNC turning

Which CNC lathe do I need for my production?

It depends on the diameter and length of the part, the material and the production volume. Contact our technical team to compare the different series available.

What is the difference between a slant bed and a flat bed?

A slant bed makes chip evacuation easier and usually reaches higher spindle speeds; a flat bed offers a longer distance between centers for longer parts. The choice depends on the type of part to be machined.

Can you mill on a CNC lathe?

Yes, on models with live tooling it is possible to carry out milling and drilling operations without changing machines. Check with our technical team which models include this option.
