CNC Turning
Advantages of CNC Turning
CNC turning manufacturing process has several benefits, including:
#1 Accuracy
You can use a CNC turning machine to execute exact measurements. This way, basic errors can be eliminated while making CAD or CAM files. It can also offer high accuracy for completing the entire production cycle or for producing prototypes.
With CNC turning, you can make precise cuts which are controlled by computer programs in CNC machining, resulting in the products being similar without any sizing errors.
#2 Flexibility
CNC turning centers are available in numerous sizes, accommodating the application’s flexibility. As CNC machining is programmed, the adjustments are easier to make.
CNC turning operations can be done with necessary programming adjustments to the CAM program. You can even build something different with the machine. Thus, if you are in need of unique parts, you can depend on the precision of the CNC machining process.
#3 Safety
CNC manufacturing always rigorously adheres to the safety rules and regulations necessary to offer complete protection to those operating various parts of the process. High-quality CNC turning machines need less labor because they are automatic. These machines only need a monitor to operate.
Similarly, lathe machines use semi-enclosed or fully enclosed devices. It helps avoid flying particles from processed items, decreasing potential harm.
#4 Fast Results
Lastly, using CNC turning machines can reduce the chances of errors occurring and oftentimes deliver faster results. The varied tasks that CNC machines or tuning centers can do are finished faster, more effectively and efficiently, and without damaging the end-product. Therefore, you can receive precision components with a speedy turnaround time.

CNC Turning Process
CNC turning is a complex process, but we have the team and knowhow to complete the work with ease.
- Convert CAD design files to CNC program requirements
- Preparethe CNC turning machine
- Manufacture CNC-turned parts
Clark Industries takes your CAD design and converts it into a CNC program machine language. While we don’t use any advanced programming, we surely need a 2D drawing of the design.
We then set up a CNC turning machine. This process is automated, but there is a need for an operator. We take extra care with power switches because CNC turning machines can be dangerous.
Lastly, Clark Industries manufactures the parts in desired shapes. You can choose from different turning operations, providing you an array of possibilities for whatever you might need.
What parts can CNC turning make?
CNC turning can make a variety of parts, including flywheels, auto parts, toy parts, gears, tubes, crankshafts, and more. In addition, it can be used for manufacturing parts for medical, automotive, aerospace, and other industries.
What is the difference between CNC lathes and CNC turning centers?
A CNC turning center is a computer-controlled machine that can drill, tap, turn, and mail. It uses live tools along with dual spindles, multiple turrets, Y-axis, and a cutting tool turret. In contrast, CNC lathes are much simpler; they have carriage tailstock, headstock, and bed.
Compared to CNC lathes, CNC turning centers have complex structures, which make them far more productive and versatile than lathes.
Can heat treatment be applied to CNC turning center parts?
Yes, heat treatment can be applied to improve the hardness of the precision-turned parts. Common heat treatment processes include hardening, normalizing, annealing, and quenching.
What is the difference between CNC turning and CNC mailing?
In CNC turning, the part rotates for cutting, but in CNC mailing, the cutting tool rotates to cut the parts. Mostly, CNC turning is used for cylindrical parts, which rotate and create friction when placed against a cutting tool. But you can create more complex parts with CNC mailing.
Different types of CNC turning operations?
Common types of CNC turning operations include tapered turning, facing, grooving, knurling, threading, spherical generation, facing, polygonal turning, threading, and more.
