Also, since the process uses computer-generated programs and codes, its products are of high dimensional accuracy – one of its main advantages.
CNC-Drehen ist ein typisches subtraktives Herstellungsverfahren, bei dem ein Schneidwerkzeug verwendet wird, um Teile eines Materials von seiner Außenseite zu entfernen. The workpiece rotates (continued turning) as tidbits get chipped off till it reaches the desired shape, diameter, and size of the end product.
Jedoch, the cutting tool, typically a single-point end, is non-rotary. Instead, the workpiece only rotates around it. CNC lathes are the typical machines used industrially for achieving turning operations.
Meanwhile, CNC turning is suitable for cutting metals, wood, plastics, and other polymers.
