Also, since the process uses computer-generated programs and codes, its products are of high dimensional accuracy – one of its main advantages.
Le tournage CNC est un processus de fabrication soustractif typique qui utilise un outil de coupe pour retirer des parties d'un matériau de son extérieur. The workpiece rotates (continued turning) as tidbits get chipped off till it reaches the desired shape, diameter, and size of the end product.
Cependant, 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.
