Advanced Metal Turning Techniques for Complex Designs

一、CNC Turning Size Range​

Small Parts

Diameters typically range from 1 to 20 millimeters, with lengths between 5 and 100 millimeters, such as micro-shafts and connector pins in electronic devices. These parts require high precision, and CNC turning can precisely control dimensions to ensure compatibility with other components. During processing, it can collaborate with High Precision CNC Milling to create intricate structures.​

Medium-sized Parts

Diameters generally range from 20 to 200 millimeters, with lengths from 100 to 1,000 millimeters, covering most commonly used shaft-type and disc-type parts, such as motor shafts and flanges. CNC turning efficiently processes these parts, ensuring roundness, coaxiality, and other geometric tolerances to meet mechanical transmission requirements. It is often used in conjunction with 5-Axis CNC Milling for assembling complex parts.

Large parts

With diameters exceeding 200 millimeters and lengths up to several meters, such as the main spindles of large machine tools or drive shafts for ships. Processing such parts requires large CNC lathes, which provide sufficient torque and rigidity to ensure stable processing. Some parts may incorporate additional processes from metal fabrication services, such as welding or heat treatment, to enhance overall performance.
