CNC turning
We have many years of experience in machining and excel in providing specialised solutions to our customers. The latest machines in our 6,500 square metre machine park can process both complex parts and other simpler items to high quality standards.
CNC turning in practice
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and refers to a widely used computer-controlled metalworking technology. When you need to have your metal CNC turned, we use the right equipment to shape the item to achieve the desired result. Items are shaped by placing the metal in a CNC lathe so that the item rotates around an axis. This allows the tools to cut and remove material.
CNC turning is an efficient and recommended method because computer technology makes it possible to quickly manufacture complex identical components in large quantities. As the machining process is automated, this means that the unit price is lower than would be possible were they to be produced manually.
It also means that items are manufactured to high precision standards every time. If you have a specific desire for machining flat or curved surfaces onto your metal items, we recommend CNC milling.
Advantages of choosing CNC turning
As mentioned above, there’s a high degree of precision when working with CNC turning. As it is done on a machine and thereby automatically, the risk of human errors is minimised. However, operating machinery like this requires knowhow and practical experience. And we have both here at Dan Vals. Our highly skilled employees know how to operate the machine safely, securely, and in the most optimal way, and we also know which materials and types of projects that are suitable for CNC turning.
The many advantages of CNC turning include the following things:
- High degree of precision
- Uniformed result – every time
- A decreased risk of errors
- High output without compromising on quality
- A flexible solution that’s easy to adjust
- Fewer production costs for us and thereby also for you as the customer
- Possible to turn many different items
What is CNC turning not optimal for?
CNC turning is a great solution for many things, but this method does have its limitations as well. There are therefore things that CNC turning is not optimal for. For example, CNC turning is not the ideal solution if you want a metal item that’s very big and is hard or maybe impossible to place in the CNC machine.
Other items and projects that CNC turning is not optimal for are e.g. very long and thin items. If you want to turn a metal bar, it is more ideal to use another method, as the long thin item can get deformed during the CNC turning. Furthermore, CNC turning is not optimal for items that need to be shaped on the inside in a complex way.
If you need to get metalworking for your items in one of these ways, you’re welcome to contact us. Then we will help you find a good alternative to CNC turning.
Should you choose CNC turning or CNC milling?
There are significant differences between CNC turning and CNC milling.
In the case of CNC turning, it is the item that rotates, and it moves against the cutting tool that removes superfluous material. By doing this, conical or round shapes are typically made. CNC turning is therefore a good choice, if you want to adjust some metal bars/beams or if you want round corners.
When it comes to CNC milling, the tool rotates instead, and the metal item is fastened. If we work with CNC milling, we have a higher degree of flexibility in regards to shaping the item. This type of CNC machine is optimal to e.g. working with larger items. It is possible to make more complex shapes with CNC milling, and CNC milling is also an ideal choice if you want to make grooves or holes in an item.
