Turning is one more machining process that SUMIPARTS SAS performs among many others. On this process, surfaces of revolution are created by chip removal . These surfaces of revolution are produced when a cut is made in a plane perpendicular to the axis and whose result is circular. In the turning process , the initial part is removed to give a desired shape.
Some of the advantages of using the CNC turning process is that it offers a good surface finish, requires little energy, and is easier to collect chips.
The types of lathe for the turning process
Front : For the manufacture of short pieces, but with large diameter.
Vertical : When the main axis is vertical starting from the ground.
CNC lathe : It is the lathe using numerical control and is presented as the definitive lathe process for machining parts.
Automatic : To make it work in an automated way, a rod is inserted into a tube with a head and adjusted with clamping pieces.
Parallel : It has a chip starter whose cutting movement adjusts to the rotating part. It requires qualified personnel.
Stages of the turning process in machining of materials
Working times:
- Loading and unloading : All the time spent fixing the piece. This time changes depending on the size or weight of the piece.
- Cut : The necessary time to make all the required cuts.
- Tool replacement : The time spent replacing the tool which is at the end of its useful life.
