Turning

Turning is one of the most important machining processes for achieving precision in component production. This section explains the basics, areas of application, and quality criteria—tailored for buyers who want to understand specifications and communicate efficiently with suppliers.

• CNC turning

  For CNC it is an automated for the production of rotationally symmetrical components. The process offers far-reaching advantages over conventional production on a rotary bench and is predominantly used in the metal processing industry. CNC lathe is characterized by a high degree of automation and convinces above all by a high repeatability as well as the possibility to efficiently manufacture even complex rotationally symmetrical geometries. The range of applications of CNC lathes is diverse and ranges from the production of CNC lathes for the automotive industry and machine and plant construction to the production of small parts for medical technology and electrical engineering. Both small and medium series and large series can be manufactured economically by CNC machining.

• Turning

  The turning is one of the most important cutting methods and is used to manufacture cylindrical components. A single-edged tool (e.g. a rotary chisel made of high-speed steel) is guided to a rotating component in order to remove successive chips and to achieve the desired geometric shape.

• Manufacturing process

  All processes for the production of geometrically determined bodies with predetermined technical properties and dimensions are referred to as manufacturing processes. In addition, material-changing methods such as hardening or soft annealing also belong to the manufacturing processes. Under the preamble of manufacturing methods, the individual methods are divided into six main groups according to their common features. These are described in more detail in DIN 8580 and categorized in subgroups and process variants. Manufacturing processes serve both for the production of semifinished products for further processing and for the production of final products.

• Worm gear

  A worm gear is a screw-rolling gear which transfers the rotational movement of a cylindrical shaft to a rotating gear which is offset by 90°. Snail transmissions allow a particularly high transmission to narrow space and are therefore outstandingly suitable for demanding space conditions. Snail gears work highly precise, are very powerful and in addition are able to reliably compensate for axial offsets. For this reason, the low-noise and insensitive transmissions are used worldwide in demanding applications such as conveyor systems, extrusion machines, separation machines or profile machining machines.
