Turning, is the process used to produce cylindrical components in a lathe. It can be done manually, or using a CNC machine.
When turning, a cylindrical piece of material (wood, metal, etc.) is rotated and a cutting tool is traversed along 2 axes of motion to produce precise diameters and depths. Turning can be either on the outside of the cylinder or on the inside.
German multi-spindle automatic lathe manufacturer Index has introduced a six-spindle CNC machine of 40mm bar capacity to enable the production of a range of mill-turned components.
Manufacturers looking for "affordable cost reduction" for their multi-operation CNC lathe work need look no further than the machines offered at IMTS in Chicago this September by Ganesh Machinery at Booth S-9371.
Since their introduction, a series of two axis turning machines have rapidly established a reputation for advanced technology and high performance combined with exceptional value.
