CNC Turning

CNC Turning

CNC turning is ideal for producing round or tubular components by rotating the workpiece while cutting tools remove material. This process ensures excellent concentricity, smooth surface finishes, and repeatable accuracy. ODM PARTS combines CNC turning with secondary operations such as drilling, tapping, and milling to deliver complete, ready-to-use parts.

Swiss Lathe

Swiss Lathe Turning

Swiss lathe turning (Swiss-type CNC machining) is designed for small-diameter, high-precision components. Unlike conventional lathes, the material is supported close to the cutting point, significantly reducing deflection and enabling extremely tight tolerances. ODM PARTS’ Swiss lathe capabilities allow us to meet the most demanding requirements in precision manufacturing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Turning At ODM PARTS

What is CNC turning and when should it be used?

CNC turning is a machining process where the workpiece rotates while cutting tools remove material. It is best suited for cylindrical or round parts such as shafts, bushings, pins, and threaded components that require high concentricity and smooth surface finishes.

What is the difference between CNC turning and Swiss lathe turning?

Conventional CNC turning is ideal for standard cylindrical parts, while Swiss lathe turning is designed for small-diameter, long, or highly complex parts. Swiss machines support the material close to the cutting area, allowing tighter tolerances and greater precision for micro and slender components.

What tolerances can ODM PARTS achieve with CNC turning?

ODM PARTS typically achieves tolerances of ±0.005 mm, depending on part geometry, material, and machining method. Swiss lathe turning can achieve even tighter tolerances for small and precision-critical components.

What materials are suitable for CNC turning and Swiss lathe machining?

We machine a wide range of materials, including aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, and engineering plastics such as POM, ABS, Nylon, and PEEK. Material recommendations can be provided based on your application.

Can ODM PARTS handle both prototyping and high-volume production?

Yes. ODM PARTS supports CNC turning projects from rapid prototyping and low-volume batches to high-volume production. Our Swiss lathe machines are especially efficient for large quantities of small, high-precision parts.

What information is needed to get a CNC turning quote?

To receive an accurate quote, please provide 3D drawings (STEP, IGES) or detailed 2D drawings, along with material requirements, quantities, tolerances, and any surface finishing needs. Our team will respond quickly with a competitive quotation.
