PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

What is CNC Turning?

CNC Turning is a manufacturing process in which bars of material are held in a chuck and rotated while a tool is fed to the piece to remove material to create the desired shape. A turret (shown center), with tooling attached is programmed to move to the bar of raw material and remove material to create the programmed result. This is also called “subtraction machining” since it involves material removal. If the center has both tuning and milling capabilities, such as the one above, the rotation can be stopped to allow for milling out of other shapes.

• The starting material, though usual round, can be other shapes such as squares or hexagons.
• Depending on the bar feeder, the bar length can vary. This affects how much handling is required for volume jobs.
• CNC lathes or turning centers have tooling mounted on a turret which is computer-controlled. The more tools that that the turret can hold, the more options are available for complexities on the part.
• CNC’s with “live” tooling options, can stop the bar rotation and add additional features such as drilled holes, slots and milled surfaces.
• Some CNC turning centers have one spindle, allowing work to be done all from one side, while other turning centers, such as the one shown above, have two spindles, a main and sub-spindle. A part can be partially machined on the main spindle, moved to the sub-spindle and have additional work done to the other side this configuration.
• There are many different kinds of CNC turning centers with various types of tooling options, spindle options, outer diameter limitations as well as power and speed capabilities that affect the types of parts that can be economically made on it.

• Is my part a good fit for CNC turning?

  While a lot of factors go into determining if a part can be made most cost-effectively on a specific CNC turning center, some things we look at are:

• How many parts are needed short-term and long-term? CNC turning centers are generally good for prototypes to short-run volumes.
• What is the largest OD on the part ? For the CNC turning centers at Pioneer Service, the maximum OD for colleted (bar feed-capable) parts is 2.5.”
• Parts over 2.5″ OD are chucked individually, which depending on volume, can contribute to price.
• Parts under 1.25″ OD and medium to high volume may be a better fit for the Swiss screw machines.
• If a part can be made both on the CNC turning center and on a 32 mm Swiss Screw Machine factors such as projected volume and lead-time are critical for making the best call on which to use.

• When it comes to machining parts, there are a lot of variables. Pioneer Service can help you determine the best way to have your parts made. Contact us for help with your requirements.

• The Different Types of Aluminum Grades

  Aluminum is resistant to corrosion and almost maintenance-free. Compared to other metals, it has an unbeatable weight-to-weight ratio and weighs about 1/3 as much as iron, steel, copper, or brass. The aluminum plate has better heat conductivity than any other prevalent metal and provides similar electricity to copper products.

  Since Aluminum is a non-toxic metal, it can be used in machinery for food preparation. It is non-combustible (does not burn) and is reflective in nature, making it appropriate for light installations. Some end uses include transport, food packaging, furnishings, electrical applications, design, design, machinery and equipment for all grades of aluminum.

  Alloy 1100

  This grade is commercially pure aluminum. The material is soft and ductile and has excellent workability, making it suitable for hard-forming applications. It can be welded with any method, but it can not be heat-treated. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is widely used in the chemical and food processing sectors.

  Alloy 2011

  The highlights of this grade are high mechanical strength and outstanding machining skills. It is often referred to as Free Machining Alloy (FMA), an excellent choice for automatic lathes projects. This grade's high-speed machining will generate fine, readily removed chips. Alloy 2011 is an excellent option for the production of complicated and detailed parts.

  Alloy 2014

  A copper-based alloy excellent machining capabilities and high strength. Because of its resistance, this alloy is widely used many structural applications in aerospace.

  Alloy 2024

  One of the most frequently used aluminum alloys of high strength. It is frequently used where an excellent strength-to-weight ratio is desired with its mixture of high strength and outstanding fatigue resistance. This grade can be machined to a high finish, and if necessary, it can be formed with subsequent heat treatment in the annealed condition. The corrosion resistance of this grade is comparatively low. When this is a problem, 2024 is frequently used in an anodized finish or in clad form (thin high purity aluminum surface layer) known as Alclad.

  Alloy 3003

  This is the most widely used of all aluminum alloys. Commercially pure aluminum with added manganese (20% stronger than the 1100 grade) to increase its strength. It has excellent resistance to corrosion and workability. This grade can be deep drawn or spun, welded, or brazed.

  Alloy 5052

  This is the highest strength alloy of the more non-heat-treatable grades. Its resistance to fatigue is better than most grades of aluminum. Alloy 5052 has a good marine atmosphere corrosion resistance of salt water and excellent workability. It can be drawn or formed easily into intricate forms.

  Alloy 6061

  This is the most flexible of the heat-treatable aluminum alloys while maintaining most of the excellent aluminum characteristics. This grade has a wide range of mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion. It can be manufactured using most widely used methods, and it has excellent workability in the annealed condition. It is welded with all techniques and can be brazed with a furnace.

  Alloy 6063

  Commonly referred to as an architectural alloy. It has relatively high tensile properties, outstanding finishing features, and a high level of corrosion resistance. Most often discovered in multiple architectural applications and trimming in the interior and exterior. It is very suitable for anodized applications. The forms of the tube and angle typically have square corners in this grade.

  Alloy 7075

  This is one of the aluminum alloys with the highest strength available. It has an excellent weight-to-strength ratio and is ideal for highly stressed parts. In the annealed condition, this grade can be formed and heat treated if necessary. It can also be welded place or flash (not recommended for arc and gas).
