Turning involves fixing the workpiece on a rotating workpiece clamping device and then using a cutting tool to gradually cut the material on the workpiece to achieve the desired shape and size. This processing method is suitable for manufacturing cylindrical parts, such as shafts and sleeves. The method of turning and the selection of cutting tools affect the shape and surface roughness of the final product.
Turning can be classified into different types, including external cylindrical turning, internal cylindrical turning, planar turning, thread turning, etc.
Cylindrical turning is typically used for processing shapes such as shafts, cylinders and cones. In internal cylindrical turning, the cutting tool enters the inner hole of the workpiece and processes the diameter and surface of the inner hole to the required dimensions and precision. Turning planes is typically used to create smooth surfaces, such as the base or end face of a part. Turning threads is a process that gradually cuts out the shape of threads by moving the cutting edge of the tool relative to the surface of the workpiece, including internal and external threads.
The selection of an appropriate process depends on the material, shape, size and surface requirements of the part. If you want to know more, please click here
