Custom Complex CNC Turned Parts
At Polestar, we understand that it is essential to meet the
technical specifications of customers’ orders in an accurate and
timely manner. To do so, we use ISO standard inspection techniques
and provide Computer Measuring Machine (CMM) reports for our
customers’ review. Additionally, our team runs thorough dimensional
inspections on the manufactured parts to ensure each piece is
error-free. We can also offer either a 2D or 3D scan depending on
the customer's Computer-Aided Design requirements. To further
ensure top quality metal parts, excellent raw materials are used
therefore only reliable CNC turning techniques are applied.
Nevertheless, we maintain the highest safety and quality standards
set by ISO9001-2015 when producing CNC turned parts in high volume
quantities.
HOW ARE CNC TURNED COMPONENTS MADE?
CNC turned components are manufactured using computer numerical
control (CNC) machining processes, specifically CNC turning. CNC
turning is a subtractive manufacturing process that creates
cylindrical or round-shaped components by removing material from a
workpiece. Here’s an overview of how CNC turned components are
made:
DESIGN AND CAD/CAM PROGRAMMING
The process begins with the design of the component. Engineers or
designers create a detailed CAD (ComputerAided Design) model of the
part they want to produce. Once the CAD model is complete, CAM
(ComputerAided Manufacturing) software generates the CNC program to
control the machining process. This program contains instructions
for the CNC machine on moving the cutting tools to shape the
workpiece.
MATERIAL SELECTION, WORKPIECE, AND TOOLING SETUP
The next step is to select the appropriate material for the CNC
turned component. Common materials include metals like aluminum,
steel, brass, and plastics. A raw material, known as a workpiece or
blank, is secured in the CNC lathe machine’s chuck or collet. The
chuck holds the workpiece in place while it rotates. The CNC
machine has various cutting tools, drills, and inserts. The
appropriate tooling is selected and installed in the tool turret or
toolpost of the CNC lathe.
CNC MACHINING
The CNC program is loaded into the machine’s computer, and the
machining process begins. The workpiece rotates while the cutting
tool moves along its length to remove material and create the
desired shape. CNC turning machines can perform various operations,
including facing, drilling, threading, grooving, and contouring.
The CNC machine’s computerized control system precisely coordinates
the movements of the tool, ensuring high accuracy and
repeatability.
QUALITY CONTROL AND SECONDARY OPERATIONS
During the machining process, operators may periodically measure
the dimensions of the workpiece using precision instruments like
micrometers and calipers to ensure it meets the design
specifications. Visual inspection is also performed to check for
surface finish and any defects.
Depending on the specific requirements of the component, secondary
operations such as heat treatment, plating, or coating may be
performed after CNC turning to enhance its properties or
appearance.
