Economic and flexible Turning Solutions – on time, every time.

What is CNC turning?

CNC turning is a high-precision machining process used to create custom parts and components with exceptional accuracy and consistency. This computer-controlled technique is widely used across industries, working with materials such as aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel, and mild steel.

At ANR, we specialise in CNC turning for high-precision manufacturing, delivering flawless, repeatable components tailored to exact specifications.

How Does CNC Turning Work?

The CNC turning process involves securing a raw material inside a chuck and rotating it at high speed. A computer-controlled cutting tool then precisely removes material to shape the component.

This method allows for a variety of cutting techniques, including:

Straight Cutting – Creating uniform edges and surfaces.
Tapered & Contour Cutting – Crafting complex profiles and curved surfaces.
Drilling & Threading – Adding internal features for assembly.
Knurling & Grooving – Enhancing grip and function for mechanical parts.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) ensures automated, repeatable machining, minimising errors and maximising efficiency.

Why Choose CNC Turning?

CNC turning is an indispensable process for industries requiring high-quality, consistent parts. Here’s why it’s the preferred choice:

Exceptional Precision – Achieves tolerances within microns, ensuring parts fit perfectly every time.

High-Speed Production – Once programmed, CNC lathes produce components rapidly and accurately.

FAQs: CNC Turning Explained

What is CNC turning used for? - CNC turning is used to manufacture cylindrical components, such as shafts, bushings, connectors, and mechanical parts, with high precision.

What materials can be machined with CNC turning? - We work with aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel, plastics, and more, depending on your project needs.

How does CNC turning differ from CNC milling? - CNC turning rotates the material while the cutting tool remains stationary, whereas CNC milling keeps the material stationary while the cutting tools move.

What industries benefit from CNC turning? - Industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, and industrial manufacturing rely on CNC turning for high-precision components.

How precise is CNC turning? - ANR’s CNC turning process achieves micron-level accuracy, ensuring tight tolerances and flawless repeatability.
