CNC turning

CNC turning is one of the most advanced technologies in the field of machining. Robofeed offers state-of-the-art solutions to optimise and automate this process, guaranteeing precision, efficiency and reduced production times.

What is CNC turning?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) turning is a machining process in which a workpiece is rotated on an axis while one or more tools remove material to obtain the desired shape.

Through integration with CNC systems, the control is managed by software, ensuring high precision and repeatability in the process. CNC turning is distinguished by its ability to work on a wide range of materials, such as:

  • metals
  • plastics
  • special alloys

ensuring versatility in various industrial applications.

What is CNC turning used for?

The CNC turning process is essential for creating extremely precise cylindrical or conical components. It is used in the production of crankshafts, screws, gears and other mechanical parts requiring close tolerance and high quality surface finish.

CNC automation minimises human error, increasing overall quality and productivity, particularly in industries where precision and repeatability are critical.

The benefits of CNC turning

  • HIGH PRECISION AND REPETITIBILITY
    Thanks to computerised control, CNC turning ensures tight tolerances and consistent quality on every part produced, reducing errors and defects.
  • PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
    CNC technology automates much of the process, reducing machining time and improving productivity. With the integration of Robofeed, machine downtime is minimised, increasing overall efficiency.
  • VERSATILITY OF MATERIALS
    CNC turning is suitable for a wide range of materials, from metals to plastics. This makes the process flexible for numerous industrial applications, allowing customised machining for every need.

How to optimize the process?

To optimise the CNC turning process, it is essential to choose high quality tools and, above all, to accurately program the machining parameters, such as speed, feed rate and depth of cut.

The automation proposed by RoboFeed makes it possible to reduce tool change times and speed up the production cycle by introducing customised robot islands that guarantee perfect synergy between the machine tool and the robot system.

Our integrated technology easily adapts to existing CNC machines, allowing for optimised fleet management, with an overall improvement in production efficiency.

The integration of advanced CNC systems with machine tools enables constant monitoring and optimization of the process, ensuring high-quality results.

Industrial applications

Applications of CNC turning in the metalworking industry include:

CERMA

Winning example of optimisation with RoboFeed systems is Cerma S. r.l. of Reggio Emilia, where the integration of a custom solution allowed the two existing machining centres to drastically reduce the cycle time from 90‘ to 60’.

RoboFeed services

We provide our customers with customised solutions to meet all kinds of needs in CNC turning processes.

Customised and branded RoboFeed Custom solutions, such as a customised cell with Fanuc M20Id/25 anthropomorphic robot for servicing CNC machine tools, integrated with a six-storey, two-zone, custom-built shelf warehouse. This ensures operator-side loading/unloading of unmachined/machined parts without interrupting the machining cycle. The configuration can also include specific internal spindle blowing equipment to allow the elimination of chips inside the workpiece before unloading and ensure maximum production quality.

We also design custom solutions for CNC milling and turning needs, designing versatile and efficient machining centers.

RoboFeed is your company's innovation solution.
