What are the advantages of CNC turning centers for manufacturing complex parts and prototypes?

What are examples of parts made using CNC turning centers?

Here are just a few examples of the many types of components made with multi-axis CNC turning centers:

  • Splined shafts
  • Helical gears
  • Rotors
  • Screws, bolts, specialty fittings
  • Axles and drivetrain components
  • Actuator rods
  • Pistons, cylinders and hydraulic components
  • Bushings and rollers

Virtually any product with a central axis of rotation can be made via CNC turning.

Key features of these machines include:

  • The ability to perform both CNC turning and CNC milling in a single setup.
  • High tolerance precision.
  • Superior surface finish.
  • Complex geometric capabilities.
  • Versatility in material compatibility.
  • Bar feeding systems for uninterrupted production.

By utilizing multi-axis CNC turning centers, the efficiency of high-speed, digital manufacturing for custom rapid prototypes and production parts can be dramatically increased. For this reason, RIX Manufacture has invested in dozens of imported horizontal and vertical milling centers, as well as high-precision lathes (from Beijing Jingdiao).
