CNC Turning

The impressive range of CNC Turning Lathes we currently have, which are listed below, enable us to explore new concepts, develop groundbreaking methods and take on the most demanding of CNC Turning Services. Here at ENGFIRM, we operate a ‘can do’ culture and are always ready to take on new challenges. Within our machine list, there are many other features which further enhance the capabilities of our work. These features enable us to offer enhanced services include:

• The use of a wide range of anti-vibration boring bars which can be employed with lathes to bore holes of diameters varying from 16mm to 120mm, and reaching depths up to 1.3m. Using these we can achieve tight limits (typically holding 0.025mm limit) and good surface finishes within the finished bore.

• The capability to roller burnish bores up to a depth of 3 metres.

• The ability to machine component lengths up to approximately 6 metres. The maximum distance between centres is usually 4 metres but by using hollow spindles we are able to machine component lengths beyond this.

CNC Turning is a detailed method of creating custom parts using a lathe which is one of the oldest running CNC Machining tools with the method dating back to ancient Egypt. With modern technology, CNC Turning has become more precise. This process is able to secure and rotate material with dual axis moving at high speeds to ensure a fast turnaround. The lathe is controlled by a computer program, hence the name – Computer Numerical Control.
