Understanding the Role of a Machine Shop in Manufacturing

A machine shop is a specialized facility where machining—a form of subtractive manufacturing—takes place. This process involves the use of precision tools to shape, cut, and refine raw materials such as metal, plastic, and composites into accurate parts and components. At Lakeland Manufacturing, a Marmon | Berkshire Hathaway Company, our facility is equipped with advanced machining capabilities, including lathes, milling machines, and drill presses, each playing a critical role in the manufacturing process.

Precision Shaping with Advanced Technology

A CNC turning center operates by rotating the material while precision tools remove excess material to achieve the desired shape. The material is securely held in place by a chuck, which spins at controlled speeds based on machine settings. CNC turning is an advanced evolution of the traditional lathe, one of the oldest and most fundamental methods of part manufacturing. These machines can be configured in horizontal or vertical orientations, and they typically work with round raw materials.

Understanding the Difference Between CNC Turning and Milling

In CNC machining, equipment and tools are operated according to pre-programmed computer software, which controls a variety of complex machinery, including CNC routers, mills, lathes, and grinders. The primary difference between CNC turning and milling lies in the movement of the machine or raw material. In CNC milling, the cutting tools move around the stationary material, offering greater precision and efficiency. In contrast, CNC turning involves stationary tools while the material is rapidly rotated to achieve the desired shape.
