The primary function of a CNC turning center is to rotate material while the machine’s tools precisely remove excess material to shape it as required. A component known as the “chuck” secures the material in place, enabling it to spin at various speeds based on the machine’s settings.
CNC turning represents an evolution of one of the oldest and most fundamental methods of part manufacturing—the lathe. These machines are available in both horizontal and vertical configurations, and they typically work with round raw materials.
