The Value of CNC & Manual Turning Equipment

CNC and Manual Turning Equipment are largely utilized for shaping metal by removing unwanted material. This occurs during a machining process where the cutting tool, controlled by a computer or an operator, spins the workpiece on its axis against the tool. It's leveraged to perform various operations including straight and taper turning, facing, grooving, knurling, and more, producing symmetrically round or conical items such as detailed patterns, screws, rods, and more.

Understanding the History of CNC & Manual Turning

The history of CNC & Manual Turning equipment traces back to ancient times with the advent of the lathe, one of the oldest and most important machine tools. Over centuries, the concepts and mechanics behind the lathe have been refined leading to the modern CNC and manual turning equipment. In the mid-20th century, with the introduction of computers and numerical control (NC), lathes evolved into CNC (computer numerical control) turning centers bringing about more precise, efficient, and versatile machining capabilities.
