Using American Valmark for CNC Turning Services

American Valmark CNC turning services in Texas are well suited for any size job from prototypes to short runs and high-volume production projects. Many of our customers rely on our extensive experience and versatile machining knowledge to develop and optimize prototypes for manufacturability and can lean on us when it is time to ramp up to full-scale production. Our advanced CNC lathes are designed to handle small to medium-sized components that are measured based on the outer diameter of the stock material. Additionally, we do have the necessary equipment and experience to complete CNC turning services on larger-diameter parts. While all customers can expect to receive high-quality parts at fast turnaround times and competitive prices, there are several additional benefits to choosing American Valmark as your provider of CNC turning services in Texas.

Advantages of CNC Turning

  • Accuracy: CNC turning utilizes precision computer control to direct the spin rate, cutting tool placement, and monitor chip evacuation to produce extremely accurate and precise components following your specifications. Complex OD profiles, threads, bores, grooves, channels, and holes are all efficiently and accurately machined with CNC turning. 
  • Flexible Approach: CNC turning is an extremely versatile operation on its own, but can be combined with CNC milling or other machining operations to meet a wide variety of complex geometries, angles, and designs like neck or relief grooves. Additionally, as CNC turning equipment offers greater material flexibility and can deliver optimal results on plastics, alloys, and rare metals. 
  • Increased Throughput: Although not a major concern for prototyping or low-volume machining projects, CNC turning services are an excellent option for increasing the throughput for high-volume jobs without sacrificing quality. Considering CNC turning machines follow a precise set of computer instructions and can automatically feed material, we can produce more finished components in less time than alternative machining methods.
  • Minimize Material Loss: With every step controlled and the possibility of human error greatly reduced, CNC turning minimizes material loss and helps constrain overall project costs, especially on unique or specialty projects that require high-cost materials.

Comparing CNC Turning to CNC Milling

Although both CNC turning and CNC milling have their distinct advantages, there are three basic differences between the two machining processes that ultimately determine which is better suited to machine your component specifications. 

  • Component Shape: The primary difference between CNC turning and CNC milling is the actual shape of the machined component. Turning is ideal for cylindrical components that require a high degree of precision and symmetry. Milling can be utilized for a wide variety of part shapes and sizes but still delivers extreme precision and quality. 
  • Component Size: American Valmark CNC turning services in Texas are incredibly versatile and can turn components of virtually any size. Our milling equipment can delicately remove fractions of an inch from small components to larger components that require a more aggressive turning solution.
  • Cutting Method: CNC turning spins the workpiece at variable speeds as the stationary cutting tool moves along and completes the intended design. CNC milling uses a spinning cutting tool to complete the machining process while the workpiece remains stationary, making it suitable for components of varying widths and lengths.

Applications of CNC Turning

As a subtractive process, CNC turning is one of the most common manufacturing techniques used today and progressively removes unwanted material from a stock piece of material that is typically cylindrical in shape. We offer CNC turning services in Texas to customers looking for fast turnaround and a high production volume of high-quality components with smooth finishes.

American Valmark’s CNC turning services in Texas encompass a variety of unique operations that have proven benefits for countless industries. We may perform multiple different operations on the same part to improve the machinability of your components, increase throughput, and drive down costs. Some of the most common machining operations completed with CNC turning are facing, turning, drilling, boring, threading, grooving, and knurling.
