GUIDE TO YOUR MECHANICAL
COMPONENT
Which manufacturing method is really best for your component and what type of supplier do you really need? Product development can be a jungle, which is why we at Turnab have produced this guide. To facilitate the work for you, so you can make the right decision for your purposes.
Almost everything mechanically needs round details to be able to function. Manufacturing / processing round details by hand is next to impossible. Therefore, you need machines that can manufacture round cylindrical units with high precision.
CNC machining is a digital manufacturing method that can produce high-precision products in thousands of millimeters.
The word processing refers to how to refine raw materials into a finished geometric component such as:
REFINE
"Make more valuable"
By refining, the properties of the raw material are changed.
For example change the shape

WHAT DOES CNC PROCESSING MEAN?
CNC
Computer
numerical control ”
- The machine's language is called G-code and tells the machine where it should move, how fast it should move and which path it should follow.
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and is the control system itself in an industrial machine. The computer automates the processes and manufactures components from a 3D model of a drawing, so-called CAD.
The computer gives coordinates to the machine which then creates details almost identical to the drawing.
Thanks to the fact that CNC machines are so automated, details are produced at very competitive prices from prototypes to medium-sized volumes.
WE TURN IN YOUR DIRECTION
Do you ever wonder how things around society are actually done?
Take an example like your car. There are over a thousand components in a car that has to work together, so that it can take you to your destination. All parts of the car must not only be able to cooperate, but also be interchangeable. In case any of them break. To be able to make several copies of each component then they must be almost identical, which requires enormous precision.
In this part, we find out what machines are required to create these precision components. How do they work? What different types of machines are there? And what are the substitutes for these machines?
Part 1: The basics
A CAR CONTAINS ABOUT 4000 COMPONENTS & CONSISTS OF MAJORITY OF STEEL
Almost everything materials can be machined in a CNC machine, but the most common are metals and non-metals such as:
