In the course of their professional activities, hundreds of companies feel the need to order metal products of non-standard shapes and sizes. Some clients have drawings, others need the help of engineers to develop them according to a sample, but it is important for everyone to receive high-quality products in a short time and without exorbitant financial costs. Metal processing on a lathe is the optimal way to achieve your goals if Only the work is performed by qualified specialists using the latest generation equipment. Organizations are mainly interested in such services, but there are also orders from individuals. The contractor must be reliable, have extensive experience and guarantee the accuracy of the work - then there will be no complaints about the quality and characteristics of the products. Why is metal turning so popular? How expensive is it to order products on CNC machines? You will find answers to these questions in this review.
How is custom turning work performed?
Using specialized machines, it is possible to produce pins, fittings, shafts, rollers for conveyor belts, fittings, bushings and many other products. Metal turning occurs by carefully removing a layer from workpieces to create products of certain sizes and with the desired degree of roughness. The impact on the base occurs using cutting tools with constant rotation, and the intelligent control system stops the process when the parameters become identical to the specified ones. It is possible to work with different metals, for example, the RHT company, which has been operating on the Ukrainian market for more than 20 years, can create products from aluminum, bronze, steel, titanium, brass, magnesium, and bronze.
The main advantages of metalworking on automatic lathes and CNC machines
The main reason why customers choose this type of processing is high accuracy combined with excellent quality. At the same time, for each client the contractor can offer a personal approach, taking into account his wishes regarding sizes, shapes, surface textures and other characteristics. In addition to this, working on lathes allows you to:
- create products from materials of different densities, including plastic and wood;
- ensure fast execution of large orders;
- minimize costs thanks to innovative technologies;
- create parts for a variety of fields, from agriculture to medicine.
Financial aspect: how much does a metal lathe cost
Despite the numerous advantages of metal turning services, the question remains about the economic feasibility of the order. Much depends on the company's pricing policy. Specialized companies like RHT do not artificially inflate costs, but practice individual calculations. To find out how much you have to spend on metal turning on CNC machines, you need to consider:
- presence or absence of a drawing;
- metal type;
- level of detail complexity;
- order volume - production of large quantities allows you to save on each product;
- additional operations on other types of machines;
- need for electroplating and heat treatment;
- the degree of urgency of order fulfillment.
When you contact a reliable company, the investment will definitely be worth it, because you will receive exactly the products that you need.
