CNC Lathe & Turning Machine Suppliers in Adelaide

A computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathe is a machine that rotates a workpiece against a stationary cutter to remove material in a circular path. CNC Lathes are ideal for machining parts that are symmetrical and require a high quality finish. The lathe is controlled by design instructions inputted by an operator through the machine’s software. This allows a computer model to be transformed into a physical part.  

CNC lathes have numerous benefits when compared to traditional manual machines. First, they remove human error during the machining process, resulting in less wasted material. CNC lathes also improve manufacturing times as one operator is able to monitor multiple machines at once. 

The high precision cutting technology produces repeatable results and the machines are able to operate for extended periods of time without pause making them ideal for mass production. CNC lathe machines are used to produce a variety of products across a range of industries such as pipes, bolts, shafts, tools, pistons, automotive frames, surgical instruments and gears.
