Carousel turning in the CNC industry
Carousel turning, also known as vertical turning, is a CNC machining process in which the workpiece is positioned vertically. This contrasts with traditional horizontal turning. In carousel turning, the workpiece is attached to a horizontal, rotating platform similar to a carousel, hence the name.
The benefits of carousel turning
- Improved accessibility and visibility: The vertical orientation makes it easier for machinists to access and inspect the workpiece during the machining process.
- Efficiency in machining large parts: Due to its vertical orientation and robust setup, carousel lathes are ideal for large and heavy parts that are difficult to handle on traditional lathes.
- High precision and finish quality: The stability and advanced CNC control minimizes vibration, leading to higher precision and better surface finish.
- Versatility: Carousel lathes can be used for a wide range of operations, including turning, drilling, and milling.
The machining process of carousel turning
Rotation of the platform: once the workpiece is attached, the platform begins to rotate. The speed of rotation can be adjusted depending on the material and the operation required.
Use of cutting tools: As the workpiece rotates, a cutting tool moves vertically or horizontally, depending on the operation, to remove material. This tool is controlled by a CNC system, which allows very precise movements.
CNC control: The movements of both the cutting tool and the rotating platform are precisely controlled by CNC programming. This ensures high precision and repeatability in the machining process.
Applications in industry
Carousel turning is widely used in industries such as aerospace, heavy machinery, and power generation. It is particularly useful for machining large, heavy parts such as turbine blades, aircraft parts, and large flanges.
Technology innovations in carousel spin
The CNC industry is constantly evolving, and carousel turning is no exception. Modern carousel lathes are equipped with advanced control systems and software, allowing complex machining with high precision.
