Turning Machines - The Innovation That Has Changed Manufacturing

Since the Industrial Revolution, turning has been an integral part of the manufacturing process. Turning is defined as the process of removing material from a stationary workpiece using a rotating cutting tool. While traditional turning was done on a lathe, modern turning machines have revolutionized the manufacturing process, allowing for increased precision, efficiency, and consistency.

At Hubei Fotma Machinery Co., Ltd., we understand the importance of turning machines in modern manufacturing. We have been a well-known player in the manufacturing and exporting of a range of materials, including Non-Ferrous Metals, Steel Forging & Casting, Heating Elements, Ceramic Products, Electronic Packaging Materials, and more. Established in 2004, the company has been delivering quality products to customers worldwide.

Turning machines come in many different varieties, including CNC (Computer Numerical Control) lathes, Swiss-style turning machines, multi-spindle machines, and more. These machines have eliminated the need for human intervention in the turning process, making production faster and more precise.

One of the major benefits of turning machines is that they can handle a wide variety of materials, from soft plastics to hard metals. This versatility allows manufacturers to create a wide range of products, from simple bolts to complex aerospace parts.

In addition to versatility, turning machines also offer precision and consistency in manufacturing. With traditional turning, the human operator can make errors in the machining process that can lead to inconsistent products. Modern turning machines, on the other hand, use computer programs to ensure that every product is machined to exact specifications. This level of precision ensures that all products are identical, which is particularly important in industries such as aerospace where even the slightest variation can be dangerous.
