CNC Turning with KIXENER

CNC turning is a subtractive process where a rotating workpiece is shaped by a stationary cutting tool. It is ideal for cylindrical parts such as shafts, bushings, pins, and threaded components.

With live tooling and multi-axis lathes, KIXENER can also machine flats, slots, holes, and complex features in a single setup—reducing lead time and improving concentricity.

FAQ

CNC turning rotates the workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to create precise cylindrical geometries, threads, grooves, and contours.

We combine multi-axis lathes, strict QC, fast lead times, and engineering support to deliver reliable prototypes and production parts.

Standard tolerances are typically ±0.05 mm, with high-precision options down to ±0.005–0.01 mm depending on geometry and material.

Aluminum, steel, stainless, brass, copper, titanium, and engineering plastics such as POM, Nylon, PEEK, and PTFE.
