Turning

In the fastener industry, “turned parts” refer to components that are manufactured using a turning process on a lathe. This process involves rotating material while a cutting tool shapes it into the desired forms. Turning produces parts made to very tight tolerances which can be further adapted by second operation equipment.

Key aspects of turned parts in the fastener industry include:

• Precision: Turning allows for high precision and tight tolerances, which are critical for the reliability and functionality of fasteners.
• Variety: Turned parts can be made from all materials, including steel, aluminium, brass, and stainless steel, catering for all individual application needs.
• Efficiency: CNC (Computer Numerical Control) lathes enhance efficiency by automating the turning process, allowing for high-volume production with consistent quality.

Overall, turned parts are vital in the fastener industry due to their precision, versatility, and the ability to meet specific design and application requirements.
