The Influence of Execution Technology on the Precision Turning of Mechanical Parts: Case Study on Manufacturing a Complex Component Using a Three-Axis CNC Lathe with Active Tooling

This paper investigates the impact of execution technology on the turning process of precision mechanical parts, focusing on a case study involving the manufacturing of a complex component using a three-axis CNC lathe with active tooling. Precision turning plays a critical role in the production of parts with strict tolerances and intricate geometries, commonly used in industries such as aerospace and automotive. The study explores the advantages of modern CNC lathes, emphasizing their ability to achieve high accuracy and reduced production times compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the use of active tooling is analysed, highlighting its role in real-time adjustment of cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, which improves the overall efficiency and quality of the turning process. The case study demonstrates the practical application of these technologies in the production of a complex part, with attention to setup, programming, and the impact of real-time adjustments. Results indicate that the CNC lathe with active tooling significantly enhances precision, reduces errors, and allows for faster production cycles. This research underscores the importance of integrating advanced manufacturing technologies in the production of highprecision parts, offering insights into future developments and optimizations for the turning process.
