Polygon turning is the process of machining a workpiece, typically made of metal, into a polygonal shape using a lathe or turning machine. The process involves the removal of material from the workpiece, which is rotated against a cutting tool to create a series of flat surfaces that form the sides of the polygon and GN Surgicals offers best of it.

The number of sides on the polygon will depend on the number of cuts made by the cutting tool. For example, a six-sided polygon will require six cuts, while an eight-sided polygon will require eight cuts. The cuts will be made at equal intervals around the circumference of the workpiece to ensure that the sides of the polygon are uniform in shape and size.

Overall, we offer a cost-effective and flexible solution for outsourcing precision metal part production. By partnering with us, you can ensure high-quality parts and efficient production processes without the need for expensive equipment and infrastructure.

Top 5 Features of Polygon Turning

1. PT enables the machining of non-circular profiles (e.g., hexagons, squares) without indexing or secondary operations.
2. It allows for faster production and precise geometry, especially for symmetrical polygons on rotating parts.
3. Requires a polygon turning attachment or synchronized motion between the tool and workpiece spindles.
4. Since shapes like flats or multi-sided forms can be turned directly, no need for milling or indexing, reducing cycle time.
5. Highly efficient for producing repeatable, uniform polygonal shapes in high-volume manufacturing environments (e.g., nuts, bolt heads, hydraulic fittings).
