CNC turning is a precision machining process where a rotating metal bar is shaped using cutting tools to produce cylindrical components with extremely tight tolerances.
Sliding head turning is a specialised form of CNC turning designed for machining small to medium sized, highly precise components, where the bar material moves through a guide bush while machining takes place.
Common materials include:
Stainless steel
Aluminium
Brass
Carbon steel
Alloy steels
Each material is selected based on the performance requirements of the final component.
Technoset’s turning capabilities range from 0.4mm up to 64mm diameter, with billeting capacity up to 220mm diameter depending on the machining process used.
Yes. Technoset supports projects ranging from one-off prototype components to production runs of thousands of parts.
At Technoset, quality is built into every stage of our manufacturing process. From the moment raw materials arrive through to final inspection and delivery, our systems are designed to ensure consistent accuracy, full traceability and reliable performance.
Operating to AS9100 Rev D aerospace quality standards and BS EN ISO 9001, our comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) integrates quality assurance across every department. This structured, process-driven system allows us to maintain strict control over production while continuously improving our processes and performance.
As a make-to-print manufacturer, every component we produce is manufactured to the exact specifications defined by our customers. In the rare event of an issue, our team conducts detailed root cause analysis and process capability monitoring, ensuring improvements are implemented to maintain the highest standards of quality, cost efficiency and delivery reliability.
Our dedicated inspection team uses a wide range of precision metrology equipment to verify component accuracy and ensure every part meets the required tolerances.
Our inspection capability includes:
These systems enable our engineers to verify components down to micron-level precision, ensuring repeatability and compliance with the most demanding engineering specifications.
