CNC Machining in Türkiye: Turning, Milling and Boring to Drawing

Shafts, bushings, flanges, housings, plates and welded frames machined to your drawing, from one prototype to repeat series. For very heavy parts up to Ø4,200 mm and 12 tonnes, see our large-part machining.

What we machine

Turning, Milling and Boring to Your Drawing

We machine parts from bar, forgings, plate and weldments: drive shafts and rollers, flanges and rings, gear and bearing housings, machine beds and bases. Production data can be a PDF drawing, a STEP model or a DXF. Tolerances follow the drawing, with ISO 286 fits and ISO 2768 general tolerances where specified.

Most of our work is welded first and machined second. Because welding and machining are planned together, machining stock is left at fit-up and datum faces are agreed before cutting starts. The result is a frame or housing that arrives with its mounting faces, bores and bolt circles already in tolerance.

How it runs

Machining After Welding, Step by Step

  1. Plan the datums

    Datum faces and machining stock are agreed during the drawing review, before any plate is cut.

  2. Weld with stock

    The part is welded with extra material on faces and bores that will be machined.

  3. Stress and check

    Large weldments are checked for distortion before they go on the machine.

  4. Machine

    Faces, bores, bolt circles and threads are machined in as few set-ups as possible.

  5. Measure

    Critical dimensions are measured, by CMM where the tolerance needs it.

  6. Protect and pack

    Machined faces are protected, then the part is coated, crated and shipped.

Large parts: our family group’s plant in Kemalpaşa

Parts too large for our own CNC machines are machined at our family group’s heavy-machining plant in Kemalpaşa, İzmir: 1,600 m², vertical turning to Ø4,200 mm, 4,500 mm boring travel and 12 t cranes. Nika Steelworks quotes the order, manages it, inspects the parts and stays your single contact. Large-part machining →

FAQ

Questions About CNC Machining

What is the largest part you can machine?

On our own CNC machines we turn and mill small and medium parts. At the Kemalpaşa plant, vertical turning reaches Ø4,200 mm and 2,500 mm height. Boring and milling travel reaches 4,500 × 2,500 × 2,000 mm, and long-bed turning reaches 6,000 mm length at up to Ø2,400 mm.

Can you machine a part after welding?

Yes, and it is most of our work. Machining stock is planned at fit-up, so faces, bores and bolt circles hold the drawing tolerance after the weld has cooled.

Which tolerances can you hold?

Tolerances follow the drawing, including ISO 286 fits for bearing seats and bores. Tell us the critical dimensions and we confirm the machine and the measuring method.

Which materials do you machine?

Carbon and alloy steels, stainless steel, cast iron, bronze and aluminium.

Do you machine serial parts?

Yes. CNC lathes and machining centres run repeat batches on proven programs and fixtures.

Which files can I send?

PDF drawings, STEP or IGES models and DXF files. A 2D drawing with tolerances is needed for the quotation.

About our machining

Precision and Large-Part CNC Machining in Türkiye

Most of what we machine is small or medium: bushings, shafts, flanges, housings and the faces and bores of welded parts. A three-metre flange, a welded machine bed or a heavy gear housing is machined in Kemalpaşa under the same Nika Steelworks order.

Heavy parts and precision parts

CNC lathes and Taksan machining centres with Fanuc and Siemens controls handle medium and small parts: bushings, covers, plates, fixtures and repeat components. One supplier can deliver both the heavy housing and the small parts that bolt to it.

Welded and machined from one supplier

Because the same team plans both steps, the datum used for welding is the datum used for machining. See welding and fabrication and our precision machined fabrications.

Inspection and delivery

Critical dimensions are measured before packing, by CMM where the tolerance band needs it. Every order ships with EN 10204 3.1 certificates. Parts are painted or galvanized as specified, then crated for road or container transport to Europe.
