What is turn milling compound machining?

Then with the increasing number of types of CNC lathes, the names of many lathes gradually become difficult to understand. Next, let's understand what is CNC turning and milling. Before understanding CNC turning and milling, we must first understand it separately. CNC lathe and CNC milling machine, see what kind of difference they have before.

A CNC lathe refers to a machine tool that mainly uses a CNC lathe tool to turn a rotating workpiece. Generally, it means that the tool of the lathe is fixed at a specific position on the machine tool, and the workpiece rotates along the axis under the clamping of the fixture, and is cut when it is close to the knife edge, so it is mainly suitable for processing shafts, discs, sleeves and Other workpieces with a reversed appearance are the most widely used type of machine tools in machine manufacturing and repair shops. Common CNC milling machines and drilling machines and other rotary processing machines are derived from CNC lathes. Its processing principle is that the workpiece is rotating and the tool is fixed.

CNC milling machine refers to a machine tool that mainly uses milling cutters to process various surfaces on the workpiece. Its performance is that the rotary motion of the milling cutter is the main motion, and the workpiece and the milling cutter can move as the feed motion. That is to say, its object is fixed at a certain position of the machine tool, and the milling cutter rotates at a high speed under the clamping of the fixture. When touching the workpiece, it can process planes and grooves on its surface, and can also process various curved surfaces, gears and other CNC milling machines. It is a machine that uses a milling cutter to mill a workpiece. It can process planes (horizontal planes, vertical planes), grooves (keyways, T-shaped grooves, dovetail grooves, etc.), toothed parts (gears, spline shafts, chains, etc.) Round shape, spiral surface (thread, spiral groove) and various curved surfaces. In addition, it can also be used to process the surface of the reversed body, the inner hole and cut off operations, etc. Because of the multi-tool intermittent cutting, the productivity of the CNC milling machine is Higher, the processing principle of CNC milling machine is that the workpiece is fixed and the tool is rotating.

Turning and milling compound machining

As the name implies, CNC turning and milling is a composite machine tool that includes all the functional characteristics of CNC lathes and CNC milling machines. Its functions include turning and milling, turning and milling, and milling and milling. The purpose of the composite is to make a machine The machine tool has multiple functions. It can complete multiple tasks in one clamping and improve processing efficiency and processing accuracy. Because it combines the characteristics of CNC lathes into one machine, it greatly reduces the floor space and reduces the cost of rent and other funds. cost. Although the unit price of CNC turning and milling is relatively high, because it can shorten the manufacturing process chain and the number of fixtures, workshop area and reduce equipment maintenance costs, it can also effectively reduce the overall fixed assets from the perspective of enterprise investment. Invest, significantly reduce the cost of production operations and management of personnel and equipment
