Benefits & Advantages of Turning & Milling Machine
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is all about greater speed, higher efficiency, and consideration for sustainability. In such a landscape, automation will continue to play a key role in manufacturing activities while modernized, data-driven tools and equipment like CNC Lathes and CNC machining will drive innovation.
What is CNC Turning & Milling Machine？
A CNC turning and milling compound machine tool, also known as a turning and milling compound CNC machine tool or a turning and milling compound CNC lathe, may complete all or most of the processing process on a single card, considerably reducing the length of the product manufacturing process chain. On the one hand, the production auxiliary time caused by the change of loading card is minimized, as is the manufacturing cycle and fixture and fixture waiting time, all of which can enhance production efficiency greatly. A CNC lathe milling compound machine tool is not an exaggeration when it is said to be similar to a production line!
Competitive edge by realizing complex designs, introducing structural benefits, and creating parts that could not be reproduced profitably by any other manufacturing method. On that note, let us take a look at the various advantages offered by precision turned components.
Do you know the outstanding advantages of CNC turning and milling machine?
Complex machining, such as turning and milling, can complete all or most of the processing process at once, considerably reducing the product manufacturing process chain. (1) the production auxiliary time caused by the change of loading card is minimized, as is the manufacturing cycle and fixture and fixture waiting time, all of which can enhance production efficiency greatly. (2) Reduce the number of clamping points and enhance machining precision. The accumulation of errors induced by the transformation of positional data is avoided by reducing loading times.
Compared with the conventional CNC machining process, the outstanding advantages of the mill-turn machine are mainly in the following aspects.
(1) Improve production efficiency by shortening the product manufacturing process chain. A variety of special tools can be installed, resulting in a new type of tool arrangement that reduces tool change time and improves machining efficiency. Additionally, turning and milling machines can use clamping to complete all or part of the machining process, greatly reducing the product manufacturing process chain. On the one hand, this eliminates the production auxiliary time caused by changing the loading card, and on the other hand, it reduces the manufacturing cycle and tooling and fixture waiting time, which can considerably enhance production efficiency.
(2) Improve machining accuracy while reducing clamping times. The accumulation of errors due to the modification of the positional reference is avoided by reducing the number of clamping times. Simultaneously, most contemporary milling and turning equipment has the function of online detection, which can realize the manufacturing process of important data in the location of detection and accuracy control, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the product; high-strength integrated bed design, which improves the gravity of difficult-to-cut material processing capacity; the machine is equipped with automatic feeding device, which can achieve automatic feeding to continuous,
(3) turning and milling machine processing equipment is relatively high, but due to the shortening of the manufacturing process chain and the reduction of the equipment required for the product, as well as the number of fixtures, workshop floor space and equipment maintenance costs are reduced, can effectively reduce the overall investment in fixed assets, production operations and management of cost.
