What is CNC Turn Mill Center 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.

As the name implies, CNC Turn Mill Center Machining is a composite machine tool that includes all the functional characteristics of CNC lathes and CNC milling. Its functions include turning and milling, turning and grinding, and milling and grinding. 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 the processing efficiency and processing accuracy.

Because it combines the characteristics of the CNC lathe into one machine, it greatly reduces the floor space and reduces the 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.CNC turn mill center machining become very popular nowdays.

Advantages of CNC turn mill center machining?

The CNC turning and milling compound lathe is the fastest growing and most widely used CNC equipment among the CNC lathe compound machining lathes. Compounding of lathe processing is one of the important directions for the development of CNC machine tools. The purpose of compounding is to make a lathe with multi-functionality, which can complete multiple tasks in one clamping, and improve the processing power and processing accuracy.

Compared with the ordinary CNC lathe processing technology, the more prominent performance advantages of the turning-milling lathe are as follows:

(1) It can reduce the floor space and reduce the production cost
Because the functions of multiple CNC machine tools are integrated into one machine tool, the utilization of space utilization is improved, and the reasonable layout design is more convenient to use and maintain.

Although the unit price of a turn-milling compound processing equipment is relatively high, it saves production Time and multiple uses of one machine reduce the purchase of other equipment, which can reduce the number of fixtures, plant floor space and equipment maintenance costs, and enterprises can also reduce the investment in all fixed assets.

Secondly, the production cost savings of CNC turning-milling compound center lathe products can also be seen. The compact design improves the use of the site, and it can be more convenient in maintenance. The equipment price is higher, but the manufacturing process and the reduction of the equipment and maintenance expenses required for instant flattening can play a good cost control.

(2) Shorten the product manufacturing process chain and greatly improve the product production efficiency.

The CNC turning and milling compound center can be set with a variety of tool head fixtures and tool rest systems, which can reduce the tool change time during production, improve the efficiency of processing and production, and shorten the product manufacturing process chain.

Sneak CNC Technology is the company’s main products based on shaft processing, lead screw, rotation, CNC lathe processing, and chuck joints, which reduces the processing preparation time caused by the modification of the card, and also reduces the tooling fixture. Loading cycle and waiting time, production efficiency can be significantly improved.

In terms of processing power of CNC turning-milling compound center, the new CNC turning-milling compound center can load more customized machining tools. The tool arrangement is completely different from that of traditional CNC machining machines. It can realize automatic tool change, reduce tool change time, and improve processing. power.

(3) Reduce the number of manual clamping and improve the machining accuracy

The reduction in set-up times prevents tolerance build-up due to positioning datum conversions. Most of the current turning-milling composite processing equipment is equipped with the function of online detection, which can detect and control the position of important data in the manufacturing process, and then process the processing accuracy of the product;

the integrated high-strength design of the bed can improve the The gravity processing ability of difficult-to-cut materials is improved; the CNC turning-milling lathe of Sneak can be equipped with automatic feeding equipment, which can realize automatic feeding and realize the assembly line operation of a single lathe.

During turning and milling, the tool performs continuous cutting, and a relatively short cutting can be obtained for workpieces formed of any material. Because of the inclined bed design, automatic chip removal can be realized. And continuous chipping can allow the tool to have sufficient time to cool, reduce the thermal deformation of the workpiece, and improve the service life of the tool.

Compared with the traditional CNC lathe, the turning and milling process has a higher speed, the quality of the cut product is better, and the cutting force is reduced, the precision of the thin-walled rod and the slender rod is advanced, and the workpiece forming quality is high.

Because the cutting speed can be decomposed into the rotation speed of the workpiece and the rotation speed of the tool, according to the mechanical characteristics, the same processing effect can be achieved by advancing the rotation speed of the tool and decreasing the rotation speed of the workpiece.

It is useful, because the reduction of the speed of the forging blank can eliminate the oscillation caused by the eccentricity of the workpiece or the periodic change of the radial cutting force, and then ensure the smooth cutting of the workpiece and reduce the errors in the machining of the workpiece.

When the Sneak turning-milling compound lathe is processing the workpiece, the low speed of the workpiece can effectively reduce the centrifugal force of the workpiece, prevent the workpiece from deforming, and improve the machining accuracy of the parts.

Sneak CNC Technology is the company’s main products based on rotary top, screw, shaft processing, CNC lathe processing, tool shank toolholders, and chuck joints. The use of large longitudinal feed in turning and milling can also obtain accurate precision. Cutting, the surface roughness can also be effectively guaranteed. The turning and milling compound lathe can complete the processing of the workpiece by different methods such as turning, milling, drilling, and boring.
