The advantages of turning and milling combined processing

Turning and milling combined processing is a mechanical processing method. Turning and milling combined processing is not only a combination of two milling processing methods into a machine tool, but also the use of turning and milling combined processing to complete various surface processing. Under the premise that today's numerical control technology has been greatly developed, a new cutting theory and cutting technology has been produced. So what are the advantages of turning-milling combined machining ?

1. Reduce processing time and improve processing accuracy.

The main feature of the combined turning and milling machining is that all five faces can be machined in one clamping . Avoid machining corners. If it is a linked machine tool, the C axis can rotate without restriction, and the A axis can rotate about 130 degrees. The characteristics of these devices can avoid interference during processing. The advantage of this is that the machining can be completed in one clamping, which avoids repeated positioning errors caused by multiple clamping. At the same time, it saves a lot of time and improves work efficiency. It can reduce the time from product to delivery and reduce inventory quantity.

2. Reduce equipment investment costs, reduce floor space, and reduce the number of workshops.

The left and right composite machining tools for turning and milling composite processing usually have T (turning) function, which can be used from lathes to milling machines to vertical grinders . The current vertical grinder equipment is very expensive. By calculating the cost and processing rhythm, it can be found that the five-axis machine tool is more cost-effective. In the past, everyone's production and processing may be based on engineering subdivisions. The problem with this production method is that there is a lot of waiting time that cannot be eliminated. Milling complex processing equipment early commissioning just have to wait time, and with the popularity of a variety of domestic machine simulation software, even if only by importing blank data programming can be done, can greatly reduce the preliminary of the preparatory work. Therefore, the current foreign auto parts and manufacturing are mainly based on five axles.

3. No special fixture is required, and it can be automated.

Another notable feature of the combined turning and milling machining is to reduce the reliance on fixtures. Conventional workpieces can be clamped directly with a three-jaw four-jaw chuck, and irregular workpieces can be clamped with two pins on one side. At the same time, the turning-milling composite machining center can realize factory automation and reduce personnel. For example, handling the joints and bases of robots. In the past, horizontal and vertical machining were used. Now, it runs 24 hours a day without interruption, and this can only be achieved with a turning-milling composite machining center.
