What Are the Advantages of Turn-milling Processing?

CNC milling is a mechanical process that produces custom-designed parts or assemblies by progressively removing material from a workpiece using rotating multipoint cutting tools and computer control. These systems typically have three linear degrees of freedom. They can move freely around the X, Y, and Z axes while the workpiece remains stationary. This limited dimensional operation reduces operating speed and makes milling more suitable for prototyping and smaller production runs.

Applications of CNC Milling

CNC milling production capabilities include a range of processes such as

Chemical

Electrical

Mechanical

Thermal

CNC milling machines offer superior material savings efficiency, thereby reducing material costs over the life of the machine. CNC milling machines manufacture products such as complex short run production parts, precision components, and prototype parts.

CNC turning lathes, on the other hand, are used to conduct operations such as:

Boring

Drilling

Facing

Grooving

Knurling

Parting

CNC milling and turning are used in a number of industries, including:

Woodworking

Electrical industry

Electrical discharge machining (EDM)

Metal removing (in automotive or manufacturing)

Material fabrication

Compound machining is the realization of several different machining processes on just one machine. It is widely used around the world. Turn-milling compound machining is actually equivalent to the combination of a CNC lathe and CNC machining center. 

What is Turn-milling compound machining?

Turn-milling is a kind of machining service. It is not simply a combination of turning and milling into one machine tool, but the use of turning and turn-milling synthetic motion to complete the processing of various surfaces. In fact, it is a new cutting theory and technology under the great development of numerical control technology.

What are the advantages of turn-milling processing？

Compared with other ordinary machining, it has incomparable advantages over turn-milling. Let us share with you the following.

First of all, it reduces the number of clamping times and improves machining accuracy.

The reduction of clamping times avoids the accumulation of errors caused by the change of positioning reference. At the same time, most of the current turn-milling compound processing equipment has online inspection function, which can realize the on-site inspection and precision control of key data in the manufacturing process. thereby improving the machining accuracy of products.

The high-strength integrated bed design improves the gravity processing capability of difficult-to-cut materials. The machine is equipped with automatic feeding device. Automatic feeding enables continuous and basic line operation of single machine line operation.

Secondly, it reduces the machine footprint and saves machining costs.

The compact and beautiful shape design improves the way of space utilization. It achieves easier maintenance and repair. It gives customers the greatest satisfaction.     

Although the unit price of this type of equipment is relatively high. However, we will reduce the related cost in other ways. For example, shorter manufacturing process chain, less equipment required for the product, fewer jigs and fixtures, less workshop area, and fewer equipment maintenance costs. 

Third, we can reduce the number of product machining processes and increase machining efficiency.

We can install various special tools on the turn-milling compound machines. The new tool layout helps to reduce tool change time. This improves processing efficiency.

With this equipment, all or most of the processing procedures can be completed with only one clamping. Secondary processing is not necessary or less. Thus, the product manufacturing process chain is significantly shortened. This not only reduces the auxiliary time for production but also reduces manufacturing cycle time and waiting time. Finally, machining efficiency is increased.

There are a number of turn-Milling compound machines available in the factory, and they can help us speed up production and reduce purchasing costs for you.

Turn-Milling compound machining is increasingly important in current industrial manufacturing, especially in the medical field and aerospace. It has the superiority that other machining methods cannot be compared. With the function of turning and milling, it can realize the processing idea of turning and milling in one clamping.
