01、Definition of turning and milling compound

At present, most of the turn-milling composite machining is completed on the turning center, and the general turning center is only to replace the ordinary turret tool holder of the CNC lathe with a power tool holder, and the spindle increases the C-axis function. Due to the limitations of turret tool structure and size, the power of the power head is small, the speed is not high, and the larger tool can not be installed. This turning center is mainly based on the car, and the milling and drilling function is only to do some auxiliary processing. The power tool holder is expensive, resulting in the high cost of the turning center, the domestic price is generally more than 100,000, imported more than 200,000, the average user can not afford. Most of the economical turn-milling complexes are XZC axes, which add a rotating C-axis on the chuck to achieve basic milling functions.

At present, there are many kinds of equipment in the market of milling composite machining center, WFL, DMG, Dalian machine tool, Taiwan Taiyu precision machine,DOOSAN(Doosan machine tool), all have this high-end equipment; At present, the market milling complex more well-known software edgecam, UG NX and so on.

02、Advantages of Turning and Milling Composite

Compared with conventional CNC machining technology, the outstanding advantages of composite machining are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

(1) Shorten the product manufacturing process chain and improve production efficiency. Turn-milling composite machining can achieve a single load to complete all or most of the processing processes, thus greatly shortening the product manufacturing process chain. On the one hand, this reduces the production auxiliary time caused by the change of the loading card, and also reduces the manufacturing cycle and waiting time of the tooling and fixture, which can significantly improve production efficiency.

(2) Reduce the number of clamping and improve the processing accuracy. The reduction of loading times avoids the accumulation of errors caused by the conversion of positioning reference. At the same time, most of the current turn-milling complex processing equipment has the function of online detection, which can realize the in-place detection and precision control of the key data in the manufacturing process, so as to improve the processing accuracy of the product.

(3) Reduce the footprint and reduce production costs. Although the single price of turning and milling composite processing equipment is relatively high, due to the shortening of the manufacturing process chain and the reduction of the equipment required for the product, as well as the reduction of the number of fixtures, workshop area and equipment maintenance costs, it can effectively reduce the overall fixed assets investment, production operation and management costs.

03、Application Range of Turning and Milling Compound
