The difference between turn-milling compound and CNC lathe
Differences between CNC lathe and turn-milling compound:
1. CNC lathe refers to the machine tool that mainly uses the tool of CNC lathe to turn the rotating workpiece. Generally, it refers to 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 edge of the tool. Therefore, it is mainly applicable to machining the shaft, disc, sleeve and other workpiece with reverse appearance, and is the most widely used type of machine tool in the machinery manufacturing and repair factory. Common CNC milling machines, drilling machines and other rotating processing machines are all extended from CNC lathes. Its processing principle is that the workpiece is rotating and the tool is fixed.
2. 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 milling cutter rotation motion is the main motion, and the workpiece and milling cutter can move into 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 high speed under the clamping of the fixture. When touching the workpiece, it can process the plane and groove on its surface, and can also process various curved surfaces, gears, and other CNC milling machines are those that use the milling cutter to process the workpiece. On the CNC milling machine, it can process the plane (horizontal plane, vertical plane), groove (keyway, T-shaped groove, dovetail groove, etc.) Splitting parts (gears, spline shafts, sprockets, helical surfaces (threads, spiral grooves) and various curved surfaces. In addition, it can also be used for processing the outer surface and inner hole of the reverse body and for blocking operations. Because of the intermittent cutting with multiple cutters, the productivity of CNC milling machine is high. The machining principle of CNC milling machine is that the workpiece is fixed and the tool is rotating.
3. Turning and milling compound, as the name implies, is a compound machine tool that includes all the functional features of CNC lathe and CNC milling machine. Its functions include turning and milling compound, turning and milling compound, and milling compound. The purpose of compound is to make a machine tool have multiple functions. It can complete multiple tasks at one time, improve processing efficiency and accuracy, because it combines the characteristics of CNC lathe with a machine, Greatly reduce the floor area and reduce the capital costs such as rent. Although the unit price of CNC turn-milling compound is relatively high, it can also effectively reduce the investment in total fixed assets and greatly reduce the cost of production operation and personnel and equipment management from the perspective of enterprise investment, because it can shorten the number of manufacturing process chains and fixtures, workshop floor area and reduce equipment maintenance costs.
4. The turn-milling compound lathe is the fastest developing and most widely used CNC equipment in the CNC lathe compound processing lathe. The compound processing of lathe is one of the important directions of the development of CNC machine tools. The compound lathe also includes various ways such as cutting turn-milling compound, cutting and ultrasonic vibration compound, milling compound, 3D printing compound, laser and stamping compound, etc. The purpose of compound is to make a lathe have multiple functions, which can end multiple missions with one clamping, and advance processing power and processing precision.
