The definition of a turning milling machine

A turning milling machine is a compound machine that contains all the functional features of CNC turning and CNC milling machines. The purpose of turning a milling machine is to make one machine have multiple functions. It can complete multiple tasks in one clamping, and improve processing efficiency and accuracy, because it combines the characteristics of CNC lathes into one machine, greatly reducing the floor space and reducing capital costs such as rent. Although the unit price of a turning milling machine is relatively high, because it can shorten the manufacturing process chain the number of tooling fixtures, and workshop floor space and reduce equipment maintenance costs, it can also effectively reduce the overall fixed assets from the perspective of corporate investment, significantly reducing costs in production operations and personnel and equipment management.

What are the advantages of turning a milling machine:

1. High efficiency

Instead of separate turning and milling setups, the turning milling machine operates both processes at once. This reduces production time and labor, making the manufacturing process more efficient.

2. More precise

Turning milling machine enables high levels of precision and accuracy, making it ideal for manufacturing complex parts with tight tolerances. Synchronized turning and milling actions ensure the workpiece is formed exactly as required.

3. Improved surface treatment

Turning milling machine produces an excellent surface finish on the workpiece, always no need for additional finishing operations, it saves time and resources.

4. Save cost

By combining operations and reducing setup time, turning the milling machine can save costs for customers, it is a cost-effective option for some applications.

The characters of the turning milling machine:

1. Turn milling machine uses a high-precision built-in spindle.
2. The operation panel can be moved freely to improve work efficiency further
3. The machine is mainly used for the mass production of various small parts and complex parts, it is suitable for high-speed processing and diversified processing.
4. It can finish the particular, long, and complex processes in one time. It can also configure automatic feeding devices to improve efficiency.
5.  It supports the processing of a variety of materials, such as copper, iron, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, Teflon, and other materials.

The disadvantages of turning the milling machine

1. Increased complexity: Integrating CNC turning and CNC milling processes brings complexity to programming and CNC machine operation.
2. Specialized Skills Required: The operation and programming of CNC turning milling machines may require specialized skills, which may limit the number of available operators.
3. Equipment and tooling costs: A CNC turn and mill machine is a significant investment, and tooling and equipment maintenance costs are relatively high.
