What is CNC lathe milling composite machining?
Car milling composite machining refers to the process of machining in
multiple directions using two different types of cutting tools, namely
turning tools and milling cutters, on the same CNC machine tool. Simply
put, a car milling composite machining center is equivalent to the
combination of a CNC lathe and a machining center.

Working principle of milling and turning composite machining center
The CNC lathe milling composite machine can simultaneously achieve
turning and milling processing, combining the functions of traditional
lathes and milling machines. The following is an introduction to the
working principle of the lathe milling composite machine:
According to CAM software, perform numerical control programming and
generate numerical control programs that can be recognized by the CNC
machine tool. Upload the milling part program, and the machine tool will
perform the initial turning steps normally. The cutting rotating tool
will remove excess material and process the desired shape.
-After the turning process is completed, the turning and milling
composite machine will rotate the tool to proceed to the next milling
process, completing the machining of the side holes and irregular
surfaces of the parts.
Compared with the parts processed by CNC lathe milling composite
machine tools, the precision is higher, the accuracy is higher, and the
efficiency is higher. At the same time, this process is suitable for
processing various materials and complex parts.
Characteristics of turning milling composite machining center
Numerical control turning and milling composite machining is mainly
achieved through milling processes such as flat milling, drilling and
tapping, and groove milling on lathes. The following are the
characteristics of turning and milling composite machining centers:
1. The car milling composite machining center uses high-precision built-in spindle
2. Free moving operation panel improves work efficiency
3. The model mainly produces various small and complex parts in large
quantities, with high-speed processing and diversified processing
4. Especially for slender and complex processes, they can be
processed and formed in one go, and automatic feeding devices can be
configured to improve efficiency;
5. Widely applicable materials include titanium, copper, iron, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, Teflon, and other materials.
The advantages of combined milling and turning processing
With the rise of intelligence and high-end fields, the demand for CNC
turning and milling parts in the industry is increasing day by day. The
combination of turning and milling technology will solve many problems
for emerging industries. Let's take a look at the advantages of
combination of turning and milling:
1. Faster production efficiency: The turning milling composite
completes most of the processes in one clamping, quickly and efficiently
completing the product.
2. Higher accuracy: Reducing the number of clamping times can better
ensure accuracy, and the machine equipment has online detection
function, which can achieve in-situ detection and accuracy control of
key data in the manufacturing process.
3. Lower production costs; The shortening of the manufacturing
process chain and the reduction of equipment required for products, as
well as the reduction of the number of fixtures, workshop space, and
equipment maintenance costs, can effectively reduce the overall
investment, production operation, and management costs of fixed assets
4. Higher flexibility and adaptability: The turning and milling
composite machine tool can adapt to multiple varieties and small batch
production methods, with multiple processing functions and high
flexibility. In production, different cutting tools and processing
strategies can be selected according to different part requirements to
achieve rapid production changes and adjustments.
5. More energy-efficient and environmentally friendly: The turning
and milling composite machine tool adopts advanced energy-saving
technology and environmentally friendly materials, which can reduce
energy consumption and environmental pollution.
