With the continuous improvement of machining efficiency and precision in modern manufacturing, CNC turning and milling center tools have become the fastest-growing and most widely used CNC equipment in composite machining, serving as a vital tool for achieving efficient multi-process machining. This article introduces the basic concepts, main features, and core components of CNC turning and milling center tools, focusing on the definition, core functions, and technical characteristics of the driven turret, helping you gain an in-depth understanding of this advanced manufacturing technology.
CNC turning and milling center tools integrate turning and milling functions into one unit, enabling multiple machining processes to be completed in one time clamping. This significantly shortens the manufacturing process chain and improves production efficiency. Compared to traditional single-function machines, CNC turning and milling center tools effectively reduce error accumulation caused by multiple re-clamping of workpieces, greatly enhancing machining accuracy. Additionally, these machines are typically equipped with online inspection capabilities to achieve real-time monitoring and precision control during manufacturing. Their compact design saves workshop space and reduces overall production costs.
Dual-function integration: Combines CNC turning and milling functions, supporting turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and other machining processes.
Multi-axis linkage: Equipped with B-axis, C-axis, and other multi-axis linkages to achieve high-precision machining of complex parts.
High efficiency: Completes most or all machining processes in one setup, significantly shortening manufacturing cycles.
High precision assurance: Reduces positioning errors and ensures machining quality through online inspection technology.
Space and cost saving: High integration reduces the number of machines and fixtures required.
Bed: The foundational structure of the machine, supporting the spindle and worktable, ensuring overall rigidity and stability.
Worktable: Mounted on the bed’s guideways, capable of multi-directional movement, securing the workpiece and cooperating with the spindle for machining.
Spindle: Drives the workpiece rotation, supporting turning operations, and is the core component of the machine.
Turret: Responsible for mounting and changing tools, and completing various processes such as turning, milling, and drilling.
CNC system: Controls the motion paths and machining parameters of all machine parts to achieve efficient and precise machining.
The driven turret differs from traditional hydraulic turrets by incorporating an internal motor that independently provides the main and feed motions for the tool, supporting multiple machining operations such as milling, drilling, and boring. The application of the driven turret enables the CNC turn-mill center tool to complete multiple complex machining processes on a single device, reducing tool change time and process transitions, thereby greatly improving machining efficiency and precision.
