The difference between CNC lathe and turning milling compound
The difference between CNC lathe and turning and 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 means 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 grip of the fixture, and is cut when it is close to the edge of the knife, so it is mainly suitable for machining axes, disks, sleeves and Other workpieces with inverted surfaces are the most widely used type of machine tools in machinery manufacturing and repair factories.
Common rotating machines such as CNC milling machines and drilling machines are derived 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 workpieces. It is expressed as the main movement of the milling cutter rotation, and the workpiece and the milling cutter can move as the feed movement. That is to say, its object is fixed at a certain position of the machine tool, and the milling cutter rotates at a high speed under the clamping of the fixture. When it touches the workpiece, it processes planes and grooves on its surface, and can also process various curved surfaces, gears, etc. It is a machine that uses a milling cutter to mill a workpiece. On a CNC milling machine, it can process planes (horizontal planes, vertical planes), grooves (key slots, T-shaped slots, dovetail slots, etc.), toothed parts (gears, spline shafts, chains, etc.) Good wheel, spiral appearance (thread, spiral groove) and various curved surfaces.
In addition, it can also be used to process the surface and inner hole of the reverse body and perform cutting operations. Because of the multi-knife intermittent cutting, the productivity of the CNC milling machine is relatively high. The processing principle of the CNC milling machine is that the workpiece is fixed and the tool is rotating.
3. As the name suggests, turning and milling compound 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, milling and grinding compound. One machine tool has multiple functions, it can complete multiple tasks in one clamping, improve processing efficiency and processing accuracy, because it combines the characteristics of the new CNC lathe into one machine, greatly reducing the floor space and rent, etc. capital cost.
Although the unit price of CNC turning and milling is relatively high, because it can shorten the manufacturing process chain and the number of fixtures, workshop floor space and reduce equipment maintenance costs, it can also effectively reduce the overall fixed assets from the perspective of enterprise investment. Investment, greatly reducing the cost of production operations and personnel and equipment management
4. The turning and milling compound lathe is the fastest growing and most widely used CNC equipment among the CNC lathe compound processing lathes. The compounding of lathe processing is one of the important directions of the development of CNC machine tools.
Compound lathes also include various methods such as cutting, turning and milling, cutting and ultrasonic oscillation, milling and grinding, 3D printing, laser and stamping. Multi-task, improve processing efficiency and processing accuracy.
