What are the functions and uses of turn-mill lathes?

A turn-mill lathe is a comprehensive machine tool that combines the functions of a lathe and a milling machine. It can perform turning and milling operations at the same time, so it is widely used in various machinery manufacturing industries. The functions and uses of turn-milling lathes will be introduced in detail below.

1. Turning function: As a type of lathe, the turning-milling lathe has a turning function. It can rotate the workpiece and use a cutting tool to cut the material on the workpiece to achieve processing of outer circle, inner circle, end face and other shapes. The turn-milling lathe can process a wide range of parts, such as shaft parts, disc parts, gears, etc.

2. Milling function: As a type of milling machine, the turn-mill lathe has a milling function. Milling uses a rotating tool to gradually cut off the material on the workpiece to achieve processing of various shapes. The turning-milling lathe can perform a variety of milling operations such as linear milling, vertical milling, slot milling, gear milling, etc., and is suitable for processing various flat, curved and grooved parts.

4. Compound function: The biggest feature of the turning-milling compound lathe is that it has both turning and milling functions, and can complete complex processing tasks on one machine tool. By switching tools and operating programs, turning-milling lathes can realize mutual conversion between turning and milling. Flexible and diverse processing methods greatly improve production efficiency.

5. High machining precision: The turn-milling lathe is equipped with a precision tool holder and feed system, which can achieve high-precision machining. Machining accuracy is one of the customer's requirements for products, and turning-milling lathes have unique advantages in high precision.

6. Diversity of processes: The turning-milling lathe can realize a variety of complex processes, such as turning, milling, grooving, threading, etc. This diversity of process processing can meet customers' processing needs for different shapes, sizes and materials

7. Production flexibility: Turning and milling composite lathes have high production flexibility. They can adjust tools and processing procedures at any time according to product needs, quickly switch processing methods, and can adapt to small batch and multi-variety production requirements.

8. High cutting efficiency: Turning and milling composite lathes have high cutting efficiency and can achieve faster processing speeds and higher processing efficiency. The improvement of cutting efficiency can effectively reduce processing time and cost, and improve the production efficiency of enterprises.

9. Application fields of turning and milling composite lathes: Turning and milling composite lathes are widely used in aerospace, automobile factories, general machinery, molds and models, instrumentation, medical equipment, electronic equipment and other industries. Especially in the automotive and aerospace industries, turn-mill lathes can meet the processing needs of large parts.
