Manufacturer of Fuquan turning-milling machining centres

Furthermore, as it makes extensive use of monolithic thin-walled structures and difficult-to-machine materials, the manufacturing process is generally characterised by long lead times and a substantial amount of material removal,processing efficiencynumerous bottlenecks, such as low productivity and severe machining deformation. In order to improve the machining efficiency of complex aerospace products andmachining accuracy, Machinists are constantly seeking more precise machining methods. The advent of turning-milling combination machines has provided an effective solution for improving the machining accuracy and efficiency of aerospace components.

Compared with conventional CNC machining processes, the advantages of turning-milling combination machining are primarily evident in the following areas: Firstly, it shortens the product manufacturing process chain, thereby improving production efficiency. Secondly, it allows for the installation of a variety of specialised cutting tools and employs innovative tool arrangement methods, which reduce tool changeover times and thereby improve machining efficiency. Thirdly, turning-milling composite machining enables all or most machining operations to be completed in a single set-up, thus significantly shortening the product manufacturing process chain. Fourthly, this approach not only reduces production auxiliary time caused by changes in clamping but also shortens the manufacturing cycle and waiting time for tooling and fixtures, thereby significantly improving production efficiency.

Reducing the number of clamping operations improves machining accuracy. Fewer clamping operations prevent the accumulation of errors caused by the transformation of positioning references. In addition, most turning-milling combination machines are equipped with in-process inspection capabilities, enabling the on-the-spot monitoring of key manufacturing data and precision control, thereby enhancing product machining accuracy. Furthermore, the high-strength, monolithic bed design enhances the machine’s ability to machine difficult-to-cut materials under heavy loads. Moreover, the machine is equipped with an automatic feeding system, which enables automatic loading and continuous operation, essentially allowing a single machine to perform assembly line operations.

The footprint has been reduced, Production costsConsequently, costs are reduced. With its compact and aesthetically pleasing design, improved use of space and easier maintenance and repair, it ensures a high level of customer satisfaction; Although the unit price of integrated turning and milling machines is relatively high, the manufacturing process chain is shortened, the number of machines required for production is reduced, the number of tooling fixtures is decreased, the floor space required in the workshop is minimised, and equipment maintenance costs are lowered. This effectively reduces overall fixed asset investment, as well as production, operational and management costs.

CNC milling machines, known as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling machines, are milling machines controlled by digital signals generated by electronic computers. CNC milling machines, as a type of automated machining equipment, have evolved from conventional milling machines; their machining processes are largely similar, and there are also some structural similarities between the two. CNC milling machines are categorised into two main types: those without a tool magazine and those with a tool magazine. Among these, CNC milling machines equipped with a tool magazine are also referred to as machining centres.

The rapid development of social production and the rapid advancement of science and technology have led to mechanical products becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, with frequent changes in specifications. This is particularly true for mechanical components required in sectors such as aerospace, shipbuilding and defence, where precision requirements are extremely high, shapes are complex and production runs are very small. Machining such products frequently requires the modification or adjustment of equipment; neither conventional machine tools nor those with a high degree of automation can meet these requirements. To address the aforementioned issues, a new type of machine tool, namelyCNC machine toolsIt has been developed. This new type of machine tool offers advantages such as high adaptability, high machining accuracy, consistent machining quality and enhanced productivity. It comprehensively utilises technological advancements in computer technology, incorporates automatic control systems, integrates servo drive technology, employs precision measurement techniques, and features innovative mechanical structures, among other technological innovations; it represents the future direction of CNC machine tool development.
