Turn mill compound:

Turn-Mill Compound Machining is an advanced manufacturing technology that deeply integrates traditional turning with multi-axis milling, drilling, tapping, and other processes.
By completing the entire machining sequence in a single setup, turn-mill compound machines significantly reduce the number of workpiece transfers and repositioning, markedly enhancing machining efficiency, precision, and process flexibility.
It is particularly suited for the efficient, precision manufacturing of complex rotary components in aerospace, automotive, energy equipment, and medical device industries.

Core Advantages of Turn-Mill Compound Machining

1. Single Setup for Full Sequence Completion

Equipped with a powered turret and C-axis rotation, turn-mill machines perform multiple operations—including external turning, face machining, thread cutting, milling, and drilling—in a single setup.
This “all-in-one machining” mode eliminates positioning errors caused by multiple setups, ensuring part geometric accuracy and consistency.
It is particularly suitable for machining workpieces with complex features such as radial holes, splines, and non-circular cross-sections.

2. Enhanced Production Efficiency and Flexibility

By integrating multiple processes, turning-milling technology significantly shortens machining cycles, reduces equipment occupancy, and minimizes manual intervention. Simultaneously, it supports flexible production of small batches with diverse varieties.

3. Optimizing Machining Capabilities for Complex Parts

For components like impellers, crankshafts, and aerospace joints—which combine rotational and complex curved surfaces—turning-milling machines achieve efficient cutting with high dynamic performance.
This resolves the challenge of requiring multiple machines to collaborate in traditional processes.

4. Reduced Overall Manufacturing Costs

Minimizing clamping operations not only boosts efficiency but also lowers fixture costs and reduces risks of human error. Furthermore, by shortening process routes,
turning-milling composite machining substantially cuts costs and time in energy consumption and production management.

Typical Application Scenarios and Technological Breakthroughs
