I. Functions and Applications
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 turning and milling compound machine tool ‌ : Function ‌ : Integrates turning and milling functions into one, capable of completing multiple processing procedures such as turning, milling, drilling, and tapping in a single clamping.
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 application ‌ : It is suitable for processing parts with complex shapes and multiple procedures, and is widely used in manufacturing sectors such as aircraft, automobiles, shipbuilding, power equipment, and national defense.
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 through-spindle ‌ : Function ‌ : A high-precision and high-efficiency CNC machine tool, mainly used for processing small and precise parts, capable of simultaneously performing compound processing such as turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and engraving.
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 application ‌ : Mainly used for batch processing of precision hardware and special-shaped non-standard parts of shafts, it has a significant advantage in the precision shaft processing market.
 
Ii. Structural Features
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 turning and milling compound machine tool ‌ : It has a complex structure, integrates multiple processing functions, and usually has a large processing range and high flexibility.
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 through-spindle ‌ : It has a relatively compact structure and adopts a spindle moving design. The cutting tool is fixed on the machine tool, and the material is processed through the movement of the spindle, which is conducive to the continuous processing of complex parts.
 
Iii. Processing Efficiency and Accuracy
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 turning and milling compound machine tool ‌ : As it can complete multiple processing procedures in one clamping, it reduces the number of clamping times and auxiliary time, and improves production efficiency.
 
The numerical control processing program control ensures high precision and stable quality.
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 through-spindle ‌ : It also features high precision and high efficiency, and is particularly suitable for batch processing of small and precise parts.
 
The adoption of designs such as dual-axis tool arrangement further shortens the processing cycle time.
 
Iv. Cost and Investment
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 turning and milling compound machine tool ‌ : The equipment price is relatively high and the one-time investment is large, but in the long run, the cost can be reduced by improving production efficiency and reducing auxiliary time.
 
The operation and maintenance requirements are relatively high, and professional personnel are needed for operation and maintenance.
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 through-spindle ‌ : The equipment price is relatively high, but it is more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups to be stable.
 
The operation is relatively simple, easy to get started with and maintain.
 
V. Selection Suggestions
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 select ‌ based on processing requirements: If it is necessary to process parts with complex shapes and multiple processes, and there are high requirements for processing accuracy and production efficiency, a turning and milling compound machine tool can be chosen.
 
If you need to process small and precision parts in batches and have certain considerations for equipment cost and operational simplicity, you can choose a through-spindle machine.
 
Youdaoplaceholder0 Consider the actual situation of the enterprise ‌ : Large enterprises or those with strong financial strength can choose turning and milling compound machine tools to improve production efficiency and product quality.
 
Small and medium-sized enterprises or start-ups can choose the through-hole machine to reduce equipment costs and quickly enter production.
 
To sum up, both turning and milling compound machines and through-spindle machines have their own advantages. The choice of which one is better depends on specific processing requirements, the actual situation of the enterprise, and the budget, among other factors.
