The number of axes of the turning and milling composite machining center is not fixed, and there are common three-axis (X, Y, Z axis) and four-axis (adding auxiliary axes such as A axis or B axis and C axis) models, and there are high-end models with more axis numbers. The following is a detailed analysis of the number of axes of the turning and milling composite machining center:

 

 

 

First, three-axis turning and milling composite machining center

‌ number of axes ‌ : three axes, namely the X, Y and Z axes.

‌ function ‌ : X axis and Y axis are used to control the movement of the workpiece in the horizontal direction, and Z axis is used to control the movement of the spindle up and down to realize the machining of the workpiece in the vertical direction. This configuration can meet the basic needs of most turn-milling complex machining.

 

Two, four and more axis turning and milling complex machining center

‌ Number of axes ‌ : four or more axes, usually including X, Y, Z and one or more auxiliary axes (such as A, B, C, etc.).

‌ function ‌ : The addition of auxiliary shafts enables the machine to carry out more complex machining operations. For example, the A-axis is used to rotate the workpiece, the B-axis is used to tilt the workpiece, and the C-axis is used to make more complex angular rotations based on the A-axis and B-axis. These auxiliary shafts enable the turning and milling complex machining center to achieve more efficient machining and a wider range of process applications.

 

3. Specific examples

CNC horizontal turning and milling complex machining center has 4 axes, supporting turning, milling, drilling, boring, hobbing, scraping, grinding and other processes to meet complex processing needs.

It also has multiple shafts (which may vary depending on the specific configuration) to support a variety of processes such as heavy machining, turning milling and boring, gear machining, crankshaft machining and thread machining.

 

Fourth, the impact of the number of axes on processing efficiency and accuracy

‌ processing efficiency ‌ : The increase in the number of axes enables the machine to carry out more complex processing operations, thereby reducing the number of clamping times and processing time, and improving production efficiency.

‌ machining accuracy ‌ : Multi-axis machines generally have higher machining accuracy because the auxiliary shaft can help achieve more precise workpiece positioning and Angle adjustment.

 

V. Summary

The number of axes of the turning and milling complex machining center depends on the specific machine model and configuration. When choosing a machine tool, it should be considered comprehensively according to the processing needs and budget. At the same time, with the continuous development of technology, the future may appear more axis number, higher performance turn-milling complex machining center.
