On August 30, 2025, Wanmao Machinery Factory received an important piece of good news - two brand-new CNC turning and milling compound machine tools were officially delivered to the factory and completed installation and commissioning. When traditional CNC lathes and milling lathes process complex-shaped products, multiple clamping and direction changes are required, which cannot meet the requirements of shape and position tolerances for the products. The CNC turning and milling compound machine tool can achieve multi-axis linkage. Processes such as turning inner and outer circles, milling planes, milling grooves, drilling, and tapping can be completed in one go with the same equipment, greatly enhancing processing capacity and product accuracy.
What are the limitations and challenges of traditional processing techniques?
In the mechanical processing industry, the manufacturing of complex-shaped products has always been a formidable challenge. During the processing of traditional CNC lathes and milling machines, multiple clamping and direction changes are often required. This not only increases production time but also may make it difficult to control the shape and position tolerances of the products. For instance, when processing complex parts such as universal joints and bearing housings, traditional equipment cannot complete all the processes in a single clamping. Frequent repositioning and clamping are prone to introduce cumulative errors, which affect the accuracy and consistency of the products.
In addition, traditional processing methods are highly dependent on the technical skills of operators, and the intervention of human factors increases the risk of quality fluctuations. Especially in industries with high precision requirements, such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing and medical devices, errors at the micrometer level can lead to the failure of product functions. Therefore, how to enhance processing accuracy, reduce clamping times and lower human intervention has become an urgent problem for mechanical processing enterprises to solve.
In what aspects are the technical advantages of CNC turning and milling compound machine tools reflected?
The emergence of CNC turning and milling compound machine tools has completely transformed the traditional processing mode. This equipment integrates multiple functions such as turning, milling, drilling and tapping. Through multi-axis linkage technology, it realizes the one-time clamping and full-process processing of complex parts. Its core advantages are reflected in the following aspects:
High precision and high stability
The CNC turning and milling compound machine tool adopts an advanced CNC system and precise transmission structure, which can adjust the tool path and processing parameters in real time during the processing, ensuring strict control of product dimensions and shape and position tolerances. By completing multiple processes with a single clamping, the reference error caused by multiple clamping is effectively avoided, significantly improving the accuracy and consistency of the product.
Multi-functional integration and efficient processing
This equipment can achieve integrated processing of various techniques such as internal and external cylindrical turning, plane milling, slot milling, drilling and tapping. Whether it is complex curved surface parts or porous system structures, they can all be efficiently completed on the same equipment. This integrated processing method not only shortens the production cycle but also reduces the reliance on multiple pieces of equipment, lowering equipment investment and floor space.
The level of automation and intelligence is high
The CNC turning and milling compound machine tool is equipped with high-precision sensors and an intelligent control system, which can automatically detect parameters such as tool wear and temperature changes, and adjust processing strategies in real time. In addition, it supports single-person multi-machine collaborative operation. One operator can manage multiple devices simultaneously, significantly enhancing the utilization efficiency of human resources.
Strong adaptability and wide application range
From simple bearing housings to complex universal joints, from customized CNC machined parts to high-precision molds, CNC turning and milling compound machine tools can handle them all with ease. Its flexible processing capacity makes it particularly suitable for small-batch and multi-variety production modes, and it can quickly respond to customers' personalized demands.
The new equipment helps Wanhao Machinery achieve a dual improvement in production capacity and quality
With the addition of two new types of CNC turning and milling compound machine tools, the production capacity of Wanhao Machinery has been significantly enhanced. At present, the enterprise has four such devices and has formed a large-scale and intensive production mode. This configuration not only significantly enhances production efficiency but also effectively reduces the unit processing cost through the collaborative operation of multiple machines by one person.
Take the processing of a certain type of universal joint as an example. The traditional process requires the collaboration of multiple equipment such as rough machining on lathes, fine milling on milling machines, and drilling on drilling machines, with a total processing time of approximately 4 hours. After adopting the CNC turning and milling compound machine tool, all processes can be completed in one clamping, the processing time is shortened to 2 hours, and the efficiency is increased by more than 40%. Meanwhile, due to the reduction of intermediate links and human intervention, the product qualification rate has increased from the original 91% to over 97%.
In addition, the introduction of new equipment has also enhanced the competitiveness of Marriott Machinery in the market. For instance, in the field of medical devices, the precision and surface finish requirements for parts are extremely high. CNC turning and milling compound machine tools can meet the strict quality demands of such industries through precise milling and polishing processes.
Future Outlook: Intelligent Manufacturing and Industry Innovation
The introduction of CNC turning and milling compound machine tools by Marriott Machinery this time is an important step in the company's own technological upgrade. With the advent of the Industry 4.0 era, intelligent manufacturing and digital factories have become the mainstream trends in the manufacturing industry. As a typical representative of intelligent manufacturing, the multi-axis linkage and integrated processing features of CNC turning and milling compound machine tools are precisely the core direction of future mechanical processing technology development.
In the future, Wanhao Machinery plans to further promote the intelligent transformation of its production lines. By introducing Internet of Things technology and data analysis platforms, it aims to achieve real-time monitoring of equipment status and dynamic optimization of the production process. Meanwhile, the enterprise will also strengthen cooperation with universities and research institutions, promote the research and application of new materials and new processes, and provide customers with more efficient and precise processing solutions.
Wanhao Machinery has always adhered to driving enterprise development through technological innovation, taking customer demands as the orientation, constantly optimizing production processes, and improving product quality. The two newly added CNC turning and milling compound machine tools not only provide a powerful supplement to the company's existing production capacity but also represent an active layout for future market demands. With the commissioning of this batch of advanced equipment, Wanhao Machinery will provide customers with more reliable precision processing services with higher efficiency, better quality and lower cost.
