Hybrid CNC Mill/Turn Machining for Complex, High-Precision Parts in One Setup
Hybrid CNC Mill/Turn Machining for Complex, High-Precision Parts in One Setup
Our hybrid CNC Mill/Turn capabilities can finish complex workpieces in one operation. With a single setup, these machines are able to turn a part, apply rotating tooling operations like milling and cross-drilling, and using sub-spindles, pass parts from one to another to machine two parts simultaneously. This flexible, multi-tasking allows us to complete parts in fewer steps and reduce setup times without sacrificing quality or precision. Additional automation and advanced technologies only further provide efficiency and accuracy for our customers.
What is mill-turn machining and how does it differ from traditional machining?
Mill-turn machining combines CNC turning and milling operations within a single machine. This allows complex components to be fully machined in one setup, eliminating multiple transfers between machines and improving overall accuracy and efficiency.
Why is mill-turn machining beneficial for complex precision parts?
By performing multiple machining operations simultaneously, mill-turn technology enables the production of complex geometries, cross-drilled features, and multi-surface components while maintaining tight tolerances and consistent repeatability.
How does mill-turn machining reduce production time?
Mill-turn systems minimize setup changes and secondary handling by completing turning, milling, and drilling operations in a single cycle. Sub-spindles can transfer parts automatically for additional machining, significantly reducing cycle time and lead time.
Is mill-turn machining suitable for production manufacturing?
Yes. Staub applies mill-turn machining within automated production environments designed for recurring manufacturing programs. Reduced setups and integrated automation support scalable, high-volume production with consistent quality outcomes.
How does mill-turn machining integrate with Staub’s manufacturing solutions?
Mill-turn machining connects directly with Staub’s automated inspection, finishing, and assembly processes. This integrated workflow allows customers to receive fully machined, production-ready components while simplifying supply chain management.
