Mill-turn is the process of combining turning and milling functions on the same machine tool for machining. It has the following characteristics:

1. Multifunctional processing: Turning and milling compound machine tools can complete various processing operations such as turning and milling on the same equipment. It has turning cutting mode and milling cutting mode, which can flexibly adapt to different processing needs.
2. Efficient and space-saving: through the turn-milling machine tool, multiple clamping and transfer of the workpiece can be avoided, the waiting time in the production process is reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved. At the same time, turning and milling operations are completed on one machine tool, which saves floor space and improves production efficiency and layout flexibility.
3. Reduce machining errors: Turn-milling machine tools can realize turning and milling operations through the same clamping and the same coordinate system, reducing the impact of multiple clamping on the initial workpiece positioning, thereby reducing the accumulation of machining errors.
4. High-precision machining: Turn-milling machine tools are usually equipped with advanced numerical control systems, which can precisely control the position, speed and feed of the tool to achieve high-precision machining. It can ensure the accuracy requirements of the size and shape of the workpiece, and is suitable for the field of precision machining.

Turn-milling compound machine tools are suitable for processing various complex shapes and workpieces requiring high precision, such as:

5. Auto parts such as automobile engine block and crankshaft.
6. Aircraft engine parts, turbine blades, aviation propellers, etc. in the aerospace field.
7. Large gears and shaft parts in the general machinery industry.
8. Generator rotors, turbines, bearing housings, etc. in power equipment.
9. Die parts of various complex shapes in mold manufacturing.

It is necessary to select the appropriate model and parameters of the turn-milling compound machine tool according to the specific processing requirements and workpiece characteristics to ensure the processing quality and efficiency. Machine tool builders and suppliers can provide more detailed information and advice to help select suitable equipment.
