Manufacturing challenges on combined mill-turn machine

What are the challenges and benefits in using mill-turn machine tools for finish turning?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Mill-Turn machines are hybrid CNC machines that combine both milling and turning functionalities.
  • After the final milling of the blade geometry or casings, finishing turning operations are still required, which can be carried out on dedicated turning machines or hybrid machines.
