The diverse abilities of multitask lathes are pushing many machining businesses to reconsider their CNC machine tool selection. Here are five reasons why one of these machines should be your wingman on the journey to greater machining efficiency.
For as long as there’ve been machine tools, the people who own and operate them have yearned for equipment able to perform turning, milling, grinding and even gear-cutting operations equally well in the same machine. Such all-in-one machining platforms would greatly simplify the manufacturing process, they argued.
Work-in-process would be reduced. There’d be far fewer secondary processes and their associated fixturing costs. And because multiple part features or even the entire part might be completed in a single operation, part accuracy would be greatly improved. What’s more, there’d be no sacrifices in milling rigidity as there are on mill-turn lathes, or the admittedly lukewarm turning speeds achieved on “turn cut” capable horizontal machining centers and those with U-axis turning heads. As a result, neither tool life nor productivity would suffer.
