Turning center with counter spindle

Each of them is capable of simultaneously performing a large sequence of processing operations.

What are the main parameters you need to pay attention to when choosing a lathe?

1. Power of the main turning spindle and torque developed by the spindle: a more powerful, high-torque spindle will increase productivity, especially with “heavy” machining (large diameter parts, processing of difficult-to-cut materials, machining with large cutting depths and feeds).
2. Maximum number of revolutions of the turning spindle: a more revving spindle will make the processing of small-diameter parts more productive compared to a low-speed spindle, as it will allow you to fully realize the capabilities of modern metal-cutting tools.
3. Dimensions of the working area: maximum processed diameter, set diameter of workpieces, distance between centers.
4. Spindle size: the diameter of the front support of the spindle, as well as the through hole in it: a larger diameter of the through hole in the spindle will allow you to work with a bar workpiece of a larger diameter, and a larger standard size of the spindle provides a larger permissible weight of the installed workpiece.
5. The values ​​of working and rapid feeds on all axes of the machine.
6. Type of guides: sliding guides or rolling guides, guide sizes.
7. Positioning accuracy and axis repeatability.
8. The total mass of the equipment is an indirect criterion for the rigidity of the equipment: higher mass means higher rigidity and productivity.
9. Availability of additional equipment: automatic tool binding and part measurement system, coolant supply system at the required pressure, load monitors, vibration damping systems, temperature expansion compensation systems.
10. Modern CNC system: convenient graphical HMI interface, graphical simulation systems for real-time processing, control and collision avoidance systems, as well as the ability to connect the machine to an MES system.

Lathe machining center in operation

Universal multifunctional turning centers are used in the automotive and agricultural engineering, aviation and space industries. With their help, parts of complex geometric shapes are manufactured with high precision. First, the part is processed on a turning center. Then milling is carried out on CNC machines. This allows you to obtain a high quality surface.

Advantages of the equipment

When purchasing a vertical milling or turret lathe, a company spends more money than when purchasing a combined metalworking center. The advantages of this technique include:

• the workpiece is installed and fixed once for the entire processing cycle, which will allow achieving high accuracy of the finished product;
• the tool is changed according to the established algorithm; the operator is required to monitor the operation of the equipment and timely change of workpieces;
• the risk of producing defective parts is minimized, while the cost of production becomes lower and the production speed increases;
• machining centers are equipped with powerful and durable drives that operate without failures throughout their entire service life;
• versatility of use, with the help of a processing center it is possible to produce products of any complexity, the type of material also varies widely;
• machines are used to produce products in large and small batches; setting up a given operating algorithm takes a minimum of time.

Varieties

The design of the simplest machine contains a bed - the base of the machine, a spindle - a shaft with a chuck for securing the workpiece, a threading screw, a support - a mount for the cutter, a tailstock - a fastening element that holds the workpiece.

Simple design

Varieties of turning and milling equipment, of which a huge number are produced, allow it to be used in any production. So, for small auto repair shops and shops for repairing household appliances, a desktop or benchtop turning and milling machine for metal weighing up to 1 ton is quite suitable. Such a machine can perform the most common operations: longitudinal and transverse turning, thread cutting and drilling, processing splines, grooves, boring, milling, grinding.

Reference. A manually driven machine is even simpler - it is quite capable of drilling, milling and turning parts for household needs. And if such a machine is equipped with a copier, then it can be used to turn furniture legs, balusters, and flutes.

With counter spindle

When the machine began to use a counter spindle instead of a tailstock, its functionality and reliability increased significantly. Without operator intervention, the counter spindle allows you to hold and simultaneously process the workpiece. Additionally installed work fixture changers increase the productivity of the machine several times and allow it to be used for serial production of products.

With drive center

To increase the mobility of the machine head when milling and drilling holes, the designers replaced conventional revolvers with heads with a built-in movable tool. The mounting hole in them is arranged for cones of the Capto, ISO, BT, HSK type, suitable for turning cutters, due to which various operations have become possible: metal drilling, countersinking, chamfering, threading, etc.

C, mounted C-axis

In machines with a C-axis there is a changer of working devices, and drills and cutters are equipped with their own drive. It also provides control of the rotation speed of the workpiece at the time of its processing and indexing of the angular position (with an accuracy of 0.001°). Such centers allow you to perform complex operations that are inaccessible to other machine designs:

• boring of worm gears;
• milling of gears and crankshafts.

The servo drive and CNC are responsible for movement along the axes in machining centers.

Processing

The European brand “TRENS” produces a line of machines with an inclined bed. Their unique design ensures high precision processing due to the special strength of the tools. The machines are aimed at large and medium-sized serial production and production of complex profiles and parts. The following models of TRENS machines are in demand:

• "SBL 500 A" is designed for parts weighing up to 1050 kilograms. The unit is equipped with a reliable drive (Fagor, Siemens), milling and boring is provided by a CNC system with a counter spindle. The headstock has a hydraulic drive and hydraulic fixation of the workpiece. Special operations are provided, such as off-axis drilling.
• The SBL 300 with a C-axis performs standard milling operations, including finishing of flanges, shafts and other complex parts, and is suitable for thread cutting. The particularly rigid spindle is designed for long-term high-speed rotation and high productivity of the machine. The C-axis has a disk locking system, which allows you to instantly switch operating modes.
• “SBL 700” is the most complex and technologically advanced, capable of processing heavy (up to 2500 kg) curved, stepped and straight profiles. Operation control is carried out from Siemens CNC with 3D programming (connection to a PC via the Internet is possible).

Design and technical characteristics

Structurally, CNC metalworking centers are divided into vertical and horizontal . This depends on the location of one or more spindles. A separate group includes portal centers capable of processing workpieces of any complexity. Such installations can include up to 180 processing tools and process large parts.

A modern machining center is a rather complex engineering structure. The basis is a massive cast iron frame. It is heat treated to ensure maximum structural rigidity. Ball screws are installed on the frame to feed the workpieces. The feed speed can reach up to 40 m/sec. with the ability to position workpieces along the X, Y, Z axes and with an accuracy of up to 0.010-0.005 mm.

Universal turret heads are installed on horizontal and vertical metalworking centers , holding 12-16 tools with the ability to change in just 0.2-0.5 seconds in different planes. But portal installations differ not only in the number of processing tools, but also in the system of their high-speed change, more powerful spindles, a variety of interchangeable heads, long narrow tables and generally higher structural rigidity. As a result, this allows them to carry out high-precision processing of massive parts.
