3-axis Turning Center (X,Z+C-axis)
A 3-axis turning center is a type of computer numerical control (CNC) machine used for precision machining of complex parts. It is capable of performing turning operations on three axes: X, Y, and Z.
The X-axis controls the horizontal movement of the cutting tool, the Y-axis controls the vertical movement, and the Z-axis controls the longitudinal movement of the workpiece. With these three axes, the machine can make precise cuts at different angles and depths, producing a variety of shapes and contours.
The turning center consists of a bed, which holds the workpiece and the cutting tool. The bed is mounted on a base, which houses the control system and the electrical and mechanical components. The cutting tool is held in a tool turret, which can be rotated to bring the desired tool into position for cutting.
The machine is controlled by a computer program that specifies the tool path, cutting speed, and other parameters. The program can be created manually, or generated automatically from a CAD/CAM software package.
Some advanced 3-axis turning centers are also equipped with live tooling, which allows for milling, drilling, and tapping operations to be performed in addition to turning. This adds to the machine's versatility and allows for more complex parts to be manufactured with fewer setups.
Overall, 3-axis turning centers are versatile and efficient machines that can produce complex parts with high precision and accuracy. They are widely used in the manufacturing industry for a variety of applications.
Machines are strictly built on order. (Build-on-Demand)
