Introduction to composite machining center

A composite machining center is a high-precision machining equipment commonly used to manufacture and process complex parts and workpieces. It combines several different machining technologies such as milling, turning, drilling, grinding and electrical discharge machining to complete multiple machining operations on one machine tool. This type of machine tool has a high degree of automation and precision and can be used to manufacture parts that require high precision and quality, such as aerospace parts, molds, medical equipment, automotive parts, etc.
Hybrid machining centers are often equipped with multi-axis control systems that allow workpieces to be machined in multiple directions. This allows it to process complex shapes such as curves, bevels, holes, etc. The composite machining center can also perform multiple different processing steps while clamping the workpiece at one time, thereby reducing the number of re-clamping and re-clamping of the workpiece and improving production efficiency.
The application fields of hybrid machining centers are very wide, especially in the manufacturing of high-precision and high-complexity parts. It can be used to process a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and more. These machine tools are usually controlled by computer numerical control (CNC) systems, and operators can use CAD/CAM software programming to define machining paths and parameters, thereby automating the production process.
