At Grand Valley Manufacturing Co., we specialize in providing cutting-edge mill turn services that deliver precision and efficiency. Our advanced CNC milling and turning capabilities ensure superior results, meeting the needs of our clients across multiple sectors.
What is Mill-Turn Machining?
Mill-turn machining or mill–turning combines the best of CNC milling and turning in a single hybrid machine. CNC milling involves a rotating tool that removes material from a stationary or controlled-path workpiece to create complex shapes. On the other hand, CNC turning uses a lathe to rotate the workpiece while a stationary cutting tool shapes it, ideal for producing cylindrical parts and radial symmetry.
Mill-turning integrates these processes, allowing for simultaneous milling and turning. This method uses a mill-turn center that handles both operations in one setup, offering significant advantages over traditional methods.
Features of Mill-Turn Machining
Complex Parts Production
Mill-turning excels in producing complex parts with intricate dimensions and tight tolerances. Unlike conventional CNC milling and turning, which require transferring the workpiece between machines, mill-turn machining accomplishes everything in one setup. This streamlined process enhances efficiency and reduces the potential for errors associated with multiple setups.
Quicker Production
The efficiency of Mill-turning means faster production times. By eliminating the need for multiple setups and re-alignments, our mill-turn machines complete the entire production process more quickly. This not only speeds up manufacturing but also minimizes operator involvement, reducing labor costs and production time.
High Accuracy
Precision is important in manufacturing, and Mill-turning provides exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Since the workpiece is moved only once, the risk of misalignment and errors is significantly reduced. This ensures that each part meets stringent quality standards and maintains consistent performance across batches.
