What are the process design principles for Dongguan turning and milling composite processing

1. Turning and milling process

The Dongguan turning and milling composite machining process consists of one or more sequentially arranged programs, which can be subdivided into steps or tool paths. Process refers to a part of the process in which a worker (or group of workers) continuously completes the same (or multiple) workpieces on a machine tool (or work site). The process flow is the basic component of the process flow and the basic unit of production planning.

2. Steps and cutting

A process is a continuous process completed under the same machining surface, same machining tool, and same cutting amount conditions. A process includes one or several steps. If a thick metal layer needs to be cut in one process step, it must be cut multiple times, each time as one. A step can include one or more passes.

3. Installation and workstation

Installation refers to the process of completing a workpiece (or assembly unit) through clamping. A process can include one or more installations. A workstation refers to the process of completing each position occupied by a machine tool at once. When using indexing fixtures, turntables, or multi axis machine tools in Dongguan turning and milling composite processing, the workpiece needs to pass through multiple workstations for one clamping.
