What is the difference between turning and milling?
1. Different characteristics
Turning means that lathe processing is a part of mechanical processing. Lathe machining mainly uses turning tools to turn the rotating workpiece. Lathes are mainly used to process shafts, discs, sleeves and other workpieces with revolving surfaces, and are the most widely used type of machine tool in machinery manufacturing and repair factories.
CNC lathes can process complex rotary shapes. Milling is to fix the blank, and use a high-speed rotating milling cutter to run on the blank to cut out the required shapes and features. Traditional milling is mostly used to mill simple contour features such as contours and slots.
2. Different functions
Turning is a method of cutting a workpiece on a lathe using the rotation of the workpiece relative to the tool. The cutting energy of turning is mainly provided by the workpiece rather than the tool
The milling and boring machining center can perform three-axis or multi-axis milling and boring processing for machining, molds, inspection tools, tire tools, thin-walled complex surfaces, artificial prostheses, blades, etc. When selecting CNC milling processing content, the advantages and key roles of CNC milling machines should be fully utilized.
3. Different working principles
During turning, the workpiece is driven by the spindle of the machine tool to rotate for the main movement; the turning tool clamped on the tool holder performs the feeding movement. The cutting speed v is the linear speed (m/min) at the contact point between the surface of the rotating workpiece and the turning tool; the depth of cut is the vertical distance (mm) between the surface to be machined and the machined surface of the workpiece during each cutting stroke. For parting and forming turning, it is the contact length (mm) of the turning tool and the workpiece perpendicular to the feed direction.
Milling machines include horizontal milling machines or vertical milling machines, as well as large gantry milling machines. These machine tools can be ordinary machine tools or CNC machine tools. Cutting with a rotating milling cutter as a tool. Milling is generally carried out on a milling machine or a boring machine, and is suitable for processing planes, grooves, various forming surfaces (such as splines, gears and threads) and special shapes of molds.
