Currently, more and more complex parts of composite tools for integrated processing. Machine tool machine tools have become an important direction of development. Because the machine tool highlights the card installed in one piece to complete most or all of the processing operations to reduce its machine tools and fixtures, remove inter-process handling and storage, improving process precision, shorten the processing cycle and save operating area purpose.

Recently, in Chicago at the International Manufacturing exhibit several machine tool, the basic machine tool on behalf of the world's future direction:

The turning-based machine tool Such machine in the horizontal turning centers and vertical turning centers based on the integration of the milling, drilling and tapping, boring, grinding, and gear hobbing and gear shaping process methods such as horizontal or vertical milling machine tool. Representative of Austria WFLMillTunTechnologies's M65 and M60-G; Japan MAZAK Corporation 100 , 200 , 300 series, QTN100MS, 250MSY, 350M series; Germany DEX IN Juan's TRAUBTNX65; DMG's TWIN65 and other horizontal Milling machine tool.

Austria WFLMillTunTechnologies exhibition on display in horizontal milling M65 machine tool has some representation. The traditional horizontal lathe machine general layout of the form of bed with high rigidity 60 ° inclined bed structure, guide specially designed for the large-size linear guide with high rigidity and good anti-vibration. Bed turning left for the spindle box, with C axis. The right end of the tailstock device. Department who is inclined bed lathe, milling, boring spindle device can be along the vertical (Z axis), horizontal (X-axis), radial (Y axis) for linear motion and the swing axis B rotary movement. In addition, B-axis can also be indexing 2.5 ° as a unit with on a whirlwind milling roughing capacity. The lower part of inclined bed is available in vertical and horizontal motor control center support, and boring the hole for the end processing device can not use the tailstock support the workpiece. The M60-G at this position is turning a pole rotary disc holder, the longitudinal (Z1) axis, horizontal (X1-axis) can participate in simultaneous machining. Therefore the machine has X, Y, Z, B and C multi-axis interpolation linkage function, in the absence of intervention, turning, drilling, milling, grinding, Gun Drill, internal and external tooth processing, milling, round arc milling of the task. The machine tool spindle box in the back with a knife up to 120 bits of no wear, maintenance-free disc Tool chain tool to replace the traditional library can store up to 900 mm, weighing 20 kg tool. Machine tool change position in the top left axis spindle box, in order to reduce tool change spindle from moving when the car caused by non-productive waste of time, tool change position of vertical travel in the whole place within the program database programming. Below the axis milling machine configuration tool support attachment second solid dovetail unique structure, can be installed deep drilling Arbor, WFL Series Boring Bar, the overall bit, processing power within the cavity surface boring tools and special much larger than standard size cutter knives and other large tools. The top right end of machine tool spindle with ATC units can automatically access up to two lengths of up to 1550 mm, weighing 150 kg of large knives. Deep Hole Boring Bar and the driving force within the cavity machining tool can load a variety of cutting tools, can be obtained directly from the left Tool knife, and a separate machine by sliding doors operate without interruption of processing. On the workpiece, the cylindrical parallel processing, you can achieve extremely high concentricity, while ensuring the surface of boring and milling position accuracy.

To milling-based machine tool Such machine in the horizontal machining centers and vertical machining centers based on the integration of the turning, drilling and tapping, boring, grinding and gear hobbing and gear shaping process methods such as horizontal or vertical milling machine tool car. Such as Japan MAZAK's INTEGREXe-800V / 5, e-1550V10 horizontal milling machine tool car, in the five-axis horizontal machining center to increase rotary table turning feature, you can install cards in a round plate under the parts to achieve lathe, milling and other machining processes completely. INTE Juan GREXe-500HS vertical milling machine tool car around in the machine located at each end of a spindle with a rotary chuck, chuck the right end in the axial stretching may be conducted on the long shafts top card processing, but also about the same time in both ends of the two fractional parts of the car, milling and other machining processes work.

Other machine tool Addition to these two more popular outside the machine tool, in this show there are many other types of machine tool, such as for bar machining DMG's DMC60S, Switzerland WILLEMIN's W -518MT so. To grinding and grinding-based Rotary (or replaceable) compound machines, there will be other laser machining, stamping, heat treatment technology and other complex combination of machines.

In short, this exhibition on the machine tool large-scale, variety, and high levels of many can see the development of machine tool in the ascendant. The future will combine the CNC machine tool technology, software technology, information technology, reliability and technological development, to the simplicity of components, compact structure of the configuration and components, modular commercial direction. Machine tool's performance will process requests according to the user to diversification, and promising for variety, single and small batch production of fully functional machine tool, also promising to improve production efficiency for the larger volume production conditions of the special functions of the appropriate machine tool. Meanwhile, the composite processing technology is also heavy, the mainframe has a broad development prospects of the bed. Complex processing is an important development direction of future machines.
