Turn-Mill Center

When selecting a Turn-Mill Machining Center, several technical aspects must be considered to ensure optimal performance and productivity. Here are the key characteristics to evaluate when choosing the machine best suited for your requirements:

■ Workpiece Capacity
Consider the maximum workpiece dimensions and weight capacity. For example, the HT-960T handles larger parts up to 1300kg with 520mm length capacity, while the CK46 suits smaller components with 200mm length and lighter weights. Match these specifications to your typical part requirements.

■ Control System Options
Haitong offers multiple CNC control systems including FANUC, SIEMENS, and SYNTEC. The HT-960T comes with FANUC as standard while the CK46 features SYNTEC 22TB control. Choose based on operator familiarity and existing shop floor systems.

■ Spindle Performance
Spindle power, speed range, and through-hole diameter significantly impact machining capability. The CK46 delivers 6000 RPM with 7.5KW power for light-duty work, while the HT-960T provides 2200 RPM with 22KW for heavy cutting. Consider your material types and cutting requirements.

■ Tool Management
Tool capacity and turret configuration affect versatility. The HT-960T offers 8-12 stations, while the CK46 provides 8+X positions with power-driven tools. Evaluate based on your typical machining operations.

■ Precision Requirements
All models achieve ±0.003mm positioning accuracy, but consider specific features like linear guides and ball screws that maintain this precision. Match these specifications to your tolerance requirements.

■ Machine Construction
Consider bed design and structural rigidity based on applications. The HT-960T features a 40° slant bed design with cast iron construction, while the CK46 uses a 35° slant bed for optimal chip removal and stability.

■ Axis Configuration
Evaluate whether your applications require 3, 4, or 5-axis capabilities. The HT-960T offers 5-axis machining with sub-spindle for complex parts, while the CK46 provides 4-axis capability for standard turn-mill operations. Match configuration to your part complexity needs.

These factors should guide your selection process, but remember that each manufacturing requirement is unique. Haitong’s technical team can assist in determining the optimal configuration for your specific needs.
