Turning and milling machines
This is not a small machine, but a real center. Now such devices are produced with a huge number of capabilities and small compactness. This makes it possible to install a CNC router even in a standard garage.
They can be automated, semi-automatic or manual. Separately, it is worth mentioning about devices working on metal, which are equipped with numerical program control.

Application of Router machines for metal processing
CNC machines for metal “Router” are designed to perform various types of processing operations: milling, drilling, engraving and others, and machines with a large working field are used, among other things, for cutting large-format sheets and cutting metal.
In addition, our machines are successfully used not only in manufacturing, but also in the electronics industry for the manufacture of printed circuit boards, in dentistry for the manufacture of dentures and crowns, as well as in many other industries.
CNC turning and milling machines
Numerical control makes machine tools automated and helps to accurately process a wide variety of workpieces. CNC metal cutting machines have great advantages compared to manually controlled analogues:
- Performance is an order of magnitude higher, which is important
- Increased precision is used, which is especially important when producing small and precise parts.
- The ability to apply modern information technologies when switching to other types of parts.
- Preparation for the process takes place in the engineering field of work.
- They serve for a long time and reliably.
- They are economical in resource consumption, which is very important for a large enterprise.
- Easy to use and maintain.
Also, such machines are distinguished by ergonomic design. Using such machines you can process long and flat parts.
Types of CNC turning and milling equipment
The production currently produces several types of milling machines:
- standard device;
- with a counter spindle;
- with an antinodal center;
- with the presence of a C-axis.
Each of the machine subtypes has its own technological differences. Modern standard machines can not only mill, but also drill holes in metal products. However, the revolver of such machines is inactive, and therefore the productivity is low.
The turning-milling processing machine does not have such problems, since it is equipped with a milling head with a landing end in the form of a variety of types of cones. The presence of such heads allows you to install special cutters on the equipment. This significantly expands the processes that can be performed with metal on such equipment:
- countersinking;
- drilling;
- chamfers, as well as grooves on workpieces;
- processing actions at the ends;
- deployment;
- thread cutting.
A special jig is also used to hold the square shank or a special cutting tool. There is also a special mechanism that is responsible for replacing tools in a CNC turning and milling machine. This device is called a changer.
Such complex installations are necessary in enterprises where highly complex metal parts of varying precision and complexity are manufactured. Using this equipment, it is possible to alternate milling with turning many times.

Milling centers with counter spindle and C-axis
The presence of a C-axis is one of the first models of equipment with cutters on the centers of the first modifications.
There is a separate drive to impart torque to the main tool (drill or cutter). An automated device - a changer - is responsible for replacing tools.
All devices with a C-axis have one important operating function - to control the angle of inclination and rotation speed of the workpiece. The indexing accuracy in this case will be one thousandth of a degree.
With such mechanisms in place, a C-axis machining center can perform many more functions than a standard lathe:
- work on gears;
- operations with a milling cutter on worm gears;
- turning of crankshafts, as well as their production.
All these operations are performed by a device with a C-axis without any problems. This improves its performance.
But devices with a counter-spindle are a more advanced tool for working with milling cutters and turning equipment. The second spindle is mounted in place of the tailstock. The presence of a second spindle on the processing device provides the tool with enormous functionality. To make the tool much more efficient, it can be equipped with a second changer.

Machining centers of the trading company TRENS
All installations of this company have one characteristic design - an inclined frame. As a result, the machines are very durable and rigid. With such a device it is easy to create the most accurate parts.
This brand has several metal-processing milling machines with different levels of equipment. The most popular and frequently used machining centers in large- and medium-scale production should be described.
SBL 300
One of the simple models that works on thread cutting, performs milling work, as well as complex manipulations. Despite the simplest operations performed, this device easily copes with all milling operations.
The spindle of this device is characterized by increased rigidity, strength and excellent reliability. Its advantage is the ability to work at high speeds for a long time.
