    There’s a great deal to consider for combined machining on a turn-mill center – particularly when it comes to manufacturing complex geometries.

    This part somewhat resembles a rocket (hence our name for it: "Rocket shape"). It illustrates exactly how you can keep a handle on manufacturing throughout the process and get the most out of your high-performance machines.

    • Safety is paramount. In Tebis CAD/CAM software, you can control and monitor everything, including positioning movements with units like turrets or steady rests, transferring the part from the sub spindle to the main spindle, and head movements close to the part. 
    • What our customers particularly appreciate is that with Tebis, you only need a single postprocessor for all machining operations – in this case for drilling, turning and milling on the main and sub spindle. This greatly simplifies handling. 
    • We also manufactured the part at a very high surface quality and used barrel cutters.

    Cleverly combining turning and milling

    Combined turn-milling can be used to perform end-to-end turning and milling operations on a single machine without reclamping.

    That’s why this method is highly efficient, reducing costs and throughput time.

    In addition to turn-milling and mill-turning, Tebis also supports interpolation turning.
