The majority of machining parts are manufactured with various types of machine tools.
A multitasking machine is one that is designed to conduct many types of machining using a single machine rather than requiring multiple types of machine tools. In the long history of machine tools, multitasking machines are the product of constant efforts to consolidate operations.
A multitasking machine is one that has an automated tool changing feature (including the turret type). A multitasking machine is a numerically controlled machine tool that can execute numerous types of machining such as milling, turning, and grinding without altering the workpiece arrangement.
The machine’s most important characteristic is that a single multitasking machine can perform numerous machining processes.
Most machine tools, such as a lathe and a machining center, are required to produce a single item from material to final product, but a multitasking machine may accomplish all of these operations with a single machine.
A lathe is a machine that spins the material to be treated and uses a blade to shave it into a cylindrical form. A general-purpose lathe, for example, must be handled manually by a skilled artisan.
A NC lathe is a general-purpose lathe that is fitted with an NC device that is programmed to work automatically.
Because there is no need for many machine tools for different operations, the number of machines may be decreased, and manufacturing space can be more efficiently utilised.The factory’s overall output capacity can be enhanced.
In terms of machining precision, it is believed that as the number of mounting and dismounting operations grows, accuracy deteriorates, and location during mounting is critical.Previously, each procedure required the installation and removal of materials, which might result in minor discrepancies.
However, by machining with a single multitasking machine, it is feasible to remove the installation and removal operations that can reduce machining precision while maintaining consistent accuracy of the end product.A single multitasking system can do all of these tasks.
This is an automotive drive shaft.Lathe turning (one or two processes) + machining center + hobbing (two processes) complete conventional machining procedures.
The capacity to do all machining operations on a single multitasking machine is a strong selling point. The usage of a multitasking machine has several benefits, including greater labor efficiency, efficient use of manufacturing space, and increased production.
A milling cutter will be used to machine a spinning workpiece during a multitasking process. The combination of milling and turning processes offers several advantages, but multitasking machine tools have only lately demonstrated their full potential.
Integrating multitasking into the production process helps alleviate quality issues and significantly enhance output since highly productive machining using this way is achievable with contemporary machines and properly selected cutting tools.
In a multitasking operation, two types of machining are used: peripheral, in which the axes of the workpiece and the cutter are parallel, and face, in which these axes intersect. Helical interpolation is similar to peripheral multitasking in that it may be applied to both the external and interior surfaces of the revolution.
Despite the fact that multitasking is similar to turning with a rotating mill, there is a significant difference between these two machining processes, and the cutting speed in multitasking is defined by the peripheral speed of the milling cutter rather than the rotary velocity of the workpiece as in turning.
These two procedures may be performed by the machines in a single footprint, avoiding the need to transport the workpiece across the shop. Modern multitasking machines have a dynamic design and range in operating capabilities based on the demands of a shop.
Furthermore, the machine on the shop floor may revolutionize a shop’s capacity to effectively execute an integrated approach to production, going beyond just merging turning and milling activities.
The Global Multi-Tasking Machine Tools Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Hyundai WIA will unveil a variety of new products for next-generation machining.
The firm intends to introduce over 20 machine tools, as well as other turning and machining centers, and to accelerate its worldwide market penetration strategy by enhancing its multi-tasking machine and big size machine tool portfolio.
In terms of turning centers, Hyundai WIA has completely redesigned its small and medium turning center range with the introduction of the SE2200 Series. Following the successful debut of the SE2200 Series, the business has released the SE2600 Series, which offers both high-speed and sophisticated machining capabilities.
The SE2600 Series includes the SE2600, SE2600M, SE2600Y, and SE2600SY, which are models with a 10-inch spindle for machining short-length materials, as well as the SE2600L, SE2600LM, SE2600LY, and SE2600LSY for long-length materials.
Models in the SE2600 Series are designed to increase productivity and cost efficiency through high-speed machining. The series was released at a lower price point when compared to other products of the same capacity level, but with a faster travel speed for increased productivity through high-speed machining.
Furthermore, all models were outfitted with roller bearing-type LM guides, which provide higher stiffness compared to earlier versions for increased travel axis rigidity.
The business has even introduced a model with a sub-spindle and a Y-axis, which were previously unavailable in high-speed 10″ machine tools, providing a solution that can achieve both high added value and intricate machining.
