Traditional flange processing requires frequent changes of machines, with large clamping errors and long construction periods. Especially for complex flanges, they often need to be reworked due to accuracy issues. The combined turning and milling technology has completely changed this situation.
It integrates the functions of turning and milling. The flange can be completed from raw material to finished product in one setup. For example, the sealing groove milling and outer circle turning of stainless steel flanges do not require secondary positioning, and the form and position tolerance can be controlled within 0.02mm, far exceeding traditional processes.
Meanwhile, the machining and milling combined machine tool is equipped with an automatic feeding system, enabling unmanned operation for the production of small and medium-sized batches of flanges. A certain heavy industry enterprise reported that after adopting this technology, the processing efficiency of flanges increased by 40%, and the scrap rate dropped to below 1%.
The turning and milling manufacturing method for flanges not only ensures sealing performance but also reduces production costs.
