Video: Turn-Mill Probes for Accurate Camshaft Machining

Feature-to-feature accuracy for diesel camshaft segments is possible thanks to in-process probing.

The Value Of Probing On Turn-Mills

Part probing isn’t performed as often on turn-mills as it is on conventional machine tools. It does offer advantages for multitasking machines, though. Includes video.

The Multi-Process Machine Mindset

Installing a machine tool that combines milling, turning, boring and other processes changed this job shop’s outlook.

U Axis Expands Internal Multitasking Machining

The promise of multitasking or complete machining continues to be realized in shops applying the technology. Driven by a need to manufacture workpieces complete in a single handling, machine tools that efficiently blend the operational capabilities of turning, milling and drilling in a single platform continue to evolve.
