Many processing plants still continue the traditional machining mode: parts are first turned on a lathe, removed and transported to a milling machine for milling, slotting, and drilling, and then clamped and aligned multiple times. There are several unavoidable pain points in this mode: every disassembly and assembly introduces positioning errors, and the yield of complex parts is constrained; Workpieces circulate in the workshop, while products pile up, extending the overall delivery cycle; Multiple machine tools, multiple operators, and high equipment and labor costs; Encountering tight orders and queuing up for process flow can easily lead to delivery delays.

The "one-time clamping and full process completion" of milling and turning composite machine tools is designed to address the pain points in this industry. Harman Precision EX turning and milling composite, dual spindle single tool tower series, integrating turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and irregular milling composite capabilities. The workpiece only needs to be clamped and positioned once, and all processing procedures are completed in the same machine, eliminating the need for multiple equipment circulation of the workpiece, reducing the cumulative error caused by repeated clamping from the root, and improving the qualification rate of part form and position tolerances.

The EX milling composite series has a indexing accuracy of up to 0.001 °, a tool change time of only 0.1 seconds, and a comprehensive production efficiency improvement of 30%? 50%. The dual spindle model relies on the auxiliary spindle to clamp the workpiece, achieving continuous processing of both sides of the workpiece, especially suitable for shaft parts. The Mihanna cast iron bed body, combined with thermal compensation technology, can stably output both heavy cutting and precision machining.

But equipment is just a tool, the value will only be released when the process is implemented. Many factories buy back composite machine tools and still use the old technology of ordinary lathes, which cannot fully utilize the equipment's capabilities. Harman Precision Machinery not only outputs hardware equipment, but also supports workpiece process evaluation, optimizes composite machining cutting paths and parameters, and conducts programming operation training. Equipped with complete after-sales support, it helps the factory truly make good use of the one-time clamping process, achieve cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement.
