Lathes, machining centers and other machines are inefficient in series? Complete the entire process with one DONGS machine tool

Jun.30.2025

In traditional manufacturing sites, a complex component often requires multiple processes such as lathe rough machining, machining center drilling, milling machine tapping, etc. The entire process involves multiple devices in series, frequent replacement and transportation, and repeated alignment and positioning. It is not only time-consuming and costly, but also easy to accumulate machining errors, making it difficult to guarantee the yield rate.

DONGS machine tools integrate all these processes into one device, completing all processing tasks in one clamping.

Shandong DONGS CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. (DONGS CNC) has launched a composite horizontal turning center designed for the processing of medium and large complex parts by continuously deepening the complex and automated design of equipment. It truly realizes the "turning, drilling, milling, and tapping" in one machine, and completely solves the problems of low efficiency, scattered processes, and large quality fluctuations in traditional processing methods.

 

一、Are you experiencing the pain points of connecting multiple devices in series?

Over the past decade, the mainstream mode of processing medium and large workpieces has been "single machine dedicated, serial production", which seems reasonable, but in fact there are the following common problems:

1. Repeated handling, low efficiency

A part needs to be repeatedly moved between multiple devices such as lathes, machining centers, and drilling machines. The clamping time is long and the positioning accuracy is difficult to control, which seriously affects the processing rhythm.

2. Process fragmentation leads to accumulation of errors

Since each process is performed by different machines and different personnel, errors in size, position and concentricity are superimposed, and in serious cases, the product needs to be repaired or scrapped.

3. High reliance on manual labor and high difficulty in collaboration

The coordination of multiple devices requires the scheduling of multiple types of work and multiple batches. The process is difficult to standardize, which is not conducive to the company's realization of lean production.

4. Large site occupation and high management cost

The linkage of multiple machines requires greater space layout and personnel management investment, which not only increases manufacturing costs but also lengthens the production response cycle.

 

二、The answer from DONGS: One machine for all processes

The composite medium and large-sized horizontal turning center developed by DONGS CNC breaks the traditional "single-function machine tool + serial process" model, integrating turning, drilling, tapping, end face processing, composite milling and other functions into one device, realizing truly multi-process integrated processing.

Core Features】:

 

One clamping → multiple processes completed
Significantly reduce the time for alignment and changeover, improve positioning accuracy, and enhance product consistency;

 

 

Power turret + end tool + spindle powerful drive
It can handle both high-intensity cutting and high-precision finishing, meeting the multi-faceted processing requirements of complex parts;

 

 

Flexible process programming system
Supports mainstream CNC systems such as FANUC, SYNTEC, and Siemens, and can quickly deploy a variety of processing solutions without the need for complex programming experience;

 

 

Automation reserved interface
It can integrate automatic loading and unloading devices, chip removal systems and MES docking modules, and easily integrate into digital factories.

三、Real case: One machine is equivalent to three machines, and only half the space is needed to replace the production line

A European manufacturer specializing in wind turbine flange and spindle processing used to use a horizontal lathe to complete rough turning, and then transferred to a vertical lathe for drilling and tapping. The entire process required three machines and two operators, and the processing cycle for each workpiece exceeded 6 hours.

Since the introduction of the DONGS compound horizontal turning center, the factory has integrated all processes into one machine tool, shortening the processing cycle to 3 hours, requiring only one operator, and reducing the area of ​​the entire production line by nearly 40%.

"In the past, we needed to adjust three machines and arrange three people, but now we only need one DONGS to complete the entire process. It not only saves labor and space, but also the delivery cycle of the entire project."

 

四、The core of manufacturing transformation: from "serial processing" to "process integration"

As the manufacturing industry moves towards intelligence, leanness and automation, the production method is also undergoing fundamental changes. Integrating multiple dispersed processes into one is not only to improve efficiency, but also an important means to reduce human intervention, enhance quality control and improve system flexibility.

DONGS has achieved true "multi-functional integration" by continuously optimizing machine tool structures and control systems, helping customers break away from the old model of "relying on experience and manpower" and move towards efficient, safe and controllable modern manufacturing.

 

五、Conclusion: A good device is worth the upgrade of the entire production line

Today, while pursuing efficiency, companies also pay more attention to the return on investment and long-term stability of equipment. With its solid structural design, strong processing capabilities and high process integration, DONGS's compound horizontal turning center has become the first choice for many manufacturing companies to complete process upgrades and production line reconstruction.

If you are still worried about too many devices, redundant production lines, and slow processing cycles, it is time to consider using a truly "full-process capable" device to unleash new productivity for your factory.
