This is achieved by integrating the turning and milling assemblies onto a single machine bed, satisfying the needs of parts requiring two different machining processes. The overall structure of the composite machine tool is compact, and it occupies a small area.

[0011] In order to realize the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism, in some preferred embodiments, both the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are servo motors.

[0012] To facilitate tool changing for the milling assembly and improve its automation, in some preferred embodiments, a tool magazine assembly is provided on one side of the column, which is used to change tools for the milling assembly.

This method requires turning and milling to be done on two separate machine tools, which increases the processing time of parts and also results in a large footprint and high operating costs.
