[0033] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the right side structure of the CNC lathe in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a CNC lathe with milling and turning capabilities includes a saddle 1, on which an inclined surface A and a horizontal surface B are provided. A first spindle mechanism 2 is provided on the left side of the horizontal surface B, and a second spindle mechanism 3 opposite to the first spindle mechanism 2 is provided on the right side of the inclined surface A, along with a Z-axis motion device 41 for controlling the movement of the second spindle mechanism 3 along the Z-axis. A second turret 5 is provided on the right side of the horizontal surface B, along with a three-dimensional motion mechanism 6 for controlling the movement of the second turret 5 relative to the first spindle mechanism 2 or the second spindle mechanism 3 along three axes. A first turret 7 is provided on the left side of the inclined surface A, along with a two-dimensional motion mechanism 8 for controlling the movement of the first turret 7 relative to the first spindle mechanism 2 or the second spindle mechanism 3 along the Z-axis and X-axis.

[0036] This CNC lathe can move and process workpieces independently through two sets of spindles and tool turrets. The second tool turret can virtually insert the Y-axis structure, so that the first tool turret 7 and the second tool turret 5 can also process the workpiece on the first spindle at the same time, realizing milling and turning compound operation. Moreover, after the second spindle is connected to the workpiece of the first spindle, it can continue to process the back of the workpiece, eliminating the need for manual unloading and material changing, and improving the processing efficiency of the CNC lathe.

[0037] The milling and turning operation of a CNC lathe includes the following steps:

[0038] Processing step 1: The first spindle mechanism 2 fixes the long shaft type workpiece, and the two-dimensional motion mechanism 8 drives the first turret 7 to mill the head of the workpiece.

[0039] Processing step two: If necessary, the three-dimensional motion mechanism 6 drives the second turret 5 and the first turret 7 to simultaneously mill the workpiece head on the first spindle mechanism 2.

[0040] Processing step 3: After the head of the workpiece is milled by the first spindle mechanism 2, the second spindle mechanism 3 connects to the workpiece of the first spindle mechanism 2. Then, the second turret 5 is responsible for cutting off the workpiece and transferring the cut workpiece to the second spindle mechanism 3. The first spindle mechanism 2 fixes the new workpiece. At this time, the first turret 7 mills the head of the new workpiece, while the second turret 5 mills the tail of the old workpiece.

[0041] Processing step four: The finished workpiece is removed from the second spindle mechanism 3 by manual labor or a robotic arm, and then reconnected to the workpiece of the first spindle mechanism 2. The above steps are repeated during this process.
