Okuma America Corporation offers its Turn-Cut function, which allows for processing work on horizontal machining centers (HMCs) without the need to use secondary machinery for a turning application. Turn-Cut is available as an option on Okuma's MA and MB series of HMCs and, in some cases, can also be retrofitted to an existing Okuma machining center.
"Turn-Cut is a programming option available on Okuma HMCs that allows the machine to create bores and diameters that include circular and/or angular features," said a company spokesperson. "This enables users to turn features on large, unbalanced parts on the same platform where standard CNC machining functions are performed, eliminating the need to purchase special-purpose machines, tooling, fixtures or add-on components. Adding the Turn-Cut functionality to a machining center does not interfere with performance or longevity of the machine, and often enhances performance with the addition of abso-scales and in some cases, Super-NURBS."
Cutting is performed on an HMC with the Turn-Cut function by synchronizing the circular motion of the feed axis with the spindle's turning angle (tool tip position control). The surfaces created by Turn-Cut can be either on the outside or inside diameter of the machined part.
