Automatic Loading & Unloading CNC Turning-Milling Machine

In today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment, labor costs continue to rise while customers demand higher precision, greater consistency, and faster delivery times. To address these challenges, automatic machining solutions that combine turning, milling, and intelligent loading systems have become a key trend in modern factories.

Jiakun Machinery, with more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, proudly introduces its Automatic Loading Turn-Mill Machining System, designed to help manufacturers reduce labor dependence, improve machining efficiency, and achieve stable, high-precision mass production.

This solution integrates bar feeding systems, CNC turn-mill machines, and gantry robot unloading, forming a complete, reliable, and scalable automation line for a wide range of metal parts.

1. Overview of the Automatic Loading Turn-Mill System

The Jiakun automatic loading turn-mill solution is a fully integrated machining system that combines:

• Automatic bar feeder for raw material loading

• CNC turning and milling compound machining

• Gantry robot for automatic unloading

• Intelligent control and safety protection systems

From raw material feeding to finished part unloading, the entire process can be completed with minimal human intervention, making it ideal for continuous production, night shifts, and high-volume manufacturing.

This system is widely used in industries such as:

• Automotive components

• Bicycle and e-bike parts

• Hardware and fasteners

• Hydraulic and pneumatic fittings

• Precision mechanical components

2. Automatic Bar Feeder: Stable and Continuous Raw Material Supply

At the front end of the system, a high-performance bar feeder is used to automatically feed metal bars into the CNC turn-mill machine.

Key Advantages of the Bar Feeding System:

• Compatible with various bar diameters and materials

• Continuous feeding for long, unattended operation

• Stable feeding accuracy to ensure machining consistency

• Reduced manual loading and operator fatigue

By using an automatic bar feeder, operators no longer need to manually load raw materials, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving production continuity.

3. Turn-Mill Compound Machining: High Precision and Process Integration

The core of the system is the CNC turn-mill compound machine, which integrates turning and milling operations in a single setup.

Benefits of Turn-Mill Machining:

• Complete multiple processes in one clamping

• Reduce positioning errors caused by multiple setups

• Improve dimensional accuracy and surface finish

• Shorten overall production cycle time

With optimized machine structure, rigid casting components, and high-precision spindles, Jiakun turn-mill machines ensure long-term stability and repeatable precision, even in high-speed or heavy-duty cutting conditions.

4. Gantry Robot Unloading: Efficient, Safe, and Consistent

After machining is completed, finished parts are automatically removed by a gantry robot unloading system.

Advantages of Gantry Robot Unloading:

• High-speed and repeatable motion accuracy

• Stable operation suitable for long-term continuous work

• Reduced risk of human error or injury

• Easy integration with conveyors or inspection stations

Compared with manual unloading or simple robotic arms, gantry robots offer greater rigidity, higher payload capacity, and better positioning accuracy, making them ideal for CNC automation lines.

5. Significant Labor Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

One of the most important benefits of the Jiakun automatic loading turn-mill system is its ability to dramatically reduce labor costs.

Traditional Production vs. Automated Production:

• Traditional setup: multiple operators for loading, unloading, and monitoring

• Automated setup: one operator can supervise multiple machines

This leads to:

• Reduced direct labor costs

• Lower dependency on skilled operators

• Improved workforce allocation

• Increased production output per employee

By minimizing manual operations, factories can achieve cost reduction and efficiency enhancement (cost-down & efficiency-up) at the same time.

6. High Stability for Long-Term Unattended Operation

Stability is critical for automated machining systems. Jiakun Machinery places strong emphasis on system reliability and long-term stability.

Stability Design Features:

• Rigid machine bed and stress-relieved cast iron structure

• Proven mechanical components and industrial-grade controllers

• Optimized chip removal and coolant systems

• Comprehensive safety interlocks and fault monitoring

These features allow the system to operate 24/7 with minimal downtime, making it especially suitable for lights-out manufacturing.

7. Intelligent Control and Easy Integration

The automatic loading turn-mill system is designed for easy operation and flexible integration.

• Friendly CNC and HMI interfaces

• Real-time monitoring of machining and loading status

• Easy parameter adjustment for different products

• Can be integrated with MES, conveyors, or inspection equipment

Whether you are upgrading an existing production line or building a new automated workshop, Jiakun solutions can be customized to match your production needs.
