Purpose of Evaluation Turn-mill machining squeezes multiple operations into a single machine, shortening cycle time but lengthening the error chain. Process evaluation is the virtual rehearsal of the entire machining cycle in digital space to find bottlenecks, collisions, over-cuts or residual-stress hot spots—eliminating costly trial cuts and downtime. [JSWAY Solution] JSWAY CNC provides the JS-CAM evaluation service: upload your part model and receive a complete process-simulation report that exposes the vast majority of hidden risks before metal is cut.
Three Evaluation Pillars Process Logic: Do we turn first or mill first? How should roughing and finishing be staged? These decisions govern tool paths, clamping strategies and cutting-force balance. Equipment Boundaries: Are the machine’s axes, strokes, power and coolant capacity sufficient? Any shortfall can magnify into quality issues during continuous cutting. Flexible Interfaces: Can modular tools, quick-change fixtures and in-process probes be integrated smoothly? They dictate change-over time and the reliability of on-line monitoring. [JSWAY Solution] The JTMX turn-mill center features a high-power built-in spindle, simultaneous Y/B/C axes and twin servo turrets with generous power and stroke margins, making the evaluation boundaries a one-time fit.
Common Evaluation Methods Digital Twin: A kinematic model of the machine is built in CAM to simulate tool paths, cutting loads and thermal distortion, flagging interference or chatter risks in advance. Trial Cut & Compare: Run the full program on a sample of identical material and size, then compare the result with the theoretical model via CMM or laser scanning to verify residual error patterns. In-Machine Sensors: Real-time acquisition of spindle current, vibration and temperature is streamed to a cloud model that automatically adjusts feed and coolant, enabling evaluation while machining. [JSWAY Solution] JSWAY machines stream multi-dimensional sensor data in real time; a cloud AI model delivers tool-life forecasts and thermal-compensation suggestions so evaluation and optimization occur together.
Post-Evaluation Optimization Loop Interference detected → adjust tool length or turret angle; thermal drift detected → write compensation tables into the CNC; insufficient tool life detected → switch to a more wear-resistant grade in advance. Every correction is logged in a private process cloud, ready for reuse on identical parts, driving evaluation cost down and benefit up. [JSWAY Solution] JSWAY builds a dedicated process cloud for each customer, automatically archiving all evaluation data, optimized parameters and tool lists, drastically shortening change-over time and pushing first-piece yield to top-tier levels.
Ongoing Value Systematic evaluation transforms turn-mill centers from “seemingly capable” to “truly capable”: cycle time under control, accuracy predictable, risks foreseeable, enabling seamless switching between high-mix/low-volume and high-volume/high-quality production.
