Design and Development of Reconfigurable Desktop Type Turn-Milling Compound Teaching Machine Tool

Aiming at solving the problems of limited function in teaching equipments, high purchase investment and multiple students sharing one equipment in the practice of metal machining and the training of mechanical courses for mechanical engineering students, a miniaturized, multi-functional, reconfigurable, open, desktop design method for turn-milling compound teaching machining have been proposed, which can realize the integration of turning, milling, turn-milling, drilling, grinding and other process capability. A teaching machine tool prototype have also been developed, which has the characteristic of multiple functions, modularization and low cost. It has strong operability and can carry out basic, comprehensive and innovative training experiments for mechanical engineering majors, which can also be extended to the experimental teaching in domestic and foreign colleges.
