The CATO C1100 five-axis milling and turning compound center redefines efficient manufacturing with an ultra-high precision of ±0.003mm! The self-developed C80 Plus system enables 3000 lines per second of program pre-reading and is directly driven by a torque motor to the swing head, eliminating transmission clearance. It is suitable for automotive parts and precision molds. A single clamping can complete the milling, drilling, boring, tapping and turning processes. The tool change only takes 10 seconds, and the production capacity is increased by 25%. Empower flexible production of multiple varieties and small batches, and lead the intelligent upgrade of Industry 4.0.
Amid the global manufacturing transformation toward "flexible production + precision manufacturing," demand for small-batch multi-variety production and integrated complex part machining continues to surge. According to Gartner, by 2025, 5-axis equipment with milling-turning capabilities will comprise over 35% of the global smart machine tool market, becoming core production assets in automotive components and precision mold sectors.
Against this backdrop, CATO Precision Machinery's C1100 5-axis swivel head milling-turning center redefines efficient precision manufacturing standards through dual breakthroughs in high-rigidity structure and intelligent control systems.
Solving Industry Pain Points: From "Multi-Machine Workflow" to "Single Setup"
Current machining of complex cavity parts (e.g., automotive steering knuckles, mold cavities) faces challenges like "precision loss from multi-process transfers" and "excessive setup time." One automotive parts manufacturer calculated that traditional machining requires 3 machines and 5 setups for a new flange model, accumulating 0.03mm positioning errors over 4+ hours.
The C1100 achieves "complete processing in one setup" via 5-axis synchronization + milling-turning capabilities:
Its self-developed HSK-A63/A100 motorized spindle paired with HSK-T63 turning spindle (15,000rpm) performs milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and turning at one station, maintaining ±0.003mm repeatability.
The herringbone-pattern column + trapezoidal bed structure, optimized via FEA, increases bending/torsional strength by 40%. Combined with the surface-hardened table (rationally distributed slide span), it maintains stability during 30m/min rapid traverse and heavy cutting, eliminating vibration-induced dimensional deviations.
Technical Core: Dual Empowerment of Intelligence and Precision
1.C80 Plus Autonomous System: Simplifying Complex Machining
15-inch display dynamically shows tool paths
3,000-block/second program pre-reading + 4GB storage capacity
"High-precision trajectory control" and "smooth tool-tip control" reduce contour errors by 50%
Smart diagnostics cut maintenance response time by 60%
2.Torque Motor Direct Drive: Zero-Backlash Precision
Eliminates mechanical transmission gaps and wear
≤65dB noise and ≤3μm vibration during high acceleration
Achieves Ra0.8μm surface finish on propellers and complex cavities, meeting aerospace standards.
Scenario Adaptation: From Flexible Prototyping to Mass Production
With its 24-tool magazine (10s T-T change) and heavy-duty worktable (supports large workpieces), the C1100 handles both:
Multi-variety prototyping (30% faster changeovers)
Automated mass production lines
A mold manufacturer case study shows:
25% higher shift output for injection mold cavities
20% lower tool wear
Rework rate dropped from 8% to 1.5%
Conclusion
In today's smart manufacturing era, the C1100 bridges "high precision" and "high efficiency" through its triple advantages: structural rigidity, intelligent control, and compound machining. Whether machining lightweight automotive components or complex mold cavities, it redefines industry efficiency standards—delivering "labor-light, precision-focused, rapid-response" production solutions globally.
