how to distinguish between single-station and multi-station CNC machine tools? - Finally got it！

#machine #cnc #manufacturing Understanding the difference between single-station and multi-station in multi-power head CNC machine tools mainly lies in the movement and processing sequence of the workpiece. In multi-power head CNC machine tools, although one-time clamping may be used to complete multiple processing tasks, the difference between single-station and multi-station is whether the workpiece completes all processing tasks in one station or multiple stations in turn during the processing: Multi-station combination machine tool: 8457300000 In a multi-station combination machine tool, the workpiece usually needs to be moved to different stations (i.e. different positions or platforms) for processing. Each station may be equipped with a different power head, and each power head is dedicated to one or several processing operations (such as drilling, milling, etc.). In this way, the workpiece moves between different stations, and each station processes the workpiece in sequence a
