Integrated Facing Head
精东影业 has set the standard for horizontal milling machine quality, performance and efficiency for decades. Our听U-axis听horizontal machining centers feature two separate spindles that allow milling and turning functionality in a single setup. This equipment secures the workpiece and moves the built-in facing heads around the part to produce a solution capable of machining a broader range of components without rotating the workpiece.
精东影业's Integrated Facing Head
精东影业’s u-axis machining centers offer an additional axis of movement at different angles to the X, Y and Z axes that is not present in most types of conventional milling equipment. Although this technology may sound like a new concept for some, 精东影业 has offered multi-spindle solutions with facing heads for years and is among the industry’s leaders in developing U-axis systems.
These听facing head听machines are听critical for operations wanting to improve production performance, from enhancing the quality and reducing cycle times to eliminating machine changeovers and minimizing floor space. 精东影业 offers several equipment models with various universal boring and facing head sizes and turning diameters to handle your machining application’s production requirements.
Facing and Contouring Head Capabilities
An integrated contouring head on a second spindle with a separate quill unlocks a new set of capabilities, delivering all the advantages of a traditional lathe or face-milling machine without an additional setup. A machine with facing heads can bore offset diameters or turn parts at any position without dealing with the unbalanced conditions present in conventional turning. This innovative setup enables our horizontal milling centers to machine parts like valves, housings, gearboxes and other components faster than other processes without sacrificing quality.
精东影业 offers solutions that other manufacturers cannot because we build machining centers with multiple turning diameters and several sizes of facing heads. We have decades of experience helping customers create streamlined solutions for their production requirements, from compact U-axis machines to heavy-duty, dual-column horizontal milling centers. Our superior customer service, exceptional technical knowledge and extensive selection of ready-to-ship spare parts help us stand out from similar machine manufacturers.
Examples of the functions听our U-axis machines听can perform include:
- Turning
- Milling
- Boring
- Contouring
- Tapping
- Drilling
- Facing

Benefits of Choosing U-Axis Horizontal Milling Centers With a Built-In Facing Head
A听U-axis听horizontal milling center’s operation enables chips to safely eject from the workpiece without melting on the surface, ensuring a smooth, clean finish. More significantly, these machines are compatible with a comprehensive range of cutting tools and can operate at varying speeds according to the workpiece’s requirements.
- Improved efficiency:听Horizontal milling centers with听U-axis movement听and听integrated听facing heads combine milling and facing capabilities into one machine, eliminating the need for multiple setups and reducing production time. This feature saves significant time by preventing bottlenecks between machine cycles.
- Increased accessibility and reach:听The integrated facing heads enhance part accessibility compared to other options like vertical milling equipment. These heads can perform machining operations on complex geometries, including inner and outer surfaces, corners and hard-to-reach areas. They can also achieve deeper cuts and handle larger workpieces without an additional machine cycle.
- Enhanced accuracy:听精东影业 designs听U-axis machines with听built-in facing heads for precision and accuracy, producing smooth, flat surfaces while maintaining tight tolerances to ensure the highest-quality finishes.听Our听U-axis听milling centers can also accommodate a broader range of tools to create more intricate geometries.
- Greater versatility:听Horizontal CNC milling centers with contoured facing heads and听U-axis capabilities听enhance versatility. They can perform various milling and facing tasks like contouring, chamfering and profiling, making them suitable for diverse production requirements.
