4. Multi-Tasking Machining Defined
Ability to perform various manufacturing operations without manual intervention
Can complete all operations required to manufacture part in single machine setup
Allow industries to change manufacturing processes to improve productivity

5. Purpose of Multi-Tasking Machines
Reduce number of machine tools required to manufacture a part to one
Advantages
Fewer machines required
Parts not moved from machine to machine
Parts more accurate
Overall cycle time greatly reduced
Increased flexibility to handle parts
Improves cash flow

6. Types of Multi-Tasking Machines
Wide variety
Basic model
Single-spindle, single vertical turret machine
Most comprehensive model
Twin turning spindles and twin machining turrets
Sample: Mazak Integrex Model 200-III
Two spindles for front and back operations
Lower turret: 9 tools, Upper turret: tools

7. Machining a Complex Part
First process
Grip part in pre-bored chuck jaws (left spindle)
Turning, milling and drilling done on part extending
Automatically transfer part from first spindle to second spindle
Finished right hand of part now in second spindle jaws
Second process
All turning, milling and drilling on unfinished left-hand end of part
