Milling machines, developed since the 1860s, are the most versatile and versatile machine tools because they have the ability to perform various cutting operations. Many milling machines have many functions that can be used. Column milling machines are the most common and commonly used General purpose machining. The spindle to which the milling cutter is connected can be horizontal (slab milling) or longitudinal (for milling).
Bed-type milling machines are generally installed on the bed and can move not only in the longitudinal direction. These machines are simple and rigid to build and are used for high-volume production. The spindle type can be horizontal or vertical and can be two-phase or three-cylinder type, that is, two or three spindles can process part of two or three surfaces at the same time. Other types of milling machines are also available, such as planer types for heavy work, or used as machines for special purposes.
The milling machine can use a variety of milling cutters, such as: bar milling cutters, circular milling cutters, angle milling cutters, which can be used for milling planes, bevels, grooves, etc. If you use universal milling heads, round tables, indexing heads and other milling machine accessories, you can expand the processing range of the machine tool. When the machine tool has sufficient rigidity and power, and has strong processing capabilities, it can carry out high-speed and heavy-load cutting work and gear processing. It is suitable for heavy and large-scale machining such as special steel processing of molds, mining equipment, industrial equipment and so on.
The worktable of the universal milling machine can rotate 45° to the left and right. When the worktable rotates at a certain angle and the indexing head attachment is used, various spiral surfaces can be processed.
