How is the milling machine structured?
At the present time, the mechanical industry is one of the most developped industries today, although is it industry that has been around for along time. Reffering to the mechanical industry, no one is unfamiliar with words such as milling machine, lathe, planer, … With today’s article Cosmovina will give you basic information and structure of milling machines.
What is the milling machine like?
The milling machine are are versatile machining machines because they can both be used for milling flat surfaces and for machining complex profiled surfaces. Besides, the milling machine can also be used to drill, cut, cut gears, process grooves on the surface of the parts to be processed.
Milling machines alway use a variety of milling cutters to remove metal from the workpiece. Furthermore, at the top of the milling machine there is a motion feed for the spindle to move up and down. The table is provided with X, Y, Z axes. And the best practice is to adjust the Z axis after moving to Y axis, X axis.
Once the machine shaft is in position, stop the machine from running and use a wedge lock to lock it in place.
Today’s popular milling machines all have automatic feeders from one or more axes. And they will have a speed control knob to control the power supply. The automatic tool table will produce more beautiful surfaces than conventional manual tooling. For long cuts, using an automatic knife table will reduce the labor force.
Structure of the milling machine
Each type of milling machine will have different structures, but all milling machines have the following main parts:
– Machine base
– Machine body
– Ministry of cantilever
– Horizontal/vertical machine table
– Horizontal body
– Tool mandrel
– Tool mandrel holder
– Sliding waves (horizontal, vertical, vertical)
– Lead screw (horizontal, vertical, vertical)
– Hand crank (horizontal, vertical, vertical)
– Clutch lever (horizontal, vertical, vertical)
– Main motor
– Spindle gear reducer
Spindle
Auxiliary motor (depending on machine)
Auxiliary motor reducer box
Switch box
Pumping cold fluids
Travel switch (horizontal, vertical, vertical)
Classification of popular milling machines today
Classification of milling machines by spindle
According to the spindle, there are two types of milling machines:
Vertical milling machine: is a type of machine whose main axis is perpendicular to the table
Horizontal milling machine: will have a spindle parallel to the table.
Classification of milling machines according to table structure
According to machine structure, milling machines are classified into the following 4 types:
Cantilever milling machine: is a machine with a table structure along the horizontal table and supported by a cantilever platform. The cantilever platform will be moved manually or controlled by an electric motor.
Fixed body milling machine: is a type of milling machine with a fixed body, the table only moves vertically or horizontally. The vertical direction is the movement of the tool head.
Horizontal body milling machine: is a type of machine with a horizontal body located on the body
Bed milling machine: is a large stationary milling machine, the machine has horizontal portals with many tool heads
Classification of milling machines by machine use
With the use of milling machines, there are 2 types
Universal milling machine
Specialized milling machine: is a specialized machine for machining a certain surface type.
Classification by control system
According to the control system, there are two types of milling machines:
Traditional milling machine: This type of machine has been around for a long time and whether it is good or not depends on the skill of the worker.
CNC milling machine: is a machine capable of cutting motion along at least two machine axes at the same time.
The above article has summarized the necessary information as well as the structure of the milling machine for you. Hopefully the information Cosmovina brings will help you make the right choices. Do not hesitate to contact Cosmo Vietnam immediately for advice and to meet your needs.
