What does a milling machine do

Machining plane, groove, also can process a variety of curved surface, gear, etc.

A milling machine is a machine tool for milling the workpiece with a milling cutter. The main motion through the milling cutter is the rotary motion and the movement of the workpiece and the milling cutter is the feed motion.

Milling machine in addition to milling plane, groove, tooth parts, spiral surface, spline shaft, etc., but also can process more complex surface, in addition, can also be used for the surface of the rotary body, inner hole processing and cutting work.

The milling machine is at wor

The workpiece is mounted on the workbench or the accessories of the first degree, the milling cutter rotation is the main movement, supplemented by the feed movement of the workbench or milling head, the workpiece can obtain the required machining surface.

Because it is multi-edge discontinuous cutting, the productivity of milling machine is higher. Simply put, a milling machine is a machine for milling, drilling, and boring work pieces.

In hardware accessories, mechanical parts, molds, automation machinery is widely used.

The difference between milling machine and lathe:

Rotary machines such as milling machines and drilling machines are drawn from lathes. Lathe is the workpiece rotating tool fixed longitudinal transverse cutting motion processing round and surface. Milling machine is the blank fixed, the parts through the three grab chuck clamped on the machine spindle.

Milling machine mainly refers to the milling cutter on a variety of workpiece surface processing machine. In general, the milling cutter is mainly moved by rotating motion, and the movement of workpiece and milling cutter is the feed motion.

It can be processed plane, groove, also can be processed a variety of curved surface, gear and so on. A milling machine is a machine tool for milling the workpiece with a milling cutter.

In addition to milling plane, groove, tooth, thread and spline shaft, milling machine can also process more complex profile, higher efficiency than planer, widely used in machinery manufacturing and repair department.

It can be said that the milling machine is a kind of widely used machine, in the milling machine can be processed plane, groove, tooth parts, spiral surface and various curved surfaces.

Because it is multi-edge discontinuous cutting, the productivity of milling machine is higher. Simply put, a milling machine is a machine for milling, drilling and boring work pieces.
