Universal milling machines for metal

Details with a complex profile are used in various modern devices. And they are made by various methods - casting, stamping, welding and, of course, cutting. And in this case, milling machines for metal are indispensable. With their help, it is possible to produce roughing, finishing and semi-finishing of parts surfaces, both simple and shaped. And the blanks can be steel and cast-iron, from non-ferrous metals and plastics. More on many milling machines you can drill, countersink and bore holes. And the use of a turntable or divider head makes it possible to manufacture gears, sprockets, pinion shafts and other gear parts.

Therefore, milling machines for metal can now be found both in a large enterprise, and in a small workshop. They are suitable for single and for mass production. And the rigidity of such units is high enough to ensure high accuracy of processing. A large range of spindle speeds and feeds makes it possible to use various milling and drilling tools. And according to the location of the spindle, the milling machines for metal can be vertical and horizontal. Also at factories where there is a need to produce large batches of identical parts with high quality processing, use the copying and milling models. A carousel milling machine makes it possible to make the processing continuous.

So, for example, in the post-Soviet space the universal milling machine for metal model 6Р12 was popular. However, it can be found at many factories and now. But today the machine tool manufacturers produce its more perfect analogue - 6T12, which better meets modern requirements and has more functions. The power of its drives allows you to use a tool that is equipped with plates of solid and synthetic superhard alloys, as well as cutters from high-speed steel. Still this milling machine for metal, the price of which corresponds to its quality, has a rotary spindle head. With its help (through the mechanism of manual axial feed), it is possible to process holes that are located at an angle of up to 45 degrees to the plane of the table.

Milling machines for metal of this type have high productivity, durability and reliability. They have high quality and precision processing. These units have individual lubrication of the guides and automated lubrication of the units. Especially these functions are suitable for large-scale production. Such machines have a mechanism designed for proportional slowing of feeds. A tool holder in the machine spindle is mechanical. In addition, the coordinate movement is controlled by electromagnetic clutches. Another similar device brakes the spindle when it stops, and the overload drive is protected by a mechanical safety clutch. Also, such a machine is responsible for safety. And in this regard, it has a protective device that protects the milling cutter from flying chips.
