All about car tuning

CNC vertical milling machines. A vertical milling machine is a common unit for high-quality metalworking. A vertical milling machine has moved a slab

When manufacturing various metal parts, it is almost impossible to do without using. Which is convenient milling machine for metal work, it is equally successfully used both in industrial conditions and in home workshops. It should be noted that equipment of this category is the most common in the field of metalworking.

Almost all modifications milling equipment they work on a similar principle and have a similar design. The differences between the models of such machines may lie in their functionality, which is formed by adding additional components and systems to their design.

Types of milling machines

Let us list the main types of milling machines, each variety of which is sometimes very significantly different from its counterparts and has a lot of differences in design and operational purpose.

Vertical milling

A fairly common type of machine in this category is a vertical milling machine. The working tools for such machines are shaped, cylindrical, end mills, and drilling operations can also be performed. A vertical milling machine allows you to perform the following technological operations: processing gears and various grooves, corners, frame elements, vertical and horizontal surfaces on parts made of various metals.

Milling machines of this type do not have a console in their design, and their work table moves along guides located on the equipment frame. The vertical type machine, due to its design features, is characterized by high rigidity, which makes it possible to process metal parts with high level quality. The gearbox of such a milling machine is located in the spindle head.

Vertical milling machines are divided into two categories, distinguished by the presence of a console in the design. Their names are respectively:

  • non-cantilever vertical milling machines;
  • vertical cantilever milling machines.

With a console, it differs in that its spindle and sleeve can move relative to the axis of the equipment. The differences in their design can be clearly seen in the photo.

Horizontal milling

A horizontal milling machine is notable for the fact that its spindle is located in a horizontal plane. The equipment of this group allows processing parts that have small overall dimensions. The versatility of this machine is ensured by the fact that end, cylindrical, shaped, end and corner cutters are used as working tools. A horizontal milling machine in its standard configuration does not make it possible to process a part along a screw surface; for this it must be equipped with auxiliary devices.

The design of machines of the horizontal milling group allows their work table to be installed parallel, as well as perpendicular to the spindle axis. All working and power units of this equipment are located on the frame, and the gearbox, which controls the spindle rotation speed, is located in its inner part.

Drilling and milling

Machines belonging to the drilling and milling category are designed for processing not only horizontal and vertical surfaces, but also inclined ones. They are also used to process grooves of large parts.

This metal milling machine has a drilling and milling head that allows you to perform drilling operations at an angle and process surfaces located at an angle to the horizontal axis. A distinctive feature of this machine is that its working head can operate in reverse mode.

Due to their versatility, due to the ability to carry out the two most popular operations, such machines are very profitable from an economic point of view, as well as in terms of saving space on the production site. Few home craftsmen would also refuse to have such a machine at home, since such a device combines several effective and useful devices in its design.

Universal

Such machines for metal work are very convenient to use for equipping private workshops or small workshops specializing in mechanical repair work. Universal machines allow processing of horizontal and vertical planes, as well as spiral surfaces and stamps.

This metal cutting machine is distinguished by a number of design features: the spindle assembly, the box, as well as the main components are located in the inner part of the bed. The design of the machine provides vertical and horizontal guides along which its console and work table move. In addition, the working surface can be adjusted in relation to the equipment spindle at the desired angle, which allows it to be used to process metal parts with even the most complex configuration.

Tabletop

Such very compact equipment, installed at home, in workshops, educational institutions and in small production workshops, allows you to perform various technological operations: cutting threads, drilling holes, processing all kinds of parts and materials with various types of cutters, etc.

This type is distinguished by good accuracy, since their design has exceptional rigidity (of course, with proper installation). These cantilever milling machines are distinguished by their high productivity, which makes it possible to use them for the production of products in serial batches. Despite their high productivity and wide functionality, such machines are distinguished by low energy consumption and compact dimensions, which allows them to be conveniently placed even in a small area.

CNC milling

This type of device is actively used in all kinds of industries for the mass production of high-quality parts. CNC machines are highly productive and are capable of providing unsurpassed quality not in a single copy, but on a production line, which makes them indispensable equipment in any serious production. The differences between such machines and all other types of milling machines are so significant that they require a detailed analysis in a separate article.

CNC machines, which process parts made of various metals with high productivity and accuracy, have one big drawback: a decent cost, but it is fully compensated by the following positive factors:

  1. reducing the need for qualified specialists in production;
  2. high productivity relative to manually operated machines;
  3. reduction of production cycle times;
  4. accelerating the transition to the production of new products.

CNC

The difference between such devices and the previous type of milling machines lies in even greater versatility, even higher accuracy and speed of operation. The range of work that such devices can perform includes a huge list of operations and processes that are in demand in the most high-tech and critical industries. Modern software Large global companies produce for machining centers. The work of machining centers will be discussed in detail in a separate article.

Benchtop CNC

A separate category consists of types of milling machines equipped with CNC (computer numerical control). Such equipment belongs to the professional category; its operation is controlled by special controllers that must be connected to a computer device. Just like other types of milling machines, CNC models can perform various technological operations on metal: drilling, countersinking, boring, etc.

Widely versatile

Having such a machine at your disposal, you can perform any type of milling operations with almost any material. If we compare a horizontal milling machine and a device widely universal type, then its main difference is that its design includes an additional spindle head, which is installed on a special movable trunk and has the ability to rotate at any angle in relation to the workpiece.

Conveniently, both spindles of such a machine can process parts both jointly and autonomously. Another overhead milling head can also be installed on the rotary head, with which you can process metal parts of an even more complex configuration - drill, boring, countersinking, etc.

There are also models of widely universal machines that do not have a console panel in their design. Instead, a carriage is installed that moves along vertical guides. The vertical slide of this carriage can accommodate various devices (for example, an index table). Such machines are somewhat cheaper, but are also capable of performing a fairly large list of technological tasks.

When choosing a milling group machine, you first need to decide what it is needed for. This approach to choosing equipment will give you the opportunity to purchase it in full accordance with your needs, and also not overpay for those functions that you will never need.

Operating principle of milling machines

Almost all milling machines operate on the same principle. The only differences can be in their functionality.

The main structural elements of such machines are: a supporting frame, a work table, clamping elements, a collet and a collet chuck in which the working tool is fixed, a portal with a spindle fixed to it, which can move, and a drive electric motor.

The working tool of any milling machine is a cutter, the design and dimensions of which depend on the configuration of the part to be processed. The working tool is fixed in the collet chuck using a shank, and rotation is transmitted to it from the drive electric motor through a gear system. The main purpose of the cutter is to remove an excess layer of metal from the workpiece, which, in fact, is the essence of processing on such a machine.

The machine spindle is placed on a movable portal, the movements of which are controlled by special controllers in the case of CNC equipment. The electronic system of such equipment includes CNC (computer numerical control) controllers, auxiliary system elements and connecting parts. The operating principle of CNC machine models is as follows: a special program reads the drawings of the part that needs to be obtained as a result of processing, generates electronic commands that are transmitted to the working part of the machine.

Widely universal machines, which are a hybrid of horizontal and vertical models, deserve special attention. Their design also includes a collet, collet chuck and clamps, but the gearbox of such machines transmits all movements from a single electric motor. Their distinctive feature is the presence of a manual mode, with which you can control the operation of the running unit.

Example of a kinematic diagram (cantilever milling machine)

Additional elements have five-axis and engraving equipment in their design. Such equipment is equipped with additional clamping elements that allow you to install an engraver on it. The tool of such equipment rotates due to the cardan shaft, with which it is directly connected to the electric motor.

The simplest in design are manual metal milling machines. Such equipment has low power, and its design consists of a collet with a collet chuck, a rotor, a drive head and an electric motor. Naturally, the functionality of such a machine is also limited: it can be used to perform only the simplest milling operations.

The service life of a manual milling group machine is also low and amounts to no more than 10,000 hours. The weakest components in such equipment, which are the first to fail, are the collet and collet chuck, clamps, attachment and spindle. But its low reliability and durability are fully compensated by its low cost. It makes sense to purchase it if you plan to use it irregularly.

Cost of machines

The classification of milling machines according to their cost is quite extensive. Naturally, the cheapest on this list are models from Chinese manufacturers. You can save even more on purchasing such equipment if you buy it not through intermediaries, but directly from manufacturers. What is convenient, manufacturers from China offer both the simplest manual machines, and professional, equipped with CNC. If we consider the minimum price range, it varies between 7,000–35,000 rubles.

Chinese desktop drilling and milling machine Triod MMS-20E (cost about 60 thousand rubles)

A vertical machine will cost you quite a lot; the cost of such equipment starts from 20,000 rubles. Moreover, at this price you will purchase a machine with the simplest configuration: collet and collet chuck, clamps, attachment, spindle.

If you are planning to purchase a highly versatile machine for your manufacturing enterprise, then get ready for the fact that the price of such equipment starts from 250,000 rubles. Milling machines for metal work, which are equipped with CNC, cost starting from 2 million rubles.

In any case, if you set a goal, you can purchase a high-quality metal milling machine of a serial model at a very attractive price.

A good option to save on purchasing a milling machine is to purchase a used model. By the way, high-quality equipment of serial models (for example, TV-3 or TV-6) can be purchased at a cost starting from 20,000 rubles. This low price is explained by the fact that industrial enterprises, updating their technical base, sell old machines at a price corresponding to 20–30% of the original cost.

Milling equipment is a whole class of devices that are used for processing flat surfaces, cutting splines and teeth, creating profiles and drilling holes. With the help of such equipment you can perform work like woodworking or polymer material, and for various metals.

The cutter is set at a specific angle, and vertical milling machines are widely used in manufacturing to process automobile parts, furniture assembly items, construction products and other items. Such devices are distinguished by ease of design, performance and versatility of use.

Design and purpose of a vertical milling machine

Structurally, vertical milling machines are divided into two categories:

  1. Console machines. They are equipped with a working surface, which is rigidly fixed to the body and can move along guides and vertical slides relative to the spindle.

  2. Machines without console. With their help, you can process large-sized workpieces, the process is performed at high speed. The design has an automatic guiding system, the spindle has a high-speed structure and runs vertically.

Vertical milling machine for metal

Milling work on metal requires high strength in the lateral part of the drilling, so machines designed for such actions are distinguished by carbide parts and high electric drive power.

The basis is a frame that accepts load-bearing loads; a spindle is located on the axis in a vertical projection. Also, in most cases, machine tools for metal processing have a console, workpiece clamps and a feed box for the speed of movement of the part. Some models do not have a console; a number of machines are equipped with CNC: they usually cost more.

Vertical wood milling machine

For processing wooden workpieces, special machines can be used, which are compact, have good performance, low price and functionality.

In such devices, the spindle is installed vertically; in some models it has a movable structure for tilting the workpiece. The cutter can be replaced without special tools. Most woodworking machines have an electric motor and require a 220 or 380 V connection.

Modern models may differ in milling speed, maximum size of the workpiece, and processing quality wooden surface. Wood machines can also be used when working with plastic, polyamide, plastic and other lightweight materials.

CNC vertical milling machines

Many models are equipped with CNC – a mechanism that makes it possible to control basic processes in real time and provides the most accurate and convenient control.

Such machines have the following advantages:

  • relatively small dimensions;

  • high quality processing, excellent accuracy;

  • productivity, possibility of high-speed processing of materials;

  • ease of setup;

  • unpretentiousness in maintenance.

A traditional vertical milling machine or a CNC machining center is considered among professionals to be indispensable equipment for processing complex-profile parts.

1

In the described metal installations, the spindle is vertical, the feed is carried out along three axes, and the design and operation of the drive are almost the same as in vertical drilling units.

Vertical milling machine uses different variants milling cutters for processing metal workpieces. The most commonly used tools are shaped, angular, cylindrical and end tools.

The metal cantilever milling machine operates at a high level of quality with the following products:

  • gears;
  • planes (vertical and horizontal);
  • all kinds of products made of cast iron, different grades of steel alloys, non-ferrous metals;
  • any types of molds and stamp models;
  • frames and grooves;
  • keyways.

And a modern cantilever CNC machining center makes it possible to work with more “serious” structures that cannot be produced by other metalworking methods (stamping, casting, cutting, and so on).

The standard technological process on milling units used in domestic enterprises (for example, or) includes three stages:

  • procurement;
  • directly milling;
  • finishing

The last of these steps is usually performed manually. Finishing parts after milling them on machines is considered the most labor-intensive procedure, which significantly increases the cost of processing products. There is only one way to reduce costs - by ensuring high-quality processing of workpieces of simple and complex shapes.

An efficient and reliable milling machine (CNC machining center or traditional vertical machine) can guarantee this quality. Cantilever milling equipment of our days is recommended for small-scale and mass production of complex parts, since in in this case the production process is completely justified from an economic point of view.

A non-cantilever machine (see photo) differs from a console machine in that its cross table is mounted on a fixed type frame. In this case, its surface moves exclusively in the transverse or longitudinal direction. A cantilever vertical unit is often unable to mill heavy and large products, but non-cantilever units cope with them without problems. In addition, feeds on machines without a console are produced by engines in which the choice of the number of revolutions (gears) is stepless.

2

The vertical milling machine, due to its sufficient rigidity and high power of the drives installed on it, makes it possible to work with carbide-type tools. The layout of the units described in the article and shown in the photo, the kinematic diagram of their operation are the same for most Russian and foreign machines.

Feed and speed boxes, which determine the number of machine gears, are located in the frame in which the spindle head is installed. It rotates in a vertical plane, and the spindle axis can be rotated in relation to the plane of the table to perform work operations at the required angle.

The work table is characterized by movement (longitudinal) along the slide guides. The spindle rotation process is the main movement of a cantilever milling machine. The unit slide moves (in the transverse direction) along cantilever guides. The console moves a given distance in the vertical direction along the guides of the frame.

The described kinematic diagram of the movement of different units of milling units allows you to choose one of three directions for feeding the workpieces being processed. And using the gearbox and gearbox, you can select the modes for milling products.

Fixation of parts on conventional cantilever milling machine equipment is carried out using various special and universal devices (conventional machine vices, squares, clamps, prisms, etc.). A CNC machining center (see photo), of course, has a more complex design, and the kinematic diagram of movement, feeding and fastening of workpieces in it has a number of differences. But we will talk about these modern units below.

Dividing heads are of great importance for the operation of the machines under consideration. A cantilever and non-cantilever milling unit with a vertical spindle for metal will not be able to do its job efficiently without these devices. Such heads are necessary for turning (performed periodically) the milled products to the desired angle, as well as for their constant movement (essentially rotation) when processing helical grooves.

The design of the dividing head is simple; it has the following elements:

  • rotary drum;
  • frame;
  • spindle with center.

The spindle has a special thread that allows you to install a driver or a jaw chuck on it. The spindle rotation pattern is also simple - a single-thread worm engages with a toothed worm wheel, this structure is driven by a control lever (handle).

We won't give detailed description gearboxes of vertical milling equipment, talk about the features of feeding workpieces on different machines and transmitting movement to them, since they can be different for each installation. The main thing here is that all these boxes, providing the necessary feeds and gears, guarantee the efficiency of milling work.

Both a “sophisticated” CNC machining center (machine) and a conventional metal milling machine are used to process workpieces different types certain cutters. Horizontal planes, for example, are processed with a face tool, which is characterized by smooth operation in any mode selected using the gearbox and speeds, as well as rigid fixation in the spindle assembly.

Inclined planes are machined with end mills and face mills, but vertical planes are usually milled with an end tool. It is also used for processing various ledges. A vertical milling machine also allows high-quality milling of various grooves:

  • end mills – keyed closed and rectangular grooves;
  • single-angled - dovetail.

Toothed cylindrical wheels are processed with special finger cutters.

To mill surfaces of complex profiles, a CNC vertical milling center is often used these days. But standard equipment also makes it possible to work with such workpieces, which include different kinds sections - concave, convex, straight. In this case, it is important to correctly draw up a diagram and equation to obtain a product with a complex surface with specified roughness indicators.

The above equation for machining cylindrical convex and concave surfaces takes into account the radius of the cutter used and the surface being machined, as well as:

  • feed amount;
  • the height of the scallop that is formed during milling;
  • angle of rotation of the axis of the working tool.

Note that the most significant influence on the level of roughness of the product is exerted by the angle of rotation of the cutter and the feed value. Other indicators have a slight effect on the quality of surface treatment.

5

A traditional vertical milling machine differs from units with numerical control in the level of automation of control of the speed of the working tool and the movement of the working surface during milling. At enterprises engaged in the serial production of products with a curved complex surface, they always use not a simple machine, but a modern machine (machining center) for metal with CNC.

The presented photos show that such equipment has relatively compact dimensions. This allows you to use almost any machining center as part of your existing production line. The machine integrates into it without any problems and performs its tasks.

CNC cantilever milling machines for metal can have the same number of gears as standard installations; their design (boxes, components, mechanisms, etc.) is identical to the design of conventional machines. But at the same time, they are always more automated and require minimal human intervention in their work.

The machining center, which allows you to perform milling work on metal, has a spindle located on its own slide. Due to this, the working device moves around its axis and vertically. The number of gears a machine can have is different; its boxes provide different feed rates. The center, as a rule, allows solving multiple metalworking tasks (threading, countersinking, facing, reaming and others).

The mounting table of such CNC machines is in most cases horizontal, and the spindle is, of course, vertical. The table moves along the X and Y axes along the bed (along its guides), but in the vertical direction it moves through the movement of the headstock (it is called the spindle). There is also a configuration of centers in which the movement of the table along all axes becomes possible due to the movement of the specified headstock.

On units with numerical control, the change of cutters is carried out literally in a split second, their speed and feed boxes are designed to ensure high-speed milling of complex products, and the choice of the necessary gears is handled by the machine itself. All these features determine the demand for CNC centers, where a number of different work operations are carried out during one processing cycle.

Let us highlight one more advantage of computer-controlled machines. It lies in the fact that the unit is easy to equip additional equipment. It is allowed to mount more efficient gearboxes, additional components and special devices that significantly expand the technical capabilities of the vertical milling installation.

A vertical milling machine is designed for the manufacture of complex parts of various configurations. The spindle with the cutting tool of such milling machines is located in a vertical plane, and during the milling process, if necessary, rotates around its axis, milling at different angles relative to the workpiece.

Thus, vertical milling machines are characterized by fairly high versatility, since workpieces made of carbide metals, as well as many other materials, are well suited for milling by such machines.

A CNC vertical milling machine is capable of carrying out milling work simultaneously in the longitudinal and transverse directions using the movement of the slide and table, as well as in the vertical direction due to the movement of cutting tools.

For milling production CNC milling machines are optimally suited for high-precision individual products, as well as for small batch production.

CNC vertical milling machine

CNC vertical milling machines have a number of advantages for small and medium-sized industries:

  • the rigid, heavy design of milling machines allows for precise processing of workpieces;
  • the CNC vertical milling machine is a high-speed, reliable, accurate, powerful unit;
  • high quality computer program CNC provides automatic control of the machine;
  • vertical milling machines are characterized by high productivity.

Cantilever vertical milling machines

Using vertical cantilever milling machines, you can effectively process grooves, corners, frames, as well as inclined and horizontal surfaces. Cantilever milling machines are distinguished by the presence of a cantilever element that moves in the vertical direction and carries a work table. A special feature of a cantilever milling machine is that basically, on such a milling machine, cantilever plates with tables with workpieces rigidly fixed to them move intensively.

The spindle with the cutting tool on such a machine is in a relatively static state. CNC cantilever milling machines are designed for serial production of parts with curved shapes and complex configurations in small and medium-sized production.

The drive power and rigid design of the vertical milling machine ensures that its vertical milling tool is capable of efficiently processing carbide metals. The vertically operating spindle can be rotated relative to the working plane of the cantilever fixed table at any angle. It does console machines fairly universal units that are capable of solving complex problems of precise processing of workpieces made of various materials.

Vertical cantileverless milling machines

On vertical milling machines without a console, the cross table is installed on a fixed frame. A feature of such machines is that the table moves exclusively in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The advantage of vertical non-cantilever milling machines is the milling of large and heavy workpieces on such machines.

Work on such milling machines is carried out with a vertical spindle very smoothly due to the automatic switching of continuously variable gears. CNC machines without a console produce vertical processing of parts efficiently, quickly and silently.

It is impossible to imagine a cantilever milling machine, as well as a vertical milling machine, without dividing heads. The vertical position of the spindle implies periodic rotations of the workpiece, which are processed on a manually controlled milling machine or on CNC machines. Such dividing heads provide rotation while the milling tool is working.

CNC milling machines

A manual milling machine is significantly different from a CNC machine. CNC milling machines are distinguished by a high level of automated control production process. The use of such a CNC machine significantly speeds up the processing of workpieces, increases work efficiency and reduces the negative impact human factor. A CNC machine is capable of producing complex parts of any curved configuration, moving along three axes.
