Injection mold manufacturing equipment-Milling machine
Milling machines are machines used to mill workpieces with milling cutters. The most obvious difference between milling machines and lathes is that the tool rotates, not the workpiece. Milling machines can be used to machine flat surfaces, grooves, gears, and threads, as well as more complex workpieces, with efficiency higher than that of the planers. Milling machines are widely used in the fields of injection mold manufacture and mechanical process.
The structure of a milling machine is mainly composed of the following parts:
1. Spindle: the spindle is the core component of a milling machine. It drives the milling cutter to rotate. The spindle speed and torque are important parameters of a milling machine.
2. Worktable: the worktable is the location where the workpiece is installed on a milling machine. It can move horizontally, vertically, and rotate.
3. Feeding mechanism: the feeding mechanism is the feed device for the workpiece and the milling cutter on a milling machine. It can control the movement of the workpiece and the milling cutter.
4. Operating console: the operating console is the part of a milling machine that is operated by the operator. It can control the various functions of a milling machine.
According to the working principle of milling machines, milling machines can be divided into general milling machines, vertical milling machines, horizontal milling machines, gantry milling machines, and multi-axis milling machines.
Milling machines have a wide range of applications, mainly in the fields of mechanical manufacturing, mold manufacturing, and automobile manufacturing.
