    Milling Machines
    • Used to produce one or more machined
    surfaces accurately on workpiece
    – One or more rotary milling cutters
    • Workpiece held on work table or holding
    device and brought into contact with cutter
    • Vertical milling machine most common
    • Horizontal milling machine handles
    operations normally performed by other tools

    Objectives
    • List four main uses of a vertical milling
    machine
    • Describe how angular surfaces can be
    machined
    • List three types of vertical milling machines
    • State the purposes of the main parts of a knee
    and column machine
    59-5

    Vertical Milling Machine


    • Developed in 1860's
    • Combines vertical spindle of drill press with
    longitudinal and traverse movements of
    milling machine
    • Milling process may be vertical, horizontal,
    angular, or helical
    • Can be used for milling, drilling, boring, and
    reaming
    • Can machine in one, two, or three planes
    – X, Y, Z
    59-6

    Vertical Milling Machines


    • Equipped with variable speed spindle drives
    – Permit wide range of speeds
    • Spindle head housing swiveled as much as
    90 degrees right and left, as well as limited
    backward and forward for angular operations
    • Longitudinal and crossfeed movements of
    table operated by hand or automatic feeds
    59-7

    Variety of Operations
    • Face milling • Gear cutting
    • End milling • Drilling
    • Keyway cutting • Boring
    • Dovetail cutting
    • T-slot and circular
    slot cutting
    59-8

    Types of Vertical Milling


    Machines
    • Ram-type
    – Most common because of simplicity and setup
    – All features of plain horizontal milling machine
    – Cutter spindle mounted in vertical position
    – Spindle head may be swiveled allowing
    machining of angular surfaces
    • 2-axis control
    – Step between standard milling machine and
    CNC machining center (PC control)
    59-9

    Heavy-Duty Vertical Milling


    Machine
    • Used for machining operations that require
    larger cutters and good rigidity
    • Adapted to operations with end mills and
    face mills
    – Profiling interior and exterior surfaces
    – Milling dies and metal molds
    – Locating and boring holes in jigs and fixtures
    59-10

    Ram-Type
    Vertical Milling
    Machine
    59-11

    Parts of Ram-Type Vertical Mill

    • Base made of ribbed cast iron


    – May contain coolant reservoir
    • Column often cast with base
    – Machined face provides ways for vertical
    movement of knee
    – Upper part machines to receive turret where
    overarm mounted
    59-12

    Parts of Ram-Type Vertical Mill


    • Overarm round and may be adjusted toward
    or away from column
    • Head attached to end of ram
    – Made to swivel head in one plane
    – Universal-type machines allow swivel in 2 planes
    • Motor mounted on top of head
    – provides drive to spindle through V-belts
    59-13

    Parts of Ram-Type Vertical Mill


    • Spindle speed changed by variable-speed
    pulley/crank or by belt changes and
    reduction gear
    • Knee moves up and down on face of column
    – Supports saddle and table
    – Does not contain gears for automatic feed
    • Automatic feed is external device and controls
    longitudinal and crossfeeds of table
