And then we will list the capacities of the 3 second-hand traveling column milling machines newly added to our inventory.
What is a traveling column milling machine?
A traveling column milling machine is a machine tool that uses a milling cutter to machine metal parts. The milling cutter is a rotating tool with several teeth that are used to cut, carve or roughen the part. The moving column milling machine has a vertical column that supports the milling head, which can move in three directions: horizontal, vertical and axial.
Parts of a traveling column milling machine
The main parts of a traveling column milling machine are:
- Column: Supports the milling head.
- Milling head: Contains the main spindle, which rotates the milling cutter.
- Work table: Supports the part to be machined.
- Guides: Allow movement of the column and milling head
- Control: Allows programming of machining operations.
Applications of traveling column milling machines
Traveling column milling machines are used in a wide range of industrial applications, including:
- Manufacturing of metal parts: Traveling column milling machines are used to machine metal parts of any shape and size. Some of the machining operations that can be performed with a moving column milling machine are: drilling, tapping, profiling, grooving, roughing and finishing.
