Overview

This model Vertical Knee Mill is constructed with box ways instead of dove tail ways. The model has many unique features compared with most of the similar machines on the market.

The quill is CNC ground to a mirror finish and chromed to fit the housing resulting in close to jig bore accuracy for quill downfeed.

Tapered gibs installed on the ways allows easy adjustment for long term usage.

The feed handles are designed to spin free which eliminates the friction between the operator’s hand and the feed handle.

The bottom of the saddle, instead of the top of the knee ways,  which rides on the knee, is hand scraped for better oil retention and prevent dirt and chips from embedded in the knee ways.

  • 10 x 54 ins table, 16.3 x 39  ins  travel
  • R-8 spindle, 5 HP motor , variable speed (60-4,500 rpm)
  • Spindle runout of no more than 0.0002 ins TIR
  • Hardened and ground box ways, column, base
  • Head tilt side to side, up and down
  • One shot lubrication with back flow valve
  • Tapered gibs for adjustment

Features

Servo Motor Drive

  • Spindle driven by Servo motor, eliminating high low transmission gears and manual break.
  • High Performance in Intermittent Use – Servo motors are ideal for applications with start-stop operations. They can ramp up and down quickly without consuming excessive energy.
  • Low Energy Loss – Servo motors are designed to minimize energy loss due to heat and friction, contributing to their overall efficiency.
  • The Servo Motor Drive features an 8.5kW spindle motor (equivalent to 11 HP), delivering increased productivity through the ability to take larger depths of cut in milling, drilling, boring, and tapping applications.
  • The Servo Motor Drive eliminates high- and low-speed transmission changes, reducing wear on parts in the head of the machine and making the mill easier to operate.
  • The Servo Motors Drive adjusts the speed and torque dynamically, allowing it to run quieter and with less vibration than traditional variable speed drive mills for improved surface finish and extended tool life.

PRECISION QUILL

  • The machine is equipped with an R-8 spindle that has 5 inches of quill travel.
  • The Quill is hard chrome-plated and mounted on a matched pair of high precision angular contact bearings, ensuring spindle runout does not exceed two ten-thousandths of an inch of Total Indicator Runout (TIR).

SPINDLE SPEED AND LOAD DISPLAY

  • The spindle speed has a digital display, so the speed change is controlled by just turning a dial to the desired speed, and the load meter provides real-time monitoring of spindle power usage, offering several benefits like preventing tool breakage, improving cutting conditions, and optimizing machine performance.

Power Draw Bar

  • The machine is equipped with a standard power drawbar, allowing for quick and effortless tool changes.

HIGH QUALITY CAST IRON

  • The structural components of the machine are made from Meehanite castings, ensuring long-term stability, durability, machinability, and excellent vibration damping.

HARDENED & GROUND SLIDEWAYS

  • The hardened and ground X and Y-axis ways are coated with Turcite-B, providing resistance to lubricants and coolants for extended service life and reduced wear.

NO END PLAY OR LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE TABLE

  • Precision thrust bearings mounted at the table end eliminate end play, resulting in smoother motion and improved travel accuracy.

BACKLASH ELIMINATION

  • Backlash is eliminated through Sharp’s double-nut design, which maintains full contact between a pair of bronze nuts and the precision-ground leadscrew, ensuring smooth table travel and improved accuracy.

WAY COVERS

  • Durable front and rear rubber way covers provide reliable protection against chips, coolant, and contamination, ensuring long machine life.

HEAD SWIVELING AND TILTING

  • Enhanced flexibility, the milling head swivels a full 360°, tilts 90° to the right or left, and angles 25° upward or 45° downward to accommodate a wide range of angular machining operations.

PATENTED KNUCKLED HEAD DESIGN

  • The exclusively designed knuckled head uses six bolts and is fitted into the circular T-slots to prevent the head from slipping.

ELECTRICAL CONTROL CABINET

  • The mill comes equipped with a transformer located in the electrical control cabinet which conveniently provides 110V power to DRO or X, Y, Z-Knee power feeds.

ONE SHOT LUBRICATION SYSTEM

  • The One-Shot Lubrication System, equipped with a backflow valve, ensures consistent lubrication of all ways and lead screws on the X, Y, and Z axes.
