Overview
This model has both vertical and horizontal heads. Bed type vertical mills are ideal for milling large work piece or heavy cutting on hard metals. The quill is fixed so it can withstand strong lateral forces. For this model, the entire vertical head moves up to 28” that enables deep drilling and boring operations. The large spindle with #50 taper can remove large amount of metals in one pass. The horizontal head with 7.5 HP motor and #50 taper spindle driven by AC servo motor on ball screw performs horizontal milling operations with high accuracy. This arrangement allows the performing of different type of milling operations on one set up, thus maintain accuracy and increase productivity.
- 30” x 106” table, 32” x 79” (812 mm x 2,006 mm) travel
- With optional table outboard support, the travel can increase by 20%
- Vertical head travel 28”, fixed quill
- NST #50 taper spindle, 17.5 HP motor
- The Horizontal head has NST#50 spindle taper,7.5 HP motor. The head is driven by AC servo motor on precision ball screw for precise and easy operation.
- Hardened and ground box ways
- Fully ribbed castings on column, table and saddle to make it a rigid structure
- Double nut backlash eliminator
- Eye-level lever control for vertical head rapid traverse
Features

Solid Construction, Box Way Design
High quality castings are used on base, column, saddle and table. They are stressed relieved to avoid any distortion. All sliding surfaces are hand scraped to ensure full bearing support. All reference surfaces and T slots are precision ground to exact tolerances.

Honeycombed Ribbing on Column
The vertical column of a bed mill usually received most pressure during heavy duty milling operations. Honeycombed pattern ribbings enhance rigidity of the casting.

Double Nut Backlash Eliminator
Backlash on the screw increases after long term usages. The backlash eliminator can correct the situation by adjusting the double nuts instead of the old method of squeezing a split nut.

Eye-Level Tri-Lever Handle Vertical Head Movement
Despite the heavy duty vertical spindle head, it is easy to move the head up and down manually using the tri-lever handle for positioning or close milling jobs.

Additional Horizontal Milling Head
The horizontal milling head with a fixed quill travels along the side of the column driven by AC servo motor on precision ball screw. It is equipped with NST#50 spindle taper, runs on 7.5 HP spindle motor. The head has 12 spindle speeds from 40-1,450 rpm.
