Milling machine mainly refers to a machine tool that uses a milling cutter to process a variety of surfaces of a workpiece. Usually the rotational motion of the milling cutter is the main movement, and the movement of the workpiece and the milling cutter is the feed motion. It can process planes, grooves, as well as various surfaces, gears, etc.
A milling machine is a machine tool that uses a milling cutter to mill a workpiece. In addition to milling planes, grooves, gear teeth, threads and spline shafts, milling machines can also process more complex profiles, with higher efficiency than planers, and are widely used in mechanical manufacturing and repair departments.
The milling machine is a widely used machine tool, in which it can process flat surfaces (horizontal plane, vertical plane), grooves (keyway, T-groove, dovetail groove, etc.), tooth parts (gears, spline shafts, sprockets), spiral surfaces (threads, spiral grooves) and various curved surfaces. In addition, it can also be used for machining the surface of the rotary body, internal holes, and cutting work. When the milling machine is working, the workpiece is mounted on the workbench or the indexing head and other accessories, and the milling cutter rotates as the main movement, supplemented by the feed movement of the workbench or the milling head, and the workpiece can obtain the required machining surface. Due to the multi-edge interrupted cut, the productivity of the milling machine is high. In simple terms, a milling machine is a machine tool that can mill, drill and boring a workpiece.
