How to Distinguish the Models of Milling Machines The model of a milling machine is a code for milling machine products, concisely indicating the machine category, main specifications, technical parameters, structural characteristics, etc. The current milling machine models in China are compiled according to JB1838-85 "Method for Compiling Metal-Cutting Machine Tool Models", consisting of Pinyin letters and Arabic numerals arranged in a certain pattern. For example: The X5036 vertical milling machine, where "X" represents milling machine, "5" represents the group (5 for vertical milling machines, 6 for horizontal milling machines), "0" represents the type (turret milling machine type), and "36" refers to the main parameter (worktable width of 360mm). Hence, it is called a vertical milling machine. Another example: The X6036 horizontal milling machine produced by Ronghao Machine Tool Factory. According to the model code, X6036 is a horizontal milling machine with a worktable width of 306mm. General characteristic codes for machine tools: General characteristics: High precision, Precision, Automatic, Semi-automatic, CNC, Machining center (automatic tool change), Copying, Lightweight, Heavy-duty, Simplified Code: G, M, Z, E, K, F, Q, C, J. The spindle of a vertical milling machine is arranged vertically. Apart from the different spindle arrangement, their processing ranges are also different. The worktable can be raised and lowered. The tools used in vertical milling machines are relatively flexible and have a wide range of applications. They can use end mills, tool holders, drills, etc. They can mill keyways, plane surfaces, bore holes, etc. Horizontal milling machines can also use the above various tools, but they are not as convenient as vertical milling machines. Mainly, they can use brackets to enhance the strength of tools (mainly three-sided milling cutters, disc milling cutters, etc.). They can mill grooves, plane surfaces, and cut off, etc. Horizontal milling machines generally come with a vertical milling head. Although the function and rigidity of this vertical milling head are not as powerful as those of a vertical milling machine, they are sufficient for vertical milling processing. This makes the overall function of horizontal milling machines more powerful than that of vertical milling machines. Vertical milling machines do not have this feature and cannot process workpieces suitable for horizontal milling. Horizontal milling is mostly used for processing gears, splines, grooving, cutting, etc., while vertical milling machines are mostly used for plane processing. For workpieces with geometric shapes that have high and low curves on the plane, such as mold parts, vertical milling can be very effective. Currently in China, Beijing No.1 Machine Tool Plant is a representative manufacturer of milling machines, but the prices are generally above 100,000 yuan. However, if you are looking for cost-effectiveness, you can choose the milling machines and dual-spindle machining centers agented by Ningbo Dicheng Machinery Co., Ltd. Our reliable technology, mature production processes, and comprehensive after-sales service will not disappoint your choice.
