Ram Type Milling Machine

What is a ram type milling machine？

“RAM” is a pillow like part which can equipped with tool holder or spindle box, with guide rail, which can move longitudinally and horizontally on the bed or other parts.

Ram type milling machine is a kind of metal cutting machine tool. It is a milling machine whose spindle is installed on the ram. The bed of the milling machine is arranged horizontally, the ram can move laterally along the saddle guide rail, and the saddle can move vertically along the column guide rail.

The ram can be moved back and forth to adjust the tool position or move the tool position quickly. When the milling head rotates to the surface of the ram, any angle adjustment can be made between the vertical and horizontal positions. The movable ram enables the throat distance to be adjusted in or out, and the spindle can be as close to the column as possible in each case.

Ram type milling machine is mainly applicable to the production of batch parts. It can process planes, slopes, grooves, holes and gears of various medium and small parts. It is applicable to various machining departments and tool repair departments.

Ram type milling machines are divided into CNC ram milling machines and manual ram milling machines according to different operation modes. We mainly introduce the manual ram milling machine. The universal swivel head milling machine and some turret milling machines produced by our company are common ram type milling machines in the market.
