What is turret milling machine?
Turret milling machine is a type of milling machine, originally invented in the 19th century. It looks like the turret and got its name. It covers a small area, has good rigidity and many functions. It is suitable for processing some small workpieces, especially for the mold industry. Capable of milling surfaces, drilling holes, keyways, plus rotary tables or indexing heads for helical machining. Horizontal axis can be selected on the column to realize horizontal milling function.

This type of milling machine beam can swing from side to side, also known as the rocker, radial arm milling machine. The milling head can be rotated left and right, and back and forth, because of this structural feature, so that its machining range can be expanded.

Turret milling machine parts

Base: Made of castings that support the overall weight of the milling machine while storing cutting fluid. Fixed on the ground to stabilize the machine tool.

Column: the column is mounted on the base, with electric control box on the side, guide rail on the front, and mounting table. It’s a very important component

Working table: The working table needs to process T-groove and fix the workpiece through T-bolt

Lead screw: the lead screw drives the nut to drive the movement of the worktable, usually 3, which are respectively responsible for the movement of XYZ 3 axis.

Tool walker: If there is no tool walker, the rotation of the table requires manual rotation of the handwheel. The tool walker can realize fast automatic feed, saving manpower and improving efficiency

Milling head: one of the most important parts of the milling machine, the rigidity of the milling head directly determines the machining effect. The cutter is installed on the milling head, the milling head rotates, drives the cutter to rotate, and processes the workpiece.

Motor: Main motor drives spindle rotation. Lifting motor drives the table to move up and down.

Digital display: the moving distance is measured by digital display ruler and displayed on the LCD screen for the convenience of operators
