How does a milling machine work?
SIeMpelkAMp | FoUnDRy
A milling machine brings workpieces into shape, by means of rotating cutting tools which remove chips of material. Milling is derived
from drilling, but one major difference lies in the fact that at least three axial feed directions are available for milling. this allows the
manufacture of complex bodies in space.
the cutting speed for metal covers a wide range, depending on its type: brittle or tough. on the type of machines typically found in
workshops and training facilities, speeds of between 20–300 rpm are used. In series manufacturing, or for workpieces that require
very intensive milling, e.g. aircraft frames, all parameters are optimally coordinated with each other in the interests of economy.
speeds of up to 10,000 rpm are possible here.
Milling machines can be used to manufacture complex parts such as engine blocks or cogwheels. In the classification of production
techniques under the German standard DIn 8580, milling is classified as a cutting process.
