Key Features of Our Manual Bed Milling Machines:
X-Axis Auto Feed Variable-speed control
Our machines come equipped with an X-Axis auto feed variable-speed controlled by AC servo motor, providing smooth and precise adjustments. For added versatility, an optional Y auto feed variable-speed by AC servo motor is also available.
High Precision Ballscrews on XY Axes
Precision is paramount. Our manual bed milling machines feature high precision ballscrews on the X and Y axes, ensuring exceptional accuracy and minimal backlash.
Heavy Duty Wide Saddle
With a saddle length of 1016mm (40”), our machines offer full support to the table, accommodating heavy-duty machining tasks with ease.
Rigid Square Ways on X and Y
The rigid square ways on the X and Y axes provide enhanced stability and precision during operation, contributing to the overall rigidity and performance of the machine.
Meehanite Casting
Our machines are built using licensed Meehanite casting, known for its superior strength and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Hardened and Ground Slideways (X,Y & Z) and Table
All slideways and the machine table are hardened and ground to provide maximum wear resistance and longevity, maintaining precision over extended use.
Turcite-B Coated on the X,Y & Z Axes Slideways and Gibs
The X, Y & Z axes slideways and gibs are coated with Turcite-B, reducing friction and wear, and enhancing the smoothness and accuracy of movement.
Adjustable Milling Head
The head of our manual bed milling machines can be tilted +/-45 degrees to the right and left, allowing for versatile angular machining operations.
Counter-balance Weight Device
A counter-balance weight device for the milling head ensures stable and precise movement, improving overall machining accuracy.
Telescopic Steel Cover
To protect the slideways and ballscrew from dust and debris, our machines are equipped with a telescopic steel cover, maintaining optimal performance and reducing maintenance needs.
