Bed Type Milling Machine - CNC Bed Mills

Bed milling machines are highly efficient through their particular method of operation. The production of components with complex structures (e.g. cylinder blocks or gear wheels), as well as simple milling processes, are possible on a milling machine. A milling machine uses various tools to form an entire workpiece. Automatic CNC milling machines are equipped with a tool changer. The position and type of tool is stored into the milling programme. The milling process occurs in two stages for high-end final products. “Stripping”, or “roughing”, is used to reduce excess material down to a few millimetres. Stripping is a very rough process, which can be undertaken quickly and does not require much precision. Roughing is used to mill the workpiece down to the exact desired dimensions. This two part milling process is particularly important for hard materials, which have high requirements for dimensional accuracy. Workpieces that are commonly processed using this two part technique are technical components made out of metal. Wood products are usually processed in a single step.

Bed Type Milling Machine – A Mill Machine with High Precision

Most milling machines are a gantry design. This includes a milling head, which moves along all axes, and is guided via a portal over the workpiece. Portal Milling Machines quickly reach their limit when dealing with particularly hard work materials, which additionally requires high precision for the final product. In order to reach this high level of precision, the milling head on a bed type milling machine is attached to a column. This column is particularly stable. The milling head can move up and down, and forwards and backwards. The sideways movements are undertaken by the machine bed, which is how the machine got its name. The rotating milling head can mill bevels and chamfers into the workpiece. Bed milling machines can only increase their levels of precision through integrating a Tool Room Milling Machines. Here the workpiece is fixed onto the work table, which moves along the x and y axis. The movement along the z axis is only done by the milling head.
