Milling Machines

A part of Mazak's family of Hybrid multitask machining centers, the VTC-300C FSW combines milling capabilities with those of friction stir welding (FSW). With a full traveling-column design, automatic toolchanger and 40-taper spindle in addition to the FSW package, this machine helps shops achieve reduced lead times and greater part accuracy with less required capital equipment and floor space – all while enabling completely novel methods for processing parts with strong welds.

Walter has expanded its cost-effective, flexible M4000 milling cutter system with the addition of the new M4791 routing cutter. Capable of plunging in solid material and producing a true flat bottom, the new routing cutters have an application in both lathes and machining centers.

With the new VM 9 modular turning machine, EMAG has introduced a platform that covers a broad spectrum of applications thanks to the combined turning, milling and drilling technologies and intelligent machine design. The highly accessible machining area and workpiece spindle fitted at the bottom ensure short tooling times and maximum flexibility in the production of workpieces in small series.

New CoroMill Plura routers unveiled by Sandvik Coromant offer optimized milling and slotting operations in composite materials such as CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) and GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic).

Designed for high-precision milling of the same part, Kent USA CNC knee mills are reportedly built to last on heavy-duty, solid foundations. The knee mills come standard with Acu-Rite MillPwr G2. This CNC can be used as a full function DRO, an intelligent power feed or a programmable CNC.

Kitamura's Mycenter-HX250G HMC offers up a small footprint with ultrahigh level accuracies. This unique powerhouse has a standard two-station APC with full 4-axis capabilities for drilling, milling, boring, tapping, threading and much more. A standard high-speed 15,000-rpm, dual-contact spindle is ideal for tougher cuts with a 30,000-rpm option for more highly intricate part processing.

Crystallume has introduced roughcut and fine-cut alligator back routers for trimming composite materials. The alligator back design increases the feed rate and provides fast trimming capabilities while minimizing tear-out, according to the company.
