Vertical Machining, also known as milling, relies on rotary cutters to remove metal from a workpiece. Vertical machining occurs on a vertical machining center (VMC), which employs a spindle with a vertical orientation. With a vertically oriented spindle, tools stick straight down from the tool holder, and often cut across the top of a workpiece.
With the latest verson in CNC milling machines, we offer customers high precision, complex parts with exceptional throughput and short leadtimes. Our equipment ranges from simple 3-axis vertical machining centers to sophisticated 5-axis machining centres. We can handle parts envelope in a wide range of materials from aluminum to high nickel alloys.
4-Axis CNC Milling Machining centers
FORTUNE PACIFIC 4 axis CNC Milling Machining centers are based on the same models from FORTUNE PACIFIC that make up the 3 axis range with the addition of a rotary table to enable 4 axis machining. As with all FORTUNE PACIFIC CNC Milling Machining centers, the user has choice between Siemens or Heidenhain controls. Equipment options include automatic loading via pallet changer for significantly cut set-up times. Supplied with Siemens machine controls.
Why are 4-axis CNC machining centers useful?
Having a CNC machining centers with these extra axes presents many advantages. Since they can cut the workpiece from different angles, 4-axis CNC machining centers can complete a part in a shorter timeframe, with less of a need for multiple set-ups. This has the knock-on benefit of eliminating incorrect alignment - a risk every time the workpiece has to be manually reoriented for a new set-up.

Knee Type Milling Machine: Precision Versatility for Industrial Manufacturing
What is a Knee Type Milling Machine?
A knee type milling machine is a fundamental machine tool distinguished by its vertically adjustable worktable mounted on a "knee" casting. This knee moves precisely up and down a fixed column via a screw mechanism, enabling accurate Z-axis positioning crucial for diverse milling operations.
Working Principle
The core principle involves a rotating milling cutter removing material from a workpiece secured to the table. The adjustable knee mechanism allows controlled vertical movement (Z-axis), while the table provides longitudinal (X-axis) and transverse (Y-axis) travel. This 3-axis control facilitates complex machining of flat, angular, and contoured surfaces.
Key Applications
- Tool & Die Making: Precision molds, jigs, fixtures
- Prototyping: Rapid part development
- Maintenance Shops: Equipment repair & part fabrication
- General Machining: Slotting, drilling, facing, keyway cutting
- Aerospace & Automotive: Component manufacturing
Distinctive Features & Advantages
- Vertical Adjustability: Knee movement enables quick workpiece height changes
- Rigid Construction: Robust cast iron frame ensures stability
- Manual & CNC Options: Traditional control or computer numerical precision
- Turret Design (Common): Swiveling milling head for multi-angle machining
- Wide Workpiece Compatibility: Handles various sizes and shapes
Primary Classifications
- Vertical Knee Mill: Spindle axis perpendicular to table (most common)
- Horizontal Knee Mill: Spindle axis parallel to table (for heavy stock removal)
- Universal Knee Mill: Table swivels for complex angular cuts
- Turret Mill: Head rotates on turret for flexible positioning
Main Components
- Base & Column: Primary support structure
- Knee: Vertically moving saddle supporting the table
- Saddle & Table: Hold and position the workpiece (X/Y axes)
- Milling Head: Houses spindle, motor, and quill (Z-axis)
- Arbor/Spindle: Rotating shaft holding cutting tools
- Controls: Manual handwheels or CNC interface
Evolution & Industry Significance
Since their development in the late 19th century, knee-and-column mills revolutionized machining. The iconic Bridgeport design (1938) popularized the turret style. While CNC machining centers dominate high-volume production, knee mills remain indispensable for flexibility, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness in job shops, schools, and repair facilities worldwide.
