Main Characteristics of BG125 C3 Spiral Bevel Gear Generating Machine
1) BG125 C3 Spiral Bevel Gear Generating Machine is designed to operate as three-axes CNC control spiral bevel gear generator, i.e. cradle oscillation (X axis), work spindle rotation (Y axis) and sliding base movement (Z axis) being simultaneously controlled by control system for cutting the gears. The rotation of cutter spindle is controlled by a frequency variable motor for its stepless control.
2) This series of machine is easy to adjust, with setting up the procedure for generating, indexing, infeed, cutter speed and cradle reversing according to requirements of different cutting method, meanwhile the productivity of machine has a great increase.
3) When setting the cutter by hand, the power of main motor will be off, so as to protect the operator. There are soft & hard over-travel protection for Z axis.
4) A high precision cylindrical gear pair is used on this series of machine, which keep high dynamic rigidity and high precision cutting for tooth flank. The cutting accuracy of gears can reach Class 6 steadily.
5) This machine is equipped with SIEMENS 828D to accomplish the automatic or manual control and fault diagnosis.
6) This series of machine is equipped with an independent close type electrical cabinet with an air conditioner.
7) Overall sealed safe guard and auto-chip conveyor can be provided on this seri
es of machine.

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.
