Main Characteristics of BG500 D3 Spiral Bevel Gear Generating Machine
1. BG500 D3 Spiral Bevel Gear Cutting Machine is designed to operate as a 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). Each of three axes will be separately or simultaneously controlled. The rotation of cutter spindle (S axis) is controlled by an AC frequency variable motor for its stepless control.
2. A high precision dual-leads worm gear set is used for cradle drive and work spindle drive respectively, and many measures are adopted for improving the structural and driving rigidity of machine, so as to ensure the machining accuracy, productivity and operating life.
3. A cutter tilt mechanism with maximum tilt angle 30°is designed for the cutter spindle for cutting the pinions to mesh with non-generated gears (minimum gear ratio 2.5:1) and getting better tooth bearing correction.
4. There are no any change gears on the machine for minimizing the setting time of machine.
5. The feeds of machine are controlled by CNC program so as to simplify the operation and increase the cutting efficiency.
6. SIEMENS 828D CNC control system, main electrical and hydraulic components, critical bearings and sealing are fine quality imports, which guarantee the machine reliability.
7. The machine is equipped with an independent sealed electrical cabinet, which is with air conditioner or thermo exchanger.
8. Safety guards and auto-chip conveyor can be provided on the 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.
