Applications of BG500 T3 Spiral Bevel Gear Generating Machine
BG500 T3 Spiral Bevel Machine is a new type of CNC machine used to cut the gears from the small one of 20-25 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm in module up to the large one of 500 mm in diameter and 10 mm in module.
The machine is designed for roughing and finishing Spiral Bevel Gears, Hypoid Gears, Angular Bevel Gears, and Pinions which are meshed with non-generated gears and gears with long cone distance used in automobile, construction machinery, aviation and machine tool industries.
 
Main Characteristics of BG500 T3 Spiral Bevel Gear Generating Machine
1) The 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) being simultaneously controlled by control system for cutting the gears. The rotation of cutter spindle is controlled by a frequency variable motor.
2) There are no change gears on the machine for easy operation, variety application and minimizing the setting time of machine.
3) When setting the cutter by hand, the power of main motor will be off, so as to protect the operation. Three axes(X, Y and Z) will be back to zero positions through switches for ensuring the high accuracy and there are forward and backward limit switches for Z axis.
4) A high precision worm gear set is used for cradle drive and work spindle drive respectively, which are controlled by AC servo system for getting high machining accuracy. The machine is with higher structural and driving rigidities.
5) The machine is equipped will SIEMENS 828D, AC digital servo system and frequency variable regulator.
6) The machine is equipped with an independent sealed electrical cabinet with air conditioner or thermo exchanger.
7) 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.
