Applications of FGM320 B CNC Gear Form Grinding Machine
The motor of FGM320 B is driven by SIEMENS high performance motorized spindle, which can satisfy the linear speed requirements of small grinding wheel and high speed grinding wheel.
 
Features of FGM320 B CNC Gear Form Grinding Machine
1. There are 4 servo axes: feed axis X of grinding head; movement axis Z of grinding head, rotary axis A of grinding head and rotary axis C of workhead. Axes X, Z and C are full-closed loop control. Imported linear roller guideways with high precision and rigidity are used for linear axes X and Z. Precision combined bearings are adopted for rotary axis A to guarantee accurate positioning for helix angle of the grinding head and high rigidity. C axis is driven by torque motor, which eliminates the backlash, guarantees the accurate indexing and positioning. The diamond dressing spindle S2 is driven by servo motor.
2. The independently developed profile grinding software can generate the profile file of wheel according to the customer's workpiece to be ground. In addition, the software integrates most of the operation process of the machine, which features friendly interface, visible layer, convenient parameter input and easy operation.
3. The grinding cycle is controlled with CNC system; wheel dressing, compensating and automatic grinding cycle are completed with once programming.
4. A fully enclosed cover, cooling pump with big flow and constant temperature refrigeration device are equipped.

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.
