Features
Machine layout
This machine is of single column, spindle head hang aside, column fixed on saddle, and saddle moves along machine bed guideway, spindle head moves along column guideway, main motion is the spindle rotation.(See below drawing)
Four liner axes are:
1.  Column cross travel X
2.  Vertical travel of spindle head Y
3.  Axial travel of ram W
4.  Axial travel of boring spindle Z
Basic parts
Bed, column, ram, and ram saddle are all adopt high quality ageing treated cast iron, and ram is aging treated nodular cast iron. Adopt the FEM to get the highest rigidity. The bed is closed boxy shape with reinforce rod and reasonable multi supporting points. The column is with four sides double-layer wall structure.
Guideways
The three linear guideways of the X,Y and Z axes are all compound guideways (sliding guideways with plastic inserts combined with guideways with rollers ).The connect parts also with steel strip inserts. They are of high contact rigidity, low friction, wear resistant, high damping capability, and low high-frequency vibration, high accuracy, self-lubrication, and easy maintenance. X Y & Z equipped with hydraulic clamp device.
Spindle system
Spindle consist of hollow spindle (milling spindle) and boring spindle. The bearing spindle adopts the imported bearing, and spindle pull method is disk spring clamping and hydraulic loose; Material of the spindle is 38CrMoAlA electroslag-refined, nitrated steel. Over 30 operations are required for processing the spindle and its mirror surface has ground and lapped.
Main driven system
Spindle rotation (SP axis) uses 3 steps shift gear box with SIEMENS AC servo motor drive, through gear couple to hollow milling spindle, and realize the rotation of boring spindle. High/middle/low hydraulic auto shift realized by hydraulic controlled oil cylinder dial, and approach switch inspects the dial position. The structure is of large speed area, low power loss, and big output torque. Meanwhile internal the ram constanting oil cycle cooling method adopted to guarantee the rotation accuracy of spindle, reduce the heat thermal deformation (power torque figure below).
Feed mechanism
X axis adopt the double servo driven structure which consist of double servo motor+ high torque planet decelerator +double pinion+ high accuracy rack. The double servo motor controlled by CNC system and through the electrical automatic adjustment method to eliminate transmission gap between pinion and rack, this structure has the transmission accuracy, high efficiency and reliable performance characteristics.
For Y, Z and W axis use SIEMENS 1FT6 AC motor through deceleration device to driven the high rigid preloading roll ball screw rod nut pair to realized each axes’s feed. This kind of structure is compact and reasonable with characteristic of high precision and high transmission efficiency. At the same time, servo motor for Y axis with brake function can prevent the accident of spindle sudden fall when power blankout.

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.
