Features of WGM320 CNC Worm Wheel Gear Grinding Machine
1. The phase locking servo system is used to control the dividing driving and differential driving instead of gear transmission, which improves the working accuracy and reduces the waves on the ground tool flacks.
2. CNC feed system used for variable radial feed of grinding wheel improves the machine efficiency greatly.
3. The proportional valve and grating are used to control the movement of slide. Different speeds can be set for each travel. The evenness of grinding allowance on both flanks of each tooth can be displayed and made even with a correction button.
4. Diamond roller is used for wheel dressing.
5. Lead modification function can be used for grinding crowned gears, and the diamond roller is used for grinding gears with profile modification. Manual and automatic grinding cycles are available. During automatic grinding cycle, the clamping and unclamping of workpiece can be achieved time after time, the tangential shift of workpiece along grinding wheel, grinding accuracy and uniformity of workpiece in one batch is guaranteed.
6. Workpiece parameter and processing parameter can be input via touch keyboard and displayed on the touch screen. In addition, all kinds of processing parameters can be stored in the computer.

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.
