Features of WGM360 B CNC Worm Wheel Gear Grinding Machine
1. WGM360 B CNC Worm Wheel Gear Grinding Machine is new type machine improved based on YK7236A and adopts continuous generating grinding principle.
2. Electronic gear box (EGB): WGM360 B can achieve parameters concatenation between grinding wheel rotation axis, workpiece rotation axis, workpiece axial feed axis and tangential feed axis to satisfy the requirement of dividing transmission and differential motion in gear cutting and complete grinding of spur and helical gears.
3. Continuous shift grinding: during grinding motion, the contact path of workpiece and grinding wheel is updated constantly, so it is always the newly dressed surface to grind workpiece, which increases grinding efficiency.
4. Profile and longitudinal modification: we can make special diamond rollers for dressing profile, longitudinal modification is realized by CNC controlled simultaneous workpiece radial feed axis and workpiece axial feed axis moving, thereby, all kinds of longitudinal profile may be obtained.
5. Human-machine interface: operator only needs to input workpiece parameter and related processing data before automatic grinding. Similarly, when dressing process is needed, operator only needs to input dressing parameter, which simplifies programming process and can diagnose common faults.
6. Automatic grinding cycle: customers can select manual grinding cycle or automatic grinding cycle. During manual grinding cycle, operator can interfere the clamping or unclamping of workpiece collet, terminate grinding wheel feeding motion, which is suitable for single workpiece production. Automatic grinding cycle is suitable for batch production. Broad grinding wheel and tangential shift guarantee workpiece accuracy and consistency.
7. Automatic dressing cycle: achieve grinding wheel multi-start dressing; grinding wheel cover can turn over automatically to reduce labor intensity.
8. Air blowing clean (optional): workpiece can be cleaned by air blowing to avoid pollution from coolant.

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.
