Milling Machine

The technology of contemporary horizontal boring and milling machines, as well as floor-standing boring and milling machines is developing rapidly, which is mainly reflected in the renewal of design concepts, the great improvement of machine tool running speed and the enhanced manufacturing process. Additionally, the structural designs of these machines are undergoing substantial changes, with new technologies continually emerging. The structure of horizontal boring and milling machines are increasingly incorporating high-speed electric spindles, and floor-standing boring and milling machines are developing towards ram-type (no boring axis) structures. Functional accessories are evolving to support high-speed, multi-axis linkage and diverse structural types, paving the way for future advancements.

The milling machine was first invented by American E. Whitney in 1818 as a horizontal milling machine. In order to mill the spiral groove of the twist drill bit, American J.R. Brown invented the first universal milling machine in 1862, which was the prototype of the lifting table milling machine. The gantry milling machine appeared around 1884. Semi-automatic milling machines appeared in the 1920s, and the workbench could complete the automatic conversion of "feed-fast" or "fast-feed" using the block.

After 1950, the milling machine developed rapidly in terms of control system, and the application of digital control greatly improved the automation of milling machines. Especially after the 1970s, the digital control system and automatic tool change system of microprocessors were applied to milling machines, which expanded the processing range of milling machines and improved processing accuracy and efficiency.

With the continuous intensification of the mechanization process, CNC programming began to be widely used in machine tool operations, greatly releasing labor. CNC programming milling machines will gradually replace manual operations. The requirements for employees will also become higher and higher, and of course the efficiency will also be higher and higher.
