About Plano Miller Machines

Plano Miller Machine is a big miller machine used for removing materials. Multiple flat surfaces are used for production of large workpieces. Often appreciated for sturdy construction and high tensile strength, it is used for the purpose of creating flat and angular surfaces. It is suitable for components made up of ferrous, non-ferrous and similar materials. Plano Miller Machines are used for various processes such as slot cutting, routing turning and welding.

The largest milling machine i.e. the Plano Miller Machine is appreciated for its high production capacity and cost-effectiveness. Several cutting tools work simultaneously, thereby increasing the pace of production.

Types of Plano Miller Machine

• Horizontal Plano Miller Machine

  The miller in this type of machine is mounted horizontally. Flat surfaces are shaped by plain mills whereas several cutters are required to mill a complex shape. Special cutters can also cut radii, bevels and grooves. These cutters cost much more than single or double cutters.

• Vertical Plano Miller machine

  The spindle axis in this miller machine is vertically oriented. Vertical Mill follows the same x-y table as the horizontal mill. The spindle in this mill can be raised and lowered. This extension allows descent cutting and drilling. The Vertical Mill can further be subdivided into the bed mill and the turret mill.

• Universal Head Milling Machine

  This milling machine possesses both horizontal arbor and vertical spindle. Its tilting spindles enable machining jobs of complex nature. Different cutting tools like shell mill cutter, face milling cutter and end mill cutter can be mounted on this versatile machine.

• CNC Plano Miller

  The computerized system controls the cutting process to ensure greater degree of accuracy. The use of computerized system eliminates the errors that can occur in a standard milling process.
