Get to know our second-hand milling machines offer!

Industrial milling machines are one of the most widely used machine tools in precision machining. There are different types of milling machines, each designed to work with specific part dimensions, precision requirements or machining conditions.

Understanding the types of industrial milling machines and their applications makes it possible to choose the most suitable machine for each production process, from heavy machining to high-precision work.

In this article we analyze the main types of milling machines used in industry, their characteristics and the situations in which each machine configuration is used.

What are the three key differences between CNC lathes and milling machines?

Despite the fact that both are machine tools that are dedicated to the removal of material from the workpiece in the form of chips or swarf and that both are operated by a Computerized Numerical Control (CNC), there are many differences between lathes and milling machines for your machining operations.

Discover the key differences between CNC lathes and milling machines. Learn how to choose the right machine tool to optimize your machining processes and improve production efficiency.

Are you interested in discovering all the advantages of a CNC milling machine?

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machines are used for the precise machining of parts through operations performed with the aid of computer software. Regarding how a CNC milling machine works, this CNC controls the cutting tool position at all times through pre-entered orders that progressively determine the travel of the different milling machine axes, showcasing one of the many advantages of milling machines.

Are you familiar with the different types of automatic tool changers (ATC)?

An automatic tool changer is an accessory that is part of those milling machines equipped with a numerical control and which allows that the change of tools in the milling head is carried out in a programmed way and without the intervention of an operator. The automatic tool changer is directed at making the operator´s work easier by changing the tools automatically, with no requirement for operator intervention. Controlled by the CNC, the main function of this automatic tool changer (ATC) is therefore to optimise machining times and to facilitate work on complicated parts with machining processes that require the use of a large variety of tools, thereby improving productivity.
