HOJA DE RESPUESTAS A LAS PREGUNTAS GUÍA
The operation of the milling machines is based on a cutting tool that, when rotating at high
speeds, allows to remove chips from a material. In this process, the person moves the cutting
tool and the piece, to start tearing off the material and ending up with the desired shape.
There are Different Types of Milling Machines. Milling machines come in various types with a
variety of functions based on certain standard specifications. Some of the most commonly
used machines are the following: Horizontal milling machine, Vertical milling machine,
Universal milling machine.
➢ Horizontal milling machine. The spindle axis is horizontal, the cutters are mounted on a
horizontal shaft called a burr shaft.
➢ These machines are the first milling machine designs to emerge, with a horizontal spindle,
a bridge that supports the shaft in a very rigid position, and a coordinate table that moves
up and down on the console (vertical axis).
➢ Vertical milling machine. In it, the position on the spindle is vertical, perpendicular to the
coordinate table. It can be an oscillating head, if it is possible to tilt the spindle to make
certain operations at an angle.
➢ Universal milling machine. This machine combines the two previous types and has the
possibility of using the tool horizontally and vertically.
Column and base. The column rests on the base and also it has a coolant reservoir and a
pump to provide coolant in machining operations.
Knee. The knee is fastened to the column by dovetail ways. It is supported and adjusted by a
vertical positioning screw
Saddle and Swivel Table. The saddle is on the knee and supports the table. Swivel table is
attached to the saddle that swiveled (revolved) horizontally in both directions.
Power Feed Mechanism. The power feed mechanism is used to control in longitudinal (left
and right), transverse (in and out), and vertical (up and down) feeds.
Table. The table is used to hold the work or for work holding devices. There are several T-
slots to hold work and work holding devices (jigs and fixtures).
Spindle. The spindle is used to hold and drive the cutting tools of a milling machine. The
spindle is driven by an electric motor via gear trains and gear trains are on the column.
Over Arm/ Overhanging Arm. Overarm is a horizontal beam and it is on the top face of the
column. It may be a single casting and slides on the dovetail way which is on the top face of
the column.
Arbor Support. Arbor support is casting with a bearing that supports the outer end of a arbor.
It also helps to align the outer end of the arbor with the spindle. Arbor support prevents the
springing of the outer end of arbor in cutting operations
Ram. The ram is an overhanging arm in a vertical milling machine. The one end of the ram is
mounted on the top of the column and the milling head is attached to another.

Why is important the milling machine in the industry?
Milling machine is one of the most important machine in manufacturing. This machine is used
to shape solid materials especially metals. It is mostly used in shaping flat and irregular
surfaces. It can be used for drilling, cutting gears, boring and producing slots.
