About CNC Gantry Type Milling and Drilling Machine BT50 Main Spindle
Application:
Suitable for drilling, chamfering, tapping, and milling of plate/structural components.
It is primarily dedicated to high-efficiency drilling of workpieces such as flanges, discs, rings, and plates with thickness within the effective range. The drilling of through holes and blind holes can be achieved on both single-material parts and composite materials. The machining process of the machine tool is digitally controlled, featuring highly convenient operation. It enables automated, high-precision, multi-variety, and mass production.
1. Workbench:
The workbench is fabricated from gray iron (HT250), undergoing finish machining after secondary tempering and power treatment. It features a sound internal structure with no deformation, and the work surface adopts a cast structure.
2. Movable Gantry:
The movable gantry is constructed from gray cast iron (HT250). The front side of the gantry is equipped with two rolling linear guide pairs with ultra-high load-bearing capacity, a set of precision ball screws, and a servo motor. These components enable the power head slide plate to move along the Y-axis, with the drilling power head mounted on the power head slide plate. The movement of the gantry is achieved through the servo motor driving the rotation of the ball screw via a precision coupling.
3. Movable Saddle:
The saddle is a precision cast iron structural component. It is equipped with two CNC hard-rail sliding tables with ultra-high load-bearing capacity, a set of precision ball screw pairs, and a high-precision planetary reducer connected to the servo motor. This configuration drives the drilling power head to move along the Z-axis, enabling actions such as rapid advance, working feed, rapid retraction, and stopping of the power head. It is also equipped with functions of automatic chip breaking, chip removal, and pause.
