Vertical CNC milling machine with a rigid structure and moderate travel, suited to small-to-medium batch machining of mould cavities and plate-type parts; the CNC system can be specified to match budget and process requirements.
Price and lead time are quoted per configuration and quantity. Send us your part or capacity requirement and we will come back with a quotation.
The XK7132 uses a vertical spindle structure with a moderate table size and three-axis travel, making it suitable for small-to-medium batch milling of mould cavities, mould plates, flanges, housings and various plate-type parts. For parts dominated by flat surfaces, steps, grooves and hole patterns, multiple operations can be completed in a single clamping, giving the machine broad versatility.
The CNC system determines the machine's operating experience and its capacity for future expansion. For routine batch production, a general-purpose CNC system is a stable, well-proven option with abundant programming resources; where multi-axis simultaneous motion, high speed and high precision, or connection to a workshop network are involved, an advanced system supporting multi-axis expansion and data interfaces is recommended. Selection should take account of process complexity, operator habits and future capacity plans.
In its standard configuration, the machine's positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy meet the requirements of general moulds and mechanical parts. Actual accuracy is affected by spindle speed, tooling, clamping method, cutting parameters and ambient temperature, among other factors; during first-article trial cutting it is advisable to optimise the process parameters step by step according to material and tolerance requirements.
For continuous milling of steel, cast iron and similar materials, a coolant system is recommended to carry away cutting heat, improve chip evacuation and extend tool life; for high-speed machining of aluminium alloys, mist cooling or high-flow cooling can be selected as needed. Whether to specify it should be decided according to material type and cutting intensity.
To keep the machine running reliably, the following routine maintenance actions are recommended:
Lead time for the standard configuration is relatively short, and is extended accordingly when optional components such as the CNC system or tool changer are specified. At acceptance, it is advisable to check the following items:
| Acceptance item | Check content |
|---|---|
| Appearance and external parts | Sheet metal, guards and panels free from dents and scratches |
| Geometric accuracy | Verify each axis's positioning and repeat positioning accuracy against the accuracy inspection certificate |
| Running test | Idle running, spindle start/stop and tool change action functioning correctly |
| Supplied documentation | Certificate of conformity, manual and accuracy inspection certificate complete |
After acceptance, it is advisable to retain the trial-cut workpiece and parameter records as a process baseline reference for subsequent batch production.
The XK7145 heavy-duty vertical knee-type milling machine features hardened rectangular guideways and a thickened column, delivering high cutting rigidity and excellent vibration resistance for single-piece and small-batch heavy-duty machining in mold and mechanical part workshops.
