Take a figurative step back from the machine and look at it. Allow your eyes to follow the lines of the cable and note the placement of all the control panels and manual controls. You should be able to imagine an operator at the machine without any part of their body impeding the automatic processes of the machine, while remaining in control of it. If you are looking at a vertical milling machine, or a combined one with horizontal milling machine capabilities- you want to make sure that there is a clear path of operation to reduce production breaks. Look to the milling head The milling head will make or break your vertical milling machine, or your horizontal milling machine. If you are using one of the streamlined dual or travel models, it becomes even more important to make sure the head is of a high quality. That means it has to have a spindle sleeve controls that are both manual and automatic for the greatest production speed and accuracy. It should also be easily accessible by the operator and made with the best electronics and machine parts from Taiwan. The worktable When you are looking at the work table you need to look at more than the size and form, but the quality of the bed. The work table beds should be of a high tensile strength and be heat hardened. You don't want a sub-quality table or they can cause the piece to shift during the milling process. Raising and lowering the table should be equal parts of automated and manual control. You should also be able to easily attach and use a machine vise to the worktable too. Ease of transfer There are two different aspects to evaluating the ease of transfer with a vertical milling machine and a horizontal milling machine. The first is to look at the head and spindle to see how much is involved in shifting between milling types. The second is to look at how the machine is designed to make sure that none of the cables, or any of the operators, is put into the path of transfer. The DXMC Milling vertical milling machine is designed with transfer safety and efficiency in mind. These are DMXC dual machines also capable of functioning as a horizontal milling machine as well. The design for the feeder cables keeps them away from the moving head and bed. The controls are up and offset so the operator has to have their hands out of the transfer area as well.
