The boring process, in general, works similarly to turning as well as performing related cutting operations. Most of the boring machines may appear so complicated but the working principle of horizontal boring equipment is not really that complex. On the other hand, it is quite straightforward. The spindle tool is being connected to the machine in a manner that allows it to move along other axes. In addition, the mill’s layout can vary, depending on the specific types of the application required for boring or milling purposes. For instance, the boring machine can come either as bed-type, floor-type, or ram-type.
Moreover, it is the particular shape of the part to be processed that determines whether a vertical or horizontal boring equipment should be the best type to use. When these two options will be compared, it is the horizontal boring machine that is more flexible since the component being machined can extend itself beyond the envelope even when it is restricted. If there is a new part of the workpiece that has to be processed, it can be just moved along the worktable into the envelope. One crucial factor to consider when working with this boring mill is that the workpiece remains stationary while the spindle is the one that moves.
Conversely, in a vertical boring mill, which is also referred to as a vertical turret lathe, it is the spindle that is fixed and the workpiece moves, as it sits on the ground through a rotating chuck. If your specific application demands an accurate and reliable horizontal boring equipment, just talk with us here at TOS America for high-quality machinery that gets the job done properly. Both our horizontal boring mills and their vertical versions will give your company the speed and precision needed to achieve enhanced productivity. They also come in different types such as planer, table, and floor types. Pick the one that really satisfies your needs.
