The Piece of Machinery That Every Manufacturer Must Have

High efficiency and high volume production are the two fundamental success factors in every manufacturing industry and the manufacturers’ best friend to accomplish both are the boring milling machines. This equipment is very versatile that can perform other multiple tasks aside from boring and milling. With the right tools and accessories paired with these powerful machines, they can also be used for drilling and threading.

The performance and productivity of boring milling machines are further improved by the arrival of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology. Through the help of this powerful CNC technology, axes and peripheral tools used such as rotary tables and milling heads can be controlled faster and more precise. This results in higher levels of accuracy and reduced production time for manufacturers. The most advanced boring mills are capable of boring holes and cutting various materials. They can even work their powerful strength through super alloys, high tensile steels, and titanium.

The improvements made in today’s boring milling machines include greater stiffness, higher speed and horsepower, as well as feed capacity. The highest specification for horsepower available is at around 200 Hp. These machines also come in different variations namely, line boring mill, tunnel boring mill, directional boring mill, jig boring mill, cylinder boring mill, horizontal and vertical boring machines. Among them, the most widely utilized by the manufacturing and processing industries are the horizontal and vertical boring mills.

With such numerous applications, the use of these boring milling machines also entails careful consideration of many things, including the concentricity of the hole to be created and the drill’s straightness. To achieve these precisions, there are two forces that have to be annulled during operation: the tangential and radial cutting force. Once these forces take effect, they can make a hole non-concentric and not centered. So, they have to be negated to obtain the precision needed to bore the desired holes.
