Engineered for Precision MetalworkingBridgeport's Vertical Turret Milling Machine delivers exceptional accuracy and reliable performance for demanding metal fabrication tasks. Manual handwheel controls allow for precise adjustments, while the dovetail slideways and variable speed spindle ensure superior surface finish and accuracy. Suitable for both prototyping and production, its sturdy cast iron and steel construction guarantee long-term stability and reduced vibration.
Versatile Operation and AdjustabilityDesigned for a broad range of machining applications, the machine's head tilts up to 45 left and right, and swivels 360, enhancing flexibility for complex milling operations. Variable spindle speeds adapt to different materials, and adjustable ram and knee travel maximize workspace accessibility. Operators benefit from manual control and the option to add a coolant system for extended tasks.
FAQ's of Bridgeport USA Vertical Turret Milling machine:
Q: How is the Bridgeport USA Vertical Turret Milling Machine operated?
A: This milling machine is manually operated using hand wheels for precise control of table movement, quill travel, and spindle adjustment. There is no CNC system; all functions are performed by the operator, allowing for hands-on precision and adaptability.
Q: What type of work can I perform with this machine?
A: The Bridgeport Vertical Turret Milling Machine is ideal for precision machining, metalworking, and fabrication of components. Its capacity allows for milling, drilling, slotting, and boring operations on materials like steel and cast iron, supporting up to 500 kg table load.
Q: Where can the milling machine be installed for optimal use?
A: The machine should be installed in workshops, factories, or fabrication facilities with sufficient floor space-at least 1600 mm x 1500 mm-and access to three-phase AC power (220V/380V). A robust, level foundation is essential to ensure stability and performance.
Q: What are the benefits of the variable spindle speed?
A: Variable spindle speed (60 to 4200 RPM) enables the operator to match cutting speed to material type and tooling, optimizing efficiency, accuracy, and tool life. This flexibility is essential for handling a wide range of metals and machining requirements.
Q: How do I adjust the head tilt and ram travel?
A: The head can be tilted up to 45 to the left or right using dedicated adjustment levers, and the turret head swivels a full 360. The ram can be manually moved up to 12 inches to achieve the desired working position and reach.
Q: Is a coolant system included with the Bridgeport milling machine?
A: A coolant system is optional and can be fitted to the machine depending on the user's application and machining needs. It helps dissipate heat and reduces tool wear during prolonged operations.
