FAQ's of G Dufour France Universal Milling Machine:
Q: How does the built-in coolant system benefit my milling operations?
A: The built-in coolant tank keeps both the spindle and workpiece at optimal temperatures during machining, reducing tool wear and ensuring smooth, precise cuts for prolonged periods-especially valuable in heavy-duty industrial applications.
Q: What table travels are supported by this machine, and what does that mean for my projects?
A: The machine offers 900 mm longitudinal, 300 mm cross, and 400 mm vertical table travel. These generous movements accommodate larger workpieces or complex setups, enhancing flexibility for a wide variety of milling tasks.
Q: When should I use the universal swivel feature on the machine?
A: The 360 universal swivel is ideal for milling angular or complex surfaces. Use it whenever your project requires non-standard angles or intricate part geometries to maximize precision without repositioning your workpiece manually.
Q: Where can this milling machine be installed for optimal usage?
A: Its heavy-duty construction (approx. 2000 kg) and floor footprint (1800 x 1700 mm) require a stable, industrial-floor environment with proper anchoring and access to three-phase 415 V power, common in most manufacturing plants.
Q: What is included with the G Dufour Universal Milling Machine?
A: Standard accessories include a dividing head, arbor supports, vertical head, built-in coolant tank, and a centralized automatic lubrication system, providing users with necessary tools for versatile and efficient milling operations.
Q: How does the centralized automatic lubrication system enhance operation?
A: It delivers continuous lubrication to all critical moving parts, minimizing maintenance needs, preventing premature wear, and ensuring lasting smooth operation during long working cycles.
Q: What are the main benefits of manual feed control on this machine?
A: Manual feed gives operators full control over cutting speed and feed rate, allowing for precision adjustments in real-time and the ability to fine-tune operations for specialized or delicate workpieces.
