FAQs of WMW Heckert Vertical Milling Machine:
Q: How do I operate the WMW Heckert Vertical Milling Machine for milling operations?
A: To perform milling, use the manual controls to position the table (X, Y, Z axes) and adjust the spindle speed between 45 to 1800 rpm. Secure your workpiece on the 1320 x 300 mm table using the 16 mm wide T-slots, and set the spindle with an ISO 40 tool holder. Adjust the machine settings based on the material and required finish.
Q: What range of applications can this milling machine handle?
A: The machine is suitable for milling, slotting, drilling, boring, and facing operations. Its high rigidity and precise table travel (900 x 300 x 350 mm) make it ideal for industrial applications such as precision part fabrication, toolroom work, and heavy-duty component machining.
Q: When is central lubrication required, and how does it benefit the machine?
A: Centralized lubrication should be maintained according to the manufacturers recommendations, especially before extended use. This feature ensures all critical moving parts are consistently lubricated, reducing wear, preventing overheating, and ultimately prolonging machine life and enhancing performance.
Q: Where is the WMW Heckert Vertical Milling Machine typically installed?
A: This machine is typically found in industrial settings such as manufacturing plants, toolrooms, and workshop floors where heavy-duty, precise milling operations are necessary. It requires a floor space of approximately 2100 mm x 2600 mm.
Q: What is the process for changing spindle speeds on this machine?
A: Spindle speeds are variable in steps and can be adjusted manually using the control levers on the operator panel. Consult the speed chart provided on the machine to select the correct setting for different materials and operations.
Q: How does the integrated coolant system enhance machining operations?
A: The integrated coolant system provides continuous lubrication and cooling to the workpiece and cutting tool, preventing thermal distortion, improving surface finish, and extending tool life during prolonged or heavy-duty machining sessions.
