A STUDY ON DETAIL SPECIFICATIONS OF VERTICAL MILLING MACHINE REQUIRED IN INDUSTRY

Abstract

From many decades Vertical Milling Centre has been used to make industrial parts and part assembly in
many applications like: military and defense sectors, Automation, Mechanical Industries, and Automobile Industry etc.
Scientific literature presents many different approaches for manufacturing Vertical Milling Centre.
In recent years, the development of computer technology resulted in the integration of design and manufacturing systems
and automated inspection/gauging systems in manufacturing engineering applications.
Essentially, the machining center is a completely automated, computer-controlled milling machine with 3 dimensional
cutting capabilities, characterized by very high absolute positional accuracy, relative repeatability, rigidity, and cutting
speed. A wide range of rotary cutting tool types (with automatic tool changing), in conjunction with the three -
dimensional programmable relative movement between the cutting tools and mounting table, allows the machining of
complex structure shapes and patterns in a wide range of metallic materials that cannot be fabricated using manual
milling machines.
The high precision Vertical Machining Center (VMC) must meet or exceed the following
“Mechanical Performance Specifications” to meet the requirement of industry.
In this paper description of detail specification of VMC is summarized keeping in view the requirements of
manufacturing unit.
The specifications are divided in to various sub headings for better understanding of each specification in brief
