Milling Machines
A milling machine uses a horizontal arbor or vertical spindle to rotate a cutting tool above a horizontal table that moves a clamped and stationary workpiece using feed motion transmitted from the machine tool. The cutting tool shaves off and removes small sections of material from the surfaces of the workpiece until its final machined specifications are produced. For example, face milling creates a flat surface on the workpiece, periphery milling generates a primary surface parallel to the spindle rotation, and slot milling produces a slot or channel in the workpiece.
Multi-Axis Machines Open the Door to Countless Possibilities
The speed, versatility, flexibility and precision of multi-axis machines supports a wide range of industries and part sizes.

Expanded efficiencies built into turning centers and lathes result in productivity increases for shops of all sizes.
Shops rely on the latest technologies to make it faster, better, cheaper.
Circular machining with low radial engagement and constant feed per tooth extends tool life by minimizing heat and vibration when machining extremely hard materials. CAM and control developers are making it easier for any size shop to add this technique to their capabilities.
Like the company’s other combination mills, Kent Industrial’s KTM-VH500EVS enhances efficiency by enabling operators to perform horizontal and vertical milling with the same machine. Operators can make heavier, deeper cuts without extra setup time.
ANCA is celebrating the versatile FX machine platform as the 1,000th FX5 rolls out the door.
Siemens brings a new level of motion control to the stand-alone and networked machine market. This new servo package expands the SINAMICS drive offering a variety of application possibilities to the standard servo market.
ANCA’s continuous and complete tool production from longer bar stock to finished product using an automated solution saves time by eliminating extra processes or handling.
