90 Degree Mill Head



In the UI mechanical engineering relies heavily on manual milling operations for manufacturing specific design components. Most can be accomplished with standard milling procedures (i.e. typical stock set-up with x, y and z manipulation), however some require varying tooling set-ups due to their geometry and limitations of the machines.

Purpose


The 90 degree mill head is a change-over tooling set-up which allows machining part faces which would otherwise be impossible to machine; For instance, a very long part which could not fit in the machine in one or more orientation. The head allows all basic machining abilities, including facing, drilling & tapping, slotting, etc.

Installation
Installation of the 90 degree mill head is not done often, thus careful attention to instructions on how to install it is critical. Note: The 90 degree head reverses rotational direction.
