A drilling and milling machine is a multi-functional machine tool that integrates drilling and milling functions, widely used in machining, mold manufacturing, and automotive parts production. It combines the features of drilling and milling machines, enabling it to perform various machining tasks such as drilling, reaming, boring, tapping, as well as planar milling and contour milling. The main structure of a drilling and milling machine includes the bed, worktable, spindle box, and feed mechanism. Cutting is achieved through the high-speed rotation of the spindle and the relative movement of the workpiece.
The spindle is driven by a motor, which rotates the cutting tool (drill bit or milling cutter) to cut the workpiece fixed on the worktable. The spindle typically has multiple speed settings to adapt to different materials and machining requirements. The worktable can move along the X, Y, and Z directions to achieve machining of complex shapes. Some high-end drilling and milling machines are also equipped with CNC systems, enabling automated and high-precision machining.
