Special Purpose Machines

• Site Survey:

  • Conduct a detailed assessment of the existing and new machine locations.

  • Verify floor strength, space availability, and alignment with utility connections (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc.).

• Power & Utility Disconnection:

  • Disconnect all power supplies, air lines, coolant connections, and control wiring as per safety protocols.

  • Ensure that Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures are followed.

• Tool & Accessory Removal:

  • Remove all cutting tools, workpieces, jigs, and fixtures from the machine.

  • Secure or remove any movable parts to avoid shifting during transport.

DUPLEX milling machine is also called as Twin milling machine .Duple milling machine is a special purpose machine.WORKING PRINCIPLE :Duplex milling machine has the working principle is thatmachine will have two spindles, exactly opposite to each other, mounted onindependent slides, to facilitate depth of cut while face milling. Also there will bea main table slide between the two spindle slide. This slide will be of sufficientstroke for providing feed for face milling of jobs, kept on the table and clampedfor a length equivalent to the table.Advantages Of a Duplex Milling MachineFlat, square and parallel tolerances to 0.001”Process capability to mill virtually any material, including exoticsStock removal to precision tolerances on all six sides.Finish tolerance to 16 Ra .Duplex mills can handle various length pieces and produce blanks with very closetolerances.It provides cost effective alternatives to in-house fly cutting, face milling andgrinding.It includes a reduction of internal stress in many metals.Production increases up to 50% in relation to conventional solutions i.e. individualmilling machine.Only one operator can control both duplex milling machines.Synchronization of the CNC programs to increase productivity.It is employed mainly to machine I section surfaces.Applications Of Duplex Milling MachineCNC duplex milling machine is designed for heavy face milling operation ontypical components like engine blocks, cylinder heads, compressor bodieswhich categorized to the automobile industries, MS slabs etc.
