The movement of the part, longitudinal and vertical, is carried out using a caliper. For manual movement, an OF 55 feed screw is used, if the movement is mechanical, a gearbox is used. The feed is changed using the handles, switching off is carried out using the end stops. When performing precise work, they use measuring tiles and a pointer, they are placed in specialized clamps. Over the years of production of the OF 55 milling machine, several upgrades have been made.

Convenience during work is achieved by using two spindles, and the vertical one can change the inclined angle. This is due to its location on the trunk, which extends. Ideal processing conditions for parts are achieved due to the ability to change spindle speeds over a wide range.

With frequent use, it is necessary to monitor the lubrication of the bearings; this information is provided by the lubrication card. Sometimes lubrication is required:

  • immediate;
  • crankcase;
  • automatic.

The following advantages during operation can be emphasized:

  • normal control;
  • small sizes;
  • vibration absorption by heavy Base;
  • the ability to do chiselling.

Getting spare parts for OF 55 milling machines is not a problem. But its use in private households is difficult. Professionals, in their own articles, say that the model has excellent properties, but is quite complex and expensive.

Design

Drawing – Machine OF 55

Bed – consists of two parts: the pedestal and the bed itself. The pedestal is made hollow and serves to store coolant. The bed has a box-shaped section. At the top of the machine there is a gearbox that can transmit different numbers of revolutions to the machine spindles. At the bottom of the machine there is a feed box with up to 12 different modes, which are transmitted to the support and horizontal slide. At the very bottom, in a special niche, the electrical equipment of the machine is located. In the upper part of the bed, the spindle head moves along horizontal guides, and the caliper moves along the vertical guides of the bed. The electric motor driving the machine is mounted on the bracket at the rear of the frame.

Caliper – designed for longitudinal and vertical movement of parts. Parts can be moved either manually or mechanically. Manual movement is carried out by two handwheels. Mechanical movement is carried out from the feed box.

Horizontal spindle – located in the headstock body on rolling bearings.

Vertical spindle – the spindle head is a removable part of the machine. It is mounted on a special trunk, fixed in the upper guides of the headstock with two crackers. The design feature of the trunk will allow you to rotate the head of the vertical spindle by 45° in both directions.

The 6T12 cantilever milling machine refers to equipment that is designed to work with parts made of cast iron, steel, and various alloys. The unit is reliable and rigid, and is a continuation of similar units of the P series.

Used in single and serial production for various industries. The machine is unified and is capable of operating in three modes: automatic, jog and manual. The main advantage for industry is the high productivity and long service life of this equipment.

Design features of the machine

The main purpose of the machine is milling the surfaces of workpieces with cutters of various shapes. The machine is designed for installation of shaped, cylindrical and finger cutting tools.

To increase processing accuracy, the design provides two types of feed: vertical and longitudinal. In addition to the milling function, a corner table with a horizontal surface can be installed on a table with a vertical working plane. Increased functionality is possible by installing additional components - a dividing head, a part clamp, etc.

Design features of the machine:

  • bed made of cast iron. It helps reduce vibration levels, improves processing quality and maintenance-free operation time;
  • chiseling function. To implement it, you need to purchase an additional device;
  • the presence of two spindles - horizontal and vertical. Each of them has a wide range of parameters - rotation speed, feed, etc.;
  • classic arrangement of components and controls. This contributes to minimal training time for personnel to operate this machine.

Another feature of the equipment is the vertical spindle head assembly. It is located on a flexible trunk, which allows you to process workpieces in hard-to-reach places.

The machine is used in small-scale production and for completing workshops. However, its installation in enterprises with mass production is currently impractical due to its outdated design and the impossibility of modernization.

Advantages

The model in question has several advantages:

  • The cast bed eliminates vibration from the working area, which ensures high-quality processing of parts.
  • Slotting operations. After installing additional devices on the machine, you can perform chiselling.
  • Small dimensions allow it to be installed in almost any room.
  • Classic controls ensure quick mastery of the unit.

12 spindle speeds allow you to choose the most suitable maintenance mode.

Main characteristics

The designs of the OF-55, as well as its characteristics, are varied and are divided into several categories:

  • Console machines are equipped with a support console on which the mechanism table is located.
  • Non-cantilever units, where a surface is located on a static frame that can move longitudinally and transversely.
  • Continuous rotation drum units.

Features of the models

For a horizontal console modification, moving the console along the rack guides is one of the main movements. There is a table and a slide on it. The unit is equipped with a horizontal shaft and a retractable trunk.

The universal modification allows you to set the surface to the required angle.

The highly versatile machine is equipped with a spindle head that can rotate in two directions. This allows you to install the cutter at the required angle to the working area and the workpiece.

The OF 55 vertical milling machine is equipped with a vertical shaft installed in a rotating head attached to a stand.

Vertical milling machine OF 55

The cantileverless vertical design is designed for working with large workpieces. The area moves along a customizable bed. The spindle head moves along the orientation of the rack.

The horizontal console-less unit is also equipped with a table that runs along the guides of the frame and a spindle head that moves along the guides of the rack.

Longitudinal milling structures are used for processing large-sized workpieces. A crossbar on which the milling heads are mounted is fixed to the vertically positioned racks. During operation, the table moves along the orientation of the racks.

Rotary milling units are equipped with end mills, which are required for primary and finishing processing of workpieces. The table rotates continuously according to the bed settings. The spindle head runs along the guides of the rack.

On a drum-milling tool, the part is mounted on a drum, which performs rotational movements. The heads move along the aiming posts.

The installation passport contains a detailed description of each modification, tool and accessories included in the kit.

Advantages and disadvantages of equipment

The advantages of machines type 675P include:

  • Good vibration absorption due to the massive cast iron bed, which guarantees high quality machining of parts.
  • Wide range of sizes of processed parts (up to 80 cm in length and up to 25 cm in width).
  • Expanded functionality (allows impact operations using the included head).
  • Possibility of installation in tool shops and small workshops.
  • Simple and intuitive controls.
  • Extended range of rotation speeds of both spindles, which allows you to select the optimal processing mode.

The machine provides the possibility of using another spindle head mounted on a retractable trunk. This auxiliary unit is capable of rotating in both planes at angles of ±90 degrees.

The relative disadvantages of these models include insufficiently high reliability, as well as low productivity, which is why they are not suitable for large-scale production.

Purpose and description of the machine

The design and manufacture of the OF 55 model was carried out by a machine tool manufacturer in the city of Vladimir, which began its activities in 1935. His design bureau developed and launched into production in 1967 the OF 55 milling machine, the technical characteristics of which were at a high level and made it possible to produce high-precision products. This year can be considered the year of release. The model has not been produced for a long time, but its high quality allows them to still be used in enterprises.

Milling equipment

The industry produces metal-cutting units, which are divided into nine groups. The sixth group includes machines that perform milling operations. They can machine surfaces, various grooves, grooves, gears, splines and much more. The instruction manual contains more information.

The machines are distinguished by their design features:

continuously operating; console; non-console.

According to the operations performed, the equipment can be divided into:

specialized; general purpose.

Each type has distinctive features, the description of which is contained in the product passport. All mechanisms are characterized by the movement of the cutter and feed, and the feed can relate to the workpiece or the cutter. The value of such a parameter as the size of the table also matters. To simplify the maintenance of the units, they are unified.

Sectional view of the OF-55 machine

The largest part of the equipment used is cantilever-milling models. The console, which provides a number of advantages during milling, reduces rigidity at the junction with the frame. To avoid this, increase the length of the console guides. For repair and tool areas, the production of widely universal machines has been established, their purpose is a small series or single production. The units have the ability to work with the part manually using a feed screw.

It should be remembered that the operating instructions must be carefully studied before starting work.

Characteristics of CNC Milling Machines

Milling machines are a whole group of equipment for processing various materials.

  • Universal
  • Horizontal milling console
  • Widely versatile
  • Vertical milling
  • Consoleless
  • With mobile portal
  • Copying
  • Rotary milling
  • Drum milling

Each type of machine has its own specifics, used for specific tasks and materials. In theory, any type of machine can be equipped with a CNC system, but we will consider the most popular type of this equipment - portal. Portal CNC machines are three-, four- and five-axis, without an automatic tool change system; with linear, drum and carousel automatic tool changing system. Also, one of the important types of machine equipment is the type of table; it comes with a T-slot or a vacuum clamp.

Kinematic diagram of the universal milling machine FS-250

Kinematic diagram of the universal milling machine FS-250

Description of the kinematic diagram of the FS-250 milling machine

The machine is driven by a two-speed electric motor type 4AM100 S6/4Y3 with a power of N=1.8/2.1 kW and a rotation speed of 1000/1500 rpm.

The movement from the electric motor is transmitted by a V-belt transmission to the gearbox receiving shaft and then in two directions:

  1. on horizontal and vertical spindle;
  2. on the feed box and the support carrying the vertical table.

Different 12 values ​​of rotation speed of the horizontal and vertical spindles are obtained at the following gearbox positions:

  1. 4-5-7-2-1-8-9-16 ⇨ 42/72 rpm
  2. 3-6-7-2-1-8-9-16 ⇨ 112/170 rpm
  3. 1-8-9-16 (gear clutches 2-3 meshed) ⇨ 213/310 rpm
  4. 4-5-8-9-16 (gear clutches 7-8 meshed) ⇨ 310/4.80 rpm
  5. 3-6-8-9-16 (gear clutches 7-8 meshed) ⇨ 745/1130 rpm
  6. 2-7-8-9-16 (gear clutches 7-8 and 2-3 are meshed) ⇨ 1410/2150 rpm

The vertical spindle receives rotation from gears 16 of the horizontal spindle through gears 1 5, 14, 13. The movement to the feed box is carried out by a bushing-roller chain drive with a drive sprocket 47 sitting on the receiving shaft of the gearbox, and a receiving sprocket 46 of the input shaft of the feed box.

Various feeds “transmitted to the caliper and vertical table are obtained with the following positions of the gearbox gears:

  1. 45-43-44-40-42-37-35-34-33-32-20-19(18) ⇨ 10/15 mm/min
  2. 45-43-44-40-39-38-35-34-33-32-20-19(18) ⇨ 27/44 mm/min
  3. 45-43-42-37-35-34-33-32-20-19(18) ⇨ 37/55 mm/min
  4. 45-43-44-40-41-36-35-34-33-32-20-19(18) ⇨ 72/110 mm/min
  5. 45-43-42-39-38-35-34-33-32-20-19(18) ⇨ 100/150 mm/min
  6. 45-43-42-41-36-35-34-33-32-20-19(18) ⇨ 250/380 mm/min

When gear 18 is turned on, the feed direction changes.

The movement to the caliper is transmitted from the lead shaft to the lead screw 29 through gears 27-26 (in this case, the gear half-coupling 27 is engaged with the coupling half 48).

To move the caliper in the opposite direction, the movement from the drive roller is transmitted through gears 23-22-21 to the lead screw 29 (in this case, the gear half-coupling 23 is engaged with the coupling half 49).

Manual feeding of the vertical table is carried out by the caliper handwheel - handwheel 51, the headstock of the horizontal spindle - by handwheel 52.

The movement of the vertical spindle quill in the vertical head body is carried out with a special key and a square 53 roller - gear, which is meshed with the quill rack.

The feed mechanism is protected from damage by a ball-type safety device (gear half-coupling 34 and half-coupling 54) adjusted by a nut 55.

The safety clutch must ensure movement of the caliper with an installed horizontal table, loaded with a load of 800N, at an accelerated feed with alternately switched on working feeds of 10 and 380 mm/min.

Ensuring the reliability of the operation of the protective devices is determined by the fact that the safety clutch must operate when resistance to movement is created by a force of 50 N applied to the handle of the manual table feed handwheel in the vertical plane at a feed of 10 mm/min.

OF-55 Purpose and scope of a universal milling machine

OF-55 is the first widely-universal high-precision tool milling machine developed and put into production in 1967 - an analogue of the German FP-1 milling machine.

The milling machine model OF-55 (OF55) is designed for milling parts with cylindrical, disk and shaped cutters using a horizontal spindle, and face, end and key cutters using a rotating vertical spindle, which, if necessary, can be rotated at an angle.

Design features and operating principle of the machine

The OF-55 machine has two mechanical feeds - vertical (movement of the support along the guides of the frame) and longitudinal (movement of the table along the guides of the support). Cross feed (spindle head movement) is manual.

Two-speed electric motor at 1000 rpm and 1500 rpm, power 1.6/2.3 kW 380 V.
