Some of the most important tools that our industries rely on are the boring milling machines. Usually large, powerful and very versatile in what they can do, they are capable to machine any kind of materials like wood, plastics, and metal.
Classification and Uses
There are two major types of boring milling machines and these are the horizontal and the vertical milling machines. Both can efficiently work on any type of work pieces even of complex shapes such as parts of windmills, huge motor blocks of engines and turbines. These are essential parts of machines used by generators in producing or converting renewable energy source into electrical energy.
Among the boring machines, the horizontal boring types are more adaptable to the more rugged environment. These are commonly used in boring hard materials from plastic up to the hardest cast iron or steel. Many engine makers in the shipbuilding, chemical, mining, transportation and power generation industries use this type of boring mills as the best solution to cut out their metals according to their needs.
Vertical boring milling machines are used mainly in machining large castings and metal blocks that are too large and heavy for regular mills or by horizontal boring machines. This is why the materials that are to be bored are clamped to metal beds and a boring tool is introduced vertically to enlarge holes.
Enhancing The Metal Shaping Industry
One of the most recognized importers of the highest quality boring and milling machines in Canada is our company, TOS America Inc. We source out our machines from FERMAT which is a known heavy duty machine and equipment manufacturer in the Czech Republic. FERMAT machinery is now in high demand in Canada.
To further enhance FERMAT’s technology, FERMAT was invited to participate in the AMB, an international exhibition for the world’s best companies in metalworking industries held in Stuttgart, Germany in September. FERMAT has showcased some of its latest boring mills and milling machines and also more of its tools and accessories.
