DMV Series Milling Machines

Looking to drill, bore, cut, or make slots? Look no further than the extensive DMV series of milling machines in stock in Philadelphia and ready to ship from KAAST Machine Tools. Offering both bed-type and knee mills with either manual or CNC options, this Taiwanese series provides high-quality performance.

The DMV 380 CNC bed-type milling machine is a bed-type milling machine featuring a vertical drilling and milling head with a ±45° swivel and an automatic spindle feed. It also utilizes the award winning, conversational Fagor 8055i controls, intended for operators with or without G-code experience. This software is for high-speed machining, with advanced algorithms included to ensure a high degree of accuracy with each use.

With interface customizing tools, free software download with no time limit to work at any PC, and axis position control (position loop) every 250 µs, the Fagor CNC analyzes in advance the changes in the movements of the axes providing high-speed machining analyzing 2,400 blocks in advance with a block processing time is 0.25 ms.

Also available is the DMVH 305 VS knee mill, combining both the traditional vertical turret found on knee mills with a 40 taper 5-hp horizontal spindle.

Offering infinitely variable speed control, the entire DMV series offers quiet operation with V-belt drive, a swivel range left and right ±45°, and rotation of the upper arm around the column 360° This diverse series offers table sizes ranging from 10x50” to 20x87”, allowing users to select the appropriate size for their specific needs. All of these machines offer box ways on the Y-axis and column, semi-guarding (full guarding available), and 3-axis digital read out.

Manufactured in Taiwan from Meehanite cast iron, which is annealed and stress-released, providing high rigidity and wear resistance. All guideways are coated with Turcite B and the XYZ slideways, table, and T-Slots are hardened and ground.

Standard configuration:
● Electronic hand-wheels for manual operation with simple and easy DRO mode
● Constant Surface Speed for better finishes
● Graphic display of toolpath
● Built-in tool library for tool management
● Automatic lubrication system
● Center sleeve
● Leveling pads and bolts
● Electrical handwheel (MPG)
● Automatic speed change
● Work light

Related Glossary Terms

  • computer numerical control ( CNC)

    computer numerical control ( CNC)

    Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.

  • feed

    feed

    Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.

  • gang cutting ( milling)

    gang cutting ( milling)

    Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.

  • milling

    milling

    Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.

  • milling machine ( mill)

    milling machine ( mill)

    Runs endmills and arbor-mounted milling cutters. Features include a head with a spindle that drives the cutters; a column, knee and table that provide motion in the three Cartesian axes; and a base that supports the components and houses the cutting-fluid pump and reservoir. The work is mounted on the table and fed into the rotating cutter or endmill to accomplish the milling steps; vertical milling machines also feed endmills into the work by means of a spindle-mounted quill. Models range from small manual machines to big bed-type and duplex mills. All take one of three basic forms: vertical, horizontal or convertible horizontal/vertical. Vertical machines may be knee-type (the table is mounted on a knee that can be elevated) or bed-type (the table is securely supported and only moves horizontally). In general, horizontal machines are bigger and more powerful, while vertical machines are lighter but more versatile and easier to set up and operate.

    toolpath( cutter path)

    2-D or 3-D path generated by program code or a CAM system and followed by tool when machining a part.

  • wear resistance

    wear resistance

    Ability of the tool to withstand stresses that cause it to wear during cutting; an attribute linked to alloy composition, base material, thermal conditions, type of tooling and operation and other variables.
