Summit #3 Series Milling Machine
The Summit #3 series milling machines are designed
to provide extreme accuracy with high reliability in a heavily constructed
versatile machine. The heavy cast iron construction makes these mills the ideal
choice for job shops, maintenance shops and tool and die shops, said Summit.
They can be successfully used for single piece, small lot or high production
applications. The large choice of spindle speeds coupled with infinitely
variable feed rates provide for optimum cutting conditions in ferrous and
non-ferrous metals.
"A few of the outstanding design features include;
an alloy steel main spindle that is thermally treated and precision ground then
fixed on high accuracy bearings; a heavily proportioned saddle assembly that
travels on precision ground ways that assure rigidity and stability under
extreme loads; and an automatic lubrication system that ensures consistent
lubrication of the spindle. Spindle speed change is easily accomplished using
the clearly identified levers and charts mounted on the column or the overarm.
The feed rate is infinitely variable and controlled by a potentiometer on the
conveniently located control panel," said a Summit spokesperson.
"The engineering excellence, fine workmanship,
quality materials and robust specifications of the Summit #3 Series Universal
Horizontal Mills assures users greater production and trouble free operation for
years to come.
"Three different vertical heads are available on
the #3 series mills. The 3UH offers a universal head that can be fixed to and
driven by the horizontal spindle; the 3UH-POA-U incorporates a universal head
that is mounted to the over-arm and is driven by a separate 5.5-HP motor; the
3UH-POA-Q incorporates a universal head with a moveable quill that is mounted to
the over-arm and is driven by a separate 5.5-HP motor. The addition of the
vertical head allows the
#3 series to be used as vertical mills adding to their
versatility. The 50 taper allows users to use all of their standard tool holders
in either spindle.
"The variable frequency drive enables immediate
response to the infinitely variable cutting feed rates, in either the high or
low range on the table, so that feed rates can be tweaked up or down during a
cut to optimize tool life and part finish.
"The column is designed with box ways for vertical
movement of the knee and the knee is designed with box ways for cross movement
of the saddle. The ways are widely dimensioned to provide rigidity and reduce
vibration. The infinitely variable feed motor and two range gearbox is mounted
on the right side of the knee.
"The electrical controls are located on the lower
side of the column in a separate box which protects them against humidity and
dust. They are easily accessible. The controls are supplied with 24 volts to
meet safety standards. All electric motors are protected against overloading and
short circuits," said the spokesperson.
