Correa Flat Bed Milling Machines

What is a Flat Bed Milling Machine?

What sets a flat bed milling machine apart from other types of milling machines is the unique way a workpiece is mounted. With a bed milling machine, the workpiece is mounted onto a flat horizontal bed with the spindle placed horizontally. The spindle moves along the bed in an X-axis direction to create the end product.

As the spindle works horizontally, workpieces can be carefully crafted with this added stability. The flat bed milling machine design offers a more uniform distribution of cutting forces and leads to unmatched precision.

Correa Flat Bed Milling Machines FAQs

What is a bed milling machine?

A bed milling machine uses a flat horizontal bed to mount workpieces, providing greater stability and enabling the creation of more accurate and precise products. Unlike other milling machines, the spindle works horizontally and operates on the X-axis. This not only adds to the stability of the machine but also crafts end products that can be replicated with ease.

What is the difference between turret milling and bed milling?

The main difference between these two forms of milling machines is turret milling operates on a vertical axis, whereas bed milling uses a horizontal axis. This affects the performance of a milling machine depending on the application.

For example, flat bed milling machines are ideal for large and heavy-duty workpieces as they offer increased stability. However, due to their vertical milling orientation, turret milling machines are more suitable for processes that require deep cutting.

What is the difference between the Correa Norma Bed Milling Machine and the Correa Xperta Bed Milling Machine?

The key difference between the different bed milling machines in the Correa range is the features they offer. The Correa Norma Bed Milling Machine offers a standard option for those who require a more basic machine, whereas the Correa Xperta provides a more enhanced performance.

Although both flat bed milling machines offer the same features, the Correa Xperta is the ideal choice for businesses that require a greater level of precision and accuracy. With the addition of more advanced control systems and design elements, the Correa Xperta can offer more flexibility when crafting workpieces.
