The CLIMAX LM6200 Linear/Gantry Milling Machine revolutionizes both the capabilities and functionality of portable mills. Four main features makes this one of the best milling machines on the market today:
Rigid, Modular Design
Unique modular bed design allows shorter bed sections to be combined to fit the length of the work area without losing rigidity.
Unique bed length section design provide superior rigidity across the entire bed length.
Connection plates and fasteners optimized to provide the ultimate in rigidity, even when bed is extended by 2 or 3 times the original length.
Powerful, Precise Machining
Features heavy duty spindle design and a choice of Hydraulic Power Units – a 25 Hp (18.6 kW) HPU allows use of cutter heads of up to 10 inches (254.0 mm) in diameter.
Milling can be done in any axis, with a milling head that can rotate 360° with an optional swivel plate for optimal spindle flexibility. An optional Z-axis slide assembly can be used for side milling and to increase the stroke needed for drilling or extended milling operations.
Fast, aggressive milling in horizontal, vertical, or inverted applications.
Provides reliable, precise milling to meet tight machining tolerances in both linear and gantry mill configurations.
Flexible Configuration & Operation
Innovative design allows machine to be configured for traditional linear milling, or simply split the rails lengthwise to configure for gantry milling!!
Electric feeds can be mounted on the X, Y or Z axis.
Machining capabilities include milling, drilling and even boring.
Reduced Friction Rail Technology
Reduced friction rail system allows extremely smooth, continuous, and non stick-slip travel.
Precisely machined and aligned rails with advanced lubrication make machining applications smooth and efficient.
Low friction system reduces maintenance costs and extends product life.
Precision ball screws in X, Y and Z- axis assemblies allow precise location of milling head.
