What This Machine Does
The X6436 is a universal ram milling machine that drills and mills with servo-driven automatic feed on all three axes, including automatic rapid feed, so the time spent traversing between cuts does not eat into the cycle. The milling head swivels a full 360 degrees and the worktable swivels plus or minus 45 degrees, which together put the cutter at almost any orientation relative to the part without a special fixture. The table measures 1500 x 360 mm with travels of 1000 / 320 / 450 mm and three T slots 18 mm wide on 80 mm spacing. The spindle takes ISO 40 in the vertical position and ISO 50 in the horizontal, with speed ranges of 48 to 1660 rpm vertical and 40 to 1300 rpm horizontal, driven by a powerful main motor. A rotary table and a longer worktable can be ordered at special request where the work calls for them.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Servo-driven automatic feed on X Y and Z removes hand cranking from every axis
- Automatic rapid feed on all three axes cuts the dead time between cuts
- Milling head swivels 360 degrees so the cutter can be set at almost any orientation
- Worktable swivels plus or minus 45 degrees for angled work without a fixture
- ISO 40 vertical and ISO 50 horizontal spindle tapers cover light and heavy tooling
- Spindle speed from 48 to 1660 rpm vertical and 40 to 1300 rpm horizontal suits a wide tool range
- Rotary table and longer worktable available to special order
Where X6436 Universal Drilling and Milling Machine Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Hand feeding three axes is slow and gives an uneven cut on long passes
- Winding the table back between cuts wastes time that automatic rapid feed recovers
- Angled features need tilting fixtures unless the head and table can both swivel
- A single spindle taper forces a compromise between light and heavy tooling
- A narrow speed range means small cutters run too slowly and large ones too fast
- Parts longer than the standard table have to be re-clamped mid-job unless a longer table is fitted
Who It Is For
- Machine shops that want automatic feeds without moving to full CNC
- Toolrooms machining parts at varied angles
- Production shops running repeat batches on a manual-style machine
- Maintenance workshops with mixed drilling and milling work
- Distributors supplying universal ram milling machines
Application Scenarios
- Drilling and milling parts up to the 1500 x 360 mm table in one setup
- Angular machining using the 360 degree head and plus or minus 45 degree table swivel
- Horizontal milling with ISO 50 tooling on heavier cuts
- Vertical end milling and drilling with ISO 40 tooling
- Batch work where automatic feed and rapid traverse shorten the cycle
- Circular and indexed work when the optional rotary table is fitted

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed
Operations Performed
- Drilling
- Milling
- Vertical milling
- Horizontal milling
- Angular milling
Quality Control
- Spindle run-out checked at both the ISO 40 and ISO 50 positions
- Head swivel and table swivel checked for position accuracy and clamping
- Servo feed and rapid feed run over full travel on all three axes
- Spindle speed range run through and checked under load
- Test drilling and milling cuts taken and measured before packing
Customisation Options
- Rotary table ordered where circular and indexed work is routine
- Longer worktable ordered where your parts exceed the standard 1500 mm table
- Tool holders specified for ISO 40 and ISO 50 tapers to match your tooling
- Supply voltage frequency and phase built for your market
- Manual and machine plates prepared in your working language
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| X6332Z universal drilling and milling machine | The X6332Z is the compact economical machine; the X6436 adds servo feed rapid traverse on all three axes and a 1500 x 360 mm table for larger work |
|---|---|
| X6432A universal swivel head milling machine | The X6432A works from a two-part rotary head with gear-driven feed; the X6436 is the ram type machine where 360 degree head swivel and servo rapid feeds are the priority |
| A knee type mill with manual feeds | Manual feeds tire the operator and vary the surface finish; the X6436 feeds automatically on all three axes and rapids between cuts |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the workpiece in the 18 mm T slots and set the datum
Step 2
Swivel the milling head to the required orientation and swivel the table if an angle is needed
Step 3
Fit the tool in the ISO 40 vertical or ISO 50 horizontal spindle as the operation requires
Step 4
Set the spindle speed within 48 to 1660 rpm vertical or 40 to 1300 rpm horizontal for the tool and material
Step 5
Set the automatic feed rate and use rapid feed to bring the tool to the start of the cut
Step 6
Take a trial cut and measure before running the rest of the part
Step 7
Clear chips from the table and slideways and follow the lubrication schedule
