What This Machine Does
On the X715 the milling head travels up and down the column while the workpiece stays on a fixed bed, which is why the 2100 x 500 mm table can carry up to 2000 kg without the loss of rigidity a knee arrangement brings. That construction is what allows high-duty cutting at accuracy: the cutting load goes into the bed rather than into a raised knee. Travels are 1500 mm longitudinal, 670 mm cross and 670 mm vertical, and the table has four T slots of 20 mm width on 100 mm centres. The spindle takes an ISO 50 7:24 taper and has variable speeds in two steps. X Y and Z all run on ball screws driven by servo motors, so positioning is repeatable rather than dependent on how much backlash has developed in a leadscrew, and a 3-axis digital readout system shows position directly to the operator, which shortens setting and reduces scrapped parts.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Fixed bed with head travel on the column keeps rigidity under heavy cutting instead of losing it in a knee
- Table of 2100 x 500 mm carries loads up to 2000 kg so heavy parts clamp directly
- Travels of 1500 x 670 x 670 mm cover large components in a single setup
- Ball screws on X Y and Z remove leadscrew backlash from the positioning
- Servo motors on all three axes give controlled repeatable feed
- 3-axis digital readout shows position directly which cuts setting time and setting errors
- ISO 50 7:24 spindle taper takes heavy-duty tooling for high-duty cutting
Where X715 Bed Type Vertical Milling Machine Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Knee type machines flex under heavy cuts and limit the depth of cut on large parts
- Worn leadscrews leave backlash that shows up as size error on every setting
- Reading position from dials wastes time and causes setting mistakes that scrap parts
- Parts longer than a metre run out of table travel on general purpose mills
- Heavy castings cannot be safely clamped on a light table
- Single fixed spindle speed forces a compromise between roughing and finishing
Who It Is For
- Machine shops milling large and heavy parts
- Mould and die shops machining plates and blocks
- Heavy fabrication workshops finishing weldments
- Contract machinists taking in oversized milling work
- Machinery distributors supplying bed type mills to industrial buyers
Application Scenarios
- Face and slot milling heavy castings up to the 2000 kg table load
- Machining long parts using the 1500 mm longitudinal travel
- High-duty roughing cuts where a knee type machine would deflect
- Machining mould and die plates that need flatness across a large area
- Milling mounting faces on fabricated frames and bases
- Small batch production of large machined components

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| X716 swivel head bed type universal milling machine | The X716 adds a 360 degree universal head and horizontal working on a larger 2500 x 575 mm table; the X715 is the straightforward vertical machine where angled work is not part of the job |
|---|---|
| X5032 knee type vertical milling machine | The knee type machine is more flexible on small parts and costs less; the X715 carries 2000 kg on a fixed bed and holds accuracy through high-duty cutting |
| Milling without a digital readout | Dial reading depends on counting turns and remembering backlash; the 3-axis readout shows actual position which improves machining accuracy and speeds setting |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Clamp the workpiece in the T slots keeping within the 2000 kg table load
Step 2
Fit the cutter in the ISO 50 spindle taper and check run-out before cutting
Step 3
Set the spindle speed step for roughing or finishing
Step 4
Zero the digital readout on the part datum for each axis
Step 5
Bring the head down the column to set the cutting height and lock the position
Step 6
Take a trial cut and check against the readout before running the full pass
Step 7
Clear chips from the bed and guideways regularly and follow the lubrication schedule

Questions About X715 Bed Type Vertical Milling Machine
What are the working travels of the X715?
Worktable longitudinal travel is 1500 mm, cross travel 670 mm and vertical travel 670 mm, on a table of 2100 x 500 mm with a maximum load of 2000 kg.
What spindle taper does it take?
ISO 50 7:24. Tell us the tool holders you already have and we will confirm compatibility before shipment.
Does it come with a digital readout?
Yes. The machine is equipped with a 3-axis digital readout system, which improves machining accuracy and makes setting more convenient.
Why choose a bed type machine over a knee type?
The milling head moves up and down the column while the table sits on a fixed bed, so the table can carry a heavy load and the machine holds precision under high-duty cutting.
Are the axes servo driven?
Yes. X Y and Z all use servo motors driving ball screws.
What voltage and frequency can you supply?
Tell us your supply voltage frequency and phase and the machine will be built for your market.
What are your payment and trade terms?
We quote FOB CFR and CIF. Payment is 30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
