305mm Heavy Duty Slotting Machine

Product Description

A 305mm heavy duty slotting machine is a specialized metalworking equipment designed to create slots or keyways in metal components. Its primary function is to cut rectangular grooves of various dimensions into metal workpieces.

Key Features and Specifications:

• Throat Depth: Typically around 305mm (12 inches), allowing for deep cuts.
• Stroke Length: The distance the cutter travels back and forth, usually adjustable to accommodate different slot depths.
• Table Size: A large worktable to support heavy and bulky components.
• Cutting Capacity: The maximum thickness of metal it can cut, often measured in millimeters.
• Motor Power: A powerful motor to drive the cutting process efficiently.
• Feed Rate: The speed at which the workpiece moves relative to the cutter.
• Coolant System: A mechanism to lubricate the cutting process and prevent overheating.

Typical Applications:

• Keyways: Creating slots for machine keys to secure shafts and pulleys.
• Splines: Cutting grooves for splined shafts, used in power transmission.
• Grooves: Making slots for various purposes, such as O-rings, seals, or decorative elements.
• General Machining: Performing various slotting operations in metal fabrication and repair.

Types of Slotting Machines:

• Vertical Slotting Machines: The most common type, with a vertical spindle and horizontal table.
• Horizontal Slotting Machines: Less common, with a horizontal spindle and vertical table.
• Portable Slotting Machines: Smaller, handheld versions for on-site applications.

Benefits of Heavy Duty Slotting Machines:

• Precision: Capable of producing accurate and consistent slots.
• Versatility: Can handle a wide range of materials and workpiece sizes.
• Efficiency: High production rates due to powerful motors and robust construction.
• Durability: Built to withstand heavy-duty use and harsh environments.
