Portable Milling Machine

The Gantry Type also known as the X-Y type milling machine is the most versatile, advanced and heavy duty portable milling machine by Pelican. It is very similar to a conventional Plano miller just that it is also portable and in this case the milling spindle travels instead of the job. This machine consists of 2 long travel beds and 2 cross travel beds, both equipped with preloaded linear bearings, as found in the latest and most advanced CNC machines. A twin motor rack and pinion mechanism for long and cross travel along with the help of the linear bearings ensures a smooth and high feed rate, hence increasing the material removal rate tremendously.

The design is rugged and heavy duty, yet portable. The whole machine is transported in parts and assembled on site. The machining capacity can be adjusted as the various beds for long travel and cross travel are interchangeable and made in various lengths. Beds are available in sets of 2 and the lengths are of 1, 2, 3 and 4 metres each. So you can have a gantry size of
2 metres x 4 metres or even 6 metres x 3 metres as required.

A high capacity milling spindle is powered by a heavy duty Hydraulic motor and power pack which enables it to be equipped with a 400 dia milling cutter if need be. Standard milling cutter is a 200 mm dia cutter. High feed rates and large depth of cut helps remove material stock as fast as conventional machines.
