90 Degree Milling Head

Machining internal cavities or the sides of large workpieces often requires a change in the cutting direction, which is exactly what our 90 degree milling head was designed to do. This accessory allows a standard vertical or horizontal milling machine to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. For over 11 years, we have engineered these heads to handle the heavy side-loads associated with right-angle milling. We understand that a "90 degree milling head" must be extremely rigid to prevent chatter; therefore, we use double-row angular contact bearings and carburized gears to ensure a smooth, high-torque power transfer. Our heads are a favorite among our clients in the large-scale injection mold sector, where they are used to machine deep rib structures in automotive bumper molds.

The reliability of our 90 degree milling head comes from our attention to detail during the assembly process. Every gear set is hand-lapped to ensure perfect tooth contact, resulting in a quiet operation even at speeds up to 3,000 RPM. We recently assisted a client in Canada who was struggling with long lead times for OEM parts. We provided a custom "90 degree milling head" with an extended reach for machining deep industrial fan duct housings. Our solution not only arrived 4 weeks faster than the OEM part but also provided a 10% increase in machining stiffness. Backed by our ISO 9001:2015 certification, our 90-degree heads provide a cost-effective way to expand the capabilities of your current machine tools without the need for expensive multi-axis equipment.
