Universal Swivel Milling Angle Head (DK90-BT50 YW & WXER Series)

Key Technical Features and Material Standards

• Adjustable Swivel Angle Mechanism: Designed with a calibrated angular housing that can be rotated and locked to execute compound angled features, reducing setup operations on 3-axis and 4-axis machine tools.
• Heavy-Wall QT500-7 Ductile Iron Casing: Cast from high-grade QT500-7 Ductile Iron and subjected to artificial aging and stress-relief heat treatment. The monoblock casting absorbs heavy cutting vibration and maintains high rigidity under high-torque side milling.
• Gleason Precision Ground Bevel Gears: Internal drive utilizes Gleason ground spiral bevel gears in 20CrMnTi Alloy Steel. Carburized and quenched to HRC 58-62 and ground to ISO Grade 4 precision, ensuring transmission backlash ≤ 15 arcmin and noise ≤ 70 dB under full load.
• Preloaded High-Capacity Bearings: Spindle assembly is supported by preloaded, high-precision P4 class angular contact ball bearings (NSK/FAG), maintaining spindle nose runout ≤ 0.005 mm under heavy radial and axial cutting loads.

Quality Assurance and Testing Standards

Before dispatch, every DK90-BT50 YW & WXER series universal angle head undergoes a 100% Quality Inspection Protocol:

• Angular Concentricity & Runout Test: Runout is measured with a high-precision dial indicator across multiple angular settings, held to ≤ 0.005 mm at the spindle nose and ≤ 0.015 mm at 4D distance.
• 60-Minute Continuous Run-In: Tested continuously at full rated operating speed for 60 minutes. Housing temperature rise must remain ≤ 25°C above ambient temperature.
• Anti-Backlash Alignment: Verified with angular encoders to confirm gear transmission backlash remains ≤ 15 arcminutes under rated load.

Target Industries and Industrial Applications

• Large Die and Mold Manufacturing: Machining sloped core surfaces, angled slider channels, and compound ejector pin holes in large forged steel mold bases (S45C, H13, NAK80).
• Heavy Machinery & Energy Equipment: Angled drilling, slotting, and thread milling on large cast iron turbine housings, pump enclosures, and gearbox frames.
• Aerospace & Defense Forgings: Precision multi-axis milling on complex aluminum and titanium structural components requiring compound-angled tool access.

CNC Machine Compatibility

Optimized for large Vertical Machining Centers (VMC), Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC), and Gantry Milling Machines. Compatible spindle interfaces include:

• Spindle Standards: BT50 / BBT50 (Double Contact) / SK50 / CAT50 / HSK100A.
• Typical Machine Brands: Compatible with Mazak, Haas, Okuma, Doosan / DN Solutions, Makino, and JTEKT / Toyoda machine tools.

B2B Industrial Packing and Shipping Standards

• Anti-Rust Protection: Coated with heavy-duty anti-rust oil and vacuum-sealed in a high-barrier VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) bag accompanied by industrial desiccant packs.
• Shock Absorption: Cradled inside custom-contoured, high-density polyurethane protective foam inserts to isolate the heavy swiveling head and BT50 taper from transport shock.
• Export Outer Casing: Due to the heavy unit weight (up to 19.000 kg), each unit is packed in an ISPM 15-compliant, Fumigation-Free Plywood Wooden Case with reinforced metal edge locks.
• HS Code: 8466.10.10.00 or 8466.30.00.90.
• Lead Time: Standard models are shipped within 5-7 working days. Custom positioning blocks are shipped within 15-20 working days.
• Shipment Ports: Shanghai / Ningbo / Tianjin Port, China.
• Incoterms Supported: FOB, CIF, EXW, FCA, DDU, DDP.
• Express Delivery: Shipped via international air freight or ocean LCL/FCL containers depending on weight requirements.

1. Stop Block Mounting: Securely bolt the heavy-duty stop block to the front face of the VMC or HMC machine spindle.
2. Verify Center Distance (G-Dimension): Confirm that the center-to-center distance between the machine spindle and positioning pin socket matches your ordered G-Distance (commonly 80mm, 110mm, or 135mm on BT50 machines).
3. Indicate Side Runout: Chuck a ground test arbor into the ER collet. Sweeping a dial indicator horizontally along the arbor, adjust the stop block’s locking bolts until parallelism is aligned within 0.015 mm per 100mm.
4. Confirm ATC Clearances: Run a manual tool changer (ATC) test cycle at low speed to verify the automatic arm smoothly grabs, seats, and releases the BT50 taper without physical interference.
