Plano Milling Conversion

---

Shenoy Engineering Pvt Ltd specialises in Plano Milling Conversion whereby huge, old planers being discarded are revived, with little investment, into incredible, highly productive Plano Millers. Having provided a new lease of life to more than 3000 old planers, the company also buys old planing machines in whatever condition they are available for complete refurbishing and replacement of worn out rotating parts. After assembly, geometrical alignment and testing to the test-chart parameters, these machines are converted into plano millers by retrofitting milling heads and feed system package. As plano millers, these condemned planers excel in their performance. The dead-slow single point cutting is replaced by high speed, multi-point cutting by carbide cutters. The company offers such converted plano millers for sale in ready-for-use condition. 5 HP, 10 HP and 20 HP all geared plano milling heads are offered with 2 variants are,

• Regular milling head with conventional, cylindrical quill for setting depth of cut
• Ram type milling head with self-powered vertical stroke of 350 mm or more, suitable for drilling and boring, apart from milling

Ram head adds plano milling, drilling, boring, facing capabilities to a planing machine. In combination with DRO for axes movement, ram type milling head can help the converted plano miller to perform coordinate machining capabilities like pitch drilling, boring, etc., accurately. Detachable right angle milling attachment permits ram to machine the side walls inside the deep, inaccessible interiors of a work piece. Optional accessories for milling heads are mechanically tilting back plate for setting the spindle axis ±45° for taper machining and right angle attachment for machining the 4 sides of a rectangular plate. A common VFD based 3-axis feed system package is offered for table movement, cross axis movement and vertical axis movement with individual axis feed motors and gearbox. Controls also include digital display, showing axes movement in mm per minute.
