Applications and Experiments for the Smart Mill 500
This VMC is used where students must move beyond trainer machines to an industrial milling center: setting work offsets, loading a 20-tool magazine, running face, pocket and contour programs and tapping holes under CNC control. It suits advanced CNC workshops in ITIs, polytechnics and engineering colleges.
- ITI Operator Advanced Machine Tools and machinist trades: VMC setting and operation, with parts held in a Tilting and Swiveling Vice.
- Diploma in mechanical or tool and die engineering: CNC milling programming, with cutters reground on a Universal Tool and Cutter Grinder.
- B.E./B.Tech CAM labs: running CAM-generated toolpaths on a real machine, compared with force readings from a Milling Tool dynamometer on a conventional mill.
- Short industry courses on tool changing, rigid tapping and coolant management.
Standard Scope of Supply
The machine comes with its standard accessories: levelling bolts and pads, rigid tapping, a work light, coolant tank and pump with chip tray, a screw-type chip conveyor, a pilot light, and the operating and programming manuals. Items marked optional in the table are not included unless they are named on your quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover one VMC or a full CNC section, and each one states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Options such as the rotary table or stabiliser, and related vocational training equipment, can be priced on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Tell us which options and tooling the machining center needs through the contact page, or save it in the enquiry cart while you shortlist other machines; formal bids belong on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many tools does the Smart Mill 500 hold?
The magazine holds 20 tools and uses a double-gripper automatic tool changer, so multi-tool programs for faces, pockets and tapped holes run through without the operator changing tools by hand.
Can the spindle speed be increased?
Yes. The standard spindle runs at 8,000 rpm, and a 10,000 rpm spindle is listed as an option, along with a 7/9 kW spindle motor and spindle-through coolant.
Who supplies this machining center?
Science Lab Supplies arranges supply of the Smart Mill 500 from Ambala, India. Tooling, fixtures and other CNC training machines can be priced alongside it on a single quotation.
Is it suitable for beginners?
It is an industrial-class VMC, so it fits advanced courses; a smaller CNC trainer can be quoted for first lessons. All machining should run with guards closed and an instructor present.
