Kesel Automatic Rack Milling Machine

Overview: The Kesel Automatic Rack Milling Machine is designed to mill individual racks automatically with unmanned operation. In addition to the in-feed and out-feed units the machine has built-in reserve storage enabling unmanned operation to be carried out for an entire shift.

Tooth profiles with the following sizes and material cross-sections are possible with lengths of between 500 mm and 2000 mm:

Module 1 (15 mm x 15 mm)
Module 1,5 (20 mm x 20 mm)
Module 2 (25 mm x 25 mm)
Module 3 (30 mm x 30 mm)
Module 4 (40 mm x 40 mm)
Module 5 (50 mm x 50 mm)

Key Advantages:
– Automatic, unmanned operation
– Loading and changing of the cutter can be timed to coincide with shift changes
– Elimination of loading and unloading times
– Machine true running time is approximately equal to the machine operating time
– Manning of a third shift can be achieved without any addition to current manpower
