MSFM-100 Single Head Slot Milling Machine for Aluminium Formwork | CGMA, Jinan, China

The MSFM-100 is a single head milling machine for automatically milling the slots in aluminium formwork panels. It handles L, U, and G profiles from 100mm to 600mm in height.

The machine uses an automatic locating fixture. Once the workpiece is placed in the fixture, the operator presses the start button or a foot pedal, and the machine automatically clamps the workpiece and feeds it through for milling. Slot depth is adjustable from 0 to 2mm, and the milling width is selectable at 36mm, 40mm, or 42mm. Fixtures for non-standard profiles can be made to order.

As a single-head machine, it mills one slot at a time, which suits smaller production volumes or workshops that don't need a multi-head line. CGMA also offers a multi-head CNC slot milling machine (MAFM-830) for higher volumes.

Why Choose a Dedicated Slot Milling Machine?

Formwork panels need accurately positioned, consistent slots, and milling them by hand or on a general-purpose machine is slow and variable.

• Automatic clamping and feeding. Place the workpiece, press start or the foot pedal, and the machine does the rest.
• Adjustable depth. Slot depth is set from 0 to 2mm to suit the panel design.
• Three milling widths. Choose 36, 40, or 42mm.
• Wide profile range. L, U, and G profiles from 100 to 600mm in height on one machine.
• Custom fixtures. Non-standard profiles can be handled with a made-to-order fixture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this machine do?
It automatically mills the slots in aluminium formwork panels, using an automatic locating fixture that clamps and feeds the workpiece.

What profiles can it handle?
L, U, and G profiles from 100mm to 600mm in height. Fixtures for non-standard profiles can be custom made.

What slot sizes can it mill?
Milling widths of 36, 40, or 42mm, with slot depth adjustable from 0 to 2mm.

How accurate is it?
Milling accuracy is ±0.15mm per 300mm.

How do I operate it?
Place the workpiece in the fixture and press the start button or the foot pedal. The machine clamps the workpiece and feeds it automatically.

How does it differ from the multi-head machine?
