Key Features and Specifications

1. Vertical Knee Milling Design

The vertical knee mill design of the HMT-BF16 features a vertically oriented spindle mounted directly above the worktable. This vertical alignment is optimal for applications where gravity assists the cutting action and allows the operator better visual access to the workpiece.

2. Precision Engineering

This machine is classified as a precision milling machine, meaning it is capable of achieving extremely tight tolerances and fine finishes. It's built for tasks requiring high dimensional accuracy and excellent repeatability — a crucial requirement in aerospace and tool-and-die manufacturing.

3. Worktable Size

The table size on the HMT-BF16 (similar to the 9522C model) provides ample workspace for handling a wide range of components. The sturdy worktable allows users to clamp medium-sized parts or tooling fixtures securely. Larger table sizes support longer travel and make it possible to handle more complex setups or multiple part machining.

4. Adjustable Spindle Speeds

The HMT-BF16 is equipped with adjustable spindle speeds, giving the operator full control to match the cutting speed with the material and the type of tool being used. Variable speeds enable optimized performance when working with metals like aluminum, steel, and other alloys.

5. Manual and Optional Digital Controls

Depending on the configuration, the HMT-BF16 may feature either manual handwheel controls for traditional machinists or optional digital controls for enhanced accuracy and automation. The availability of digital readouts (DROs) further aids in precision operations and repeatable measurements.

6. Tooling and Spindle Compatibility

This machine supports a wide variety of tooling such as:

• End mills
• Face mills
• Slot drills
• Boring heads
• Chamfer cutters

The spindle is built to handle various shank sizes and tool holders, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard tooling systems. The rigid spindle construction ensures minimal vibration and consistent tool contact, resulting in better surface finishes.

7. Expandable with Attachments

The VIGERT HMT-BF16 is designed to accept a range of milling attachments, including:

• Rotary tables for angular or circular milling
• Dividing heads for gear cutting and complex part indexing
• Vices, clamps, and collets for secure part holding

These accessories allow for flexible machining of irregular shapes and intricate profiles.

8. Applications

Thanks to its design and accuracy, the VIGERT HMT-BF16 is widely used in:

• Aerospace components machining – for parts requiring high tolerances
• Automotive prototyping – for engine parts, molds, and dies
• Electronics housing and mold creation
• Toolroom work – for creating precision jigs and fixtures
• Educational and R&D labs – for training and testing purposes
