Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Kesel RM rack milling machine represents a significant advancement in rack milling technology, building on the success of previous models like the Kesel RMS and RMX. It offers enhanced productivity and rigidity, making it suitable for producing racks with straight or helical tooth profiles up to module 20 or 32, depending on the milling head used.

Specifications
The RM machine features a robust design with a travel range of up to 4,100 mm on the X-axis, 300 mm on the Y-axis, and 400 mm on the Z-axis. The B-axis allows for a swivel adjustment of +/- 30° for helical tooth profiles. It is equipped with a Siemens SINUMERIK 840Dsl control system and offers a clamping range of up to 4,100 mm x 325 mm.

Milling Capabilities
The machine supports both climb and conventional milling processes and can handle HSS or carbide cutting tools. It is capable of hard milling hardened materials efficiently due to its high rigidity. The milling heads, F 55.4 and F 350, provide high power and torque, with RPMs up to 315 and 450 respectively.

Clamping and Tooling
The RM offers versatile clamping options, including magnetic and hydraulic systems, and can accommodate special workpieces with oblique or prismatic jaws. The milling heads support a range of cutter diameters and tool widths, with the F 55.4 head handling up to 250 mm and the F 350 head up to 310 mm in diameter.

Additional Features
The machine includes a coolant and swarf removal system with an 800-litre capacity and a magnetic filter roller for fine filtration. It requires a 3 x 400 V electrical connection with an 80 A amperage. Optional features include a controlled B-axis, full enclosure, and pendulum milling capabilities.

Conclusion
The Kesel RM rack milling machine is a comprehensive solution for high-quality rack production, offering superior performance, flexibility, and precision. It is designed to meet diverse customer requirements with its extensive optional features and accessories.

RM The Kesel RM machine takes rack milling to a new dimension. Based on the design of the very successful Kesel RMS and RMX rack milling machines, the RM sets new standards in its class. The cutting area for straight tooth profiles as well as helical tooth profiles has been increased for more productivity. Its FEA analysed structure is engineered and built for much higher rigidity values compared to any other machine of its size. The RM scores remarkably higher performance results and can be used for rack production of up to module 20 or 32 depending on the milling head. Higher milling capacity...

Clamping systems The swivelling table (B-axis) allows an adjustment of the milling head for helical tooth profiles of +/- 30°. Magnetic clamping plate, alternatively hydraulic workpiece clamping device. Special workpieces can also be clamped employing oblique jaws or prismatic jaws. The RM machine allows for tooth profile milling of different types of workpieces up to module 20 with the F 55.4 milling head and up to module 32 with the F 350 milling head. Helical or linear tooth profiles, racks, profile milling on shafts, or special custom workpieces – we can make every application possible.
