Engine Block and Cylinder Head Milling Machine PF-3V Chinelatto - 118" Table

The cylinder head and block milling machine is used to machine and correct engine sealing surfaces. It removes warpage, scratches and irregularities from the head and block, ensuring perfect gasket sealing. The PF-3V Chinelatto model processes parts up to 118 inches (3000mm) with robust 29-inch (730mm) table, supporting up to 5,511 lb (2500kg). Essential for machine shops working with truck, tractor and industrial machine engines.

The PF-3V milling machine has standard table of 118 x 29 inches (3000 x 730mm), with 118 x 39 inches (3000 x 1000mm) option for larger parts. Supports up to 5,511 lb (2500kg) on table and maximum longitudinal travel of 118 inches (3000mm). The ISO 50 spindle operates from 100 to 1200 RPM with 5hp motor. Between columns offers normal width of 39 inches (1000mm) and height of 39 inches (1000mm), with larger options available for different machining needs.

With 118-inch (3000mm) table and 5,511 lb (2500kg) capacity, the milling machine handles from car engines to large industrial, truck and tractor engines. The ISO 50 spindle allows various cutting tools. The 39-inch (1000mm) width between columns (up to 63 inches/1600mm optional) accommodates V6, V8 blocks and large inline engines. Speeds from 100-1200 RPM and variable feeds handle different materials and required finishes.

Manual milling requires operator controlling all movements, being slower but allowing precise adjustments during process. Automatic milling like PF-3V has programmed feeds from 2.4-59 IPM (60-1500 mm/min) and automatic cycles, increasing productivity and standardizing finish. For high-volume machine shops, automatic pays for investment. For varied services and small volumes, manual offers more operational flexibility.

First secure the head on table with supports and fixtures. Adjust tool height and position in ISO 50 spindle. Set RPM (100-1200) according to material and tool. Table advances automatically in successive passes, removing material uniformly. Coolant system lubricates the cut. Finally, use dial indicator to verify flatness, ensuring perfect gasket sealing.

With proper use and preventive maintenance, the PF-3V milling machine operates for decades in machine shops. Basic maintenance includes guide lubrication (standard wood rollers or optional centralized system), daily chip cleaning and oil level verification. Semi-annual spindle inspection and periodic clearance adjustments ensure precision. Wear parts like tools and rollers have available replacement, maintaining constant productivity.
