Planers and Milling Machines
Planers and Milling Machines are heavy-duty industrial machining tools designed for planing, milling, and roughing large workpieces in metalworking shops, fabrication plants, and heavy machining facilities. The line ranges from compact models with a 1-meter table and continuously variable feed via frequency inverter, through intermediate configurations with 12 automatic gear-driven feed rates, up to 6-meter planer mills with high distributed load capacity. Milling heads with ISO 30, ISO 40, or ISO 50 spindle tapers, multiple speed ranges, and up to 45° lateral tilt provide versatility across different operations. Check the technical datasheet of each model for exact dimensions and capacities.
Specifications subject to change without notice. Some capacities listed may require optional accessories depending on the model. Refer to each unit's technical datasheet for exact dimensions and limitations.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Planer Milling Machine and what is it used for?
A Planer Milling Machine is a machine tool that combines the reciprocating longitudinal motion of a traditional planer with a rotating milling head. It is used for planing flat surfaces, roughing blocks, milling slots, and machining large, heavy workpieces — such as machine bases, welded structures, and fabrication components — with precision and repeatability in industrial production environments.
What is the difference between frequency inverter models and gear-driven models?
The compact models PF - 1.0 E and PF - 6.0 E use a frequency inverter for continuously variable table feed, allowing fine speed adjustment without changing gears. The intermediate models PF - 1.5 E, PF - 2.0 E, PF - 3.0 E, and PF - 4.0 E use hardened gear boxes with ground teeth, providing 12 fixed feed speeds per assembly — a robust and reliable solution for continuous heavy-duty machining. The right choice depends on the operation type and the need for feed rate variation.
What table capacity and size options are available in this line?
Each model has capacity tied to its own specifications: the PF - 1.0 E supports 882 lb (400 kg) on a 39.4 x 20.5 in (1,000 x 520 mm) table; the PF - 1.5 E handles 2,205 lb (1,000 kg) on a 63 x 21.7 in (1,600 x 550 mm) table; the PF - 2.0 E takes 3,307 lb (1,500 kg); the PF - 3.0 E up to 5,512 lb (2,500 kg); the PF - 4.0 E up to 8,818 lb (4,000 kg); and the PF - 6.0 E up to 12,125 lb (5,500 kg) on a 236 x 28.7 in (6,000 x 730 mm) table. Check each model's datasheet for exact capacities and dimensions.
What industries and part types are served by these planer milling machines?
The line serves metalworking shops, fabrication and boilermaking plants, capital goods manufacturers, heavy industrial maintenance, and structural steel fabricators. Smaller models are suited to medium-sized parts and tooling work; the 3, 4, and 6-meter models are designed for equipment bases, machined beams, large molds, and heavy machinery components. Configurable column clearance on larger models adds versatility for parts with varying cross-sections.
How do I request a quote or technical support for Planers and Milling Machines?
Contact the Chinelatto team with the model of interest (or the dimensions and weight of the part to be machined), the available plant voltage, and whether optional accessories are needed, such as centralized lubrication pumps or extended column clearance. The technical team will guide you to the right model and provide a commercial proposal. Spare parts and after-sales support are handled directly by the manufacturer.
