The Heart Of Cold Milling Machines
A cold milling machine's most important tool is
the milling drum.
Rotating point-attack cutting bits are inserted in
toolholders that are fastened onto the drum
body.
The texture of the milled surface is determined
by the bit spacing, which is the distance
between one cutting bit to the next.
The Milling Drum:

Surface Comparison
With the Multiplex levelling system, sensor signals are calculated to arrive at an
average differential value. This enables unevenness to be smoothed out considerably.
