[0028] In another embodiment, a placement table 8 is provided above the platform 5. The placement table 8 has a groove 801, which is a straight groove 801. The outermost side of the groove 801 is connected to the side of the placement table 8. Therefore, in actual use, when the workpiece only needs to be milled on one side, the matching clamping fixture can be directly slid into the straight groove 801 of the placement table 8 through the side slot, so that it can be clamped by the placement table 8 and fixed vertically and cannot be moved. This allows milling to be performed after the workpiece is fixed. The bottom of the placement table 8 is provided with a second track 802, and the placement table 8 can move left and right along the second track 802. The second track 802 further avoids the need for personnel to move the clamping fixture, resulting in higher work efficiency.

[0030] In another embodiment, the platform 5 includes a slide 502 and a support platform 503 located at the bottom of the slide 502. The bottom of the slide 502 is provided with a sliding groove, and the support platform 503 is provided with a protrusion that matches the slide 502. The slide 502 slides back and forth in cooperation with the support platform 503. The frame 501 is connected to the slide 502. If the moving position of the milling cutter assembly 2 is insufficient, the slide 502 can be used to move back and forth, thereby extending the distance.

[0031] In another embodiment, track 3 is ball screw 1, which is connected to drive motor 1. Drive motor 1 drives ball screw 1 to move milling cutter assembly 2 back and forth. Track 2 802 is ball screw 2, which is connected to drive motor 2. Drive motor 2 drives ball screw 2 to move placement platform 8 left and right. Slide 502 is connected to ball screw 3, which is connected to drive motor 3. Drive motor 3 drives slide 502 to move back and forth, which effectively avoids manual movement and makes it more mechanized.

[0032] In another embodiment, the milling cutter assembly 2 includes a milling cutter 201, a servo motor connected to the milling cutter 201, and a milling cutter support 202. The milling cutter 201 is connected to the milling cutter support 202 via an electric telescopic rod 203. The milling cutter support 202 is hinged to the track 3.

[0035] Operating Method: Operation 1: When multi-angle milling is required, a hydraulic indexing chuck is used to clamp the high-temperature alloy steel. Then, the PLC controller is set through the control panel 103. The PLC controller controls the hydraulic indexing chuck to clamp the workpiece. After clamping, according to the length of the workpiece, the electric telescopic rod 504 is moved to the position above the placement table 8 corresponding to the horizontal coordinate of the milling cutter 201. The PLC controller operates the drive motor 1, which drives the ball screw to move the milling cutter assembly 2 in the vertical coordinate. If the vertical coordinate of the workpiece is not completed, the PLC controller controls the drive motor 3 to operate the slide table 502 to continue moving the vertical coordinate, so that the position is correct. Then, the PLC controller controls the hydraulic indexing chuck to rotate according to the required index during the milling process, so as to achieve the required surface for milling. The PLC controller controls the milling cutter 201 to mill the workpiece. After milling, the PLC controller controls the milling cutter assembly 2 to return to its original position. The PLC controller is operated through the control panel 103 to operate the hydraulic indexing chuck to remove the workpiece.

[0036] Operation 2: If only surface milling is required, the matching clamping fixture can be slid directly into the linear groove 801 of the placement table 8 through the side bayonet, thus being held in place by the placement table 8. After the clamping fixture holds the workpiece, the PLC controller is set through the control panel 103. The PLC controller controls the drive motor 2 to drive the ball screw 2, thereby driving the placement table 8 to move laterally. Then, the PLC controller operates the drive motor 1, which drives the ball screw to move the milling cutter assembly 2 in the vertical coordinate. If the vertical coordinate of the workpiece is not fully completed, the PLC controller controls the drive motor 3 to operate the slide table 502 to continue the vertical coordinate movement. The PLC controller operates the milling cutter 201 to perform milling. After milling, the PLC controller controls the workpiece to return to its original position, and then the workpiece is removed from the clamping fixture. If this type of workpiece is not to be processed, the clamping fixture can be removed through the groove 801.
