High-tech nonwovens for efficient, reliable processes
Innovative portal milling solutions with vilmill® milling underlays
We offer high-tech materials that are used as underlays between the workpiece and the milling table during the milling process. These nonwovens are equipped with a special adhesive layer that is activated during the milling process. At the same time, the air permeability of our nonwovens increases the performance of the vacuum table. Thanks to these properties, the workpiece can be optimally fixed to and removed from the table during the milling process. This is how these innovative milling underlays increase efficiency and improve process reliability.
Key Features
- Reliable fixation of delicate parts
- Positive fit between the milled part and the substrate, allowing reliable force transmission
- Residue-free detachment possible
- Uniform distribution of vacuum over the contact surface of the milled part - particularly effective for filigree contours
Key Benefits
- Higher feed speeds
- Increased process reliability
- Elimination of rework
- Efficient utilization of expensive semi-finished products through tight nesting
- Savings on tool costs
Precision milling meets smart clamping
Portatec is a specialist in portal milling machines — advanced machine tools designed for the precise machining of large workpieces made of aluminum, plastic, and fiber-reinforced composites. These machines are widely used in high-tech industries such as aerospace and automotive, as well as in plastics and aluminum processing.
A key component of these milling machines is vilmill® from Freudenberg Performance Materials. This milling underlay guarantees reliable fixing of delicate aluminum or plastic parts during processing, thanks to its innovative adhesive coating. In addition to reliable fixation, vilmill® offers further benefits that enhance the milling process — including a high degree of process stability.
