There are several types of machining centers. The machining center is one of the most widely used CNC machine tools in machining. It is a digital control system integrated on a common milling machine, and an automatic tool changer that can be accurately controlled under program code. Machine tool for milling. There are many types of machining centers. We usually refer to the machining center structure. The machining centers are divided into vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, and gantry machining centers.

Vertical machining center introduction

Vertical Machining Center

It refers to the machining center where the spindle axis is perpendicular to the table. The vertical machining center of the main vertical machining center is suitable for processing complex parts such as plates, discs, molds and small shells. Vertical machining centers perform milling, boring, drilling, tapping and thread cutting. The vertical machining center is at least three-axis and two-linkage, and generally can realize three-axis three-linkage. Some can be controlled by five axes and six axes. The height of the vertical machining center column is limited, and the processing range of the box type workpiece is reduced. This is the disadvantage of the vertical machining center.

Horizontal machining center introduction

The horizontal machining center refers to the machining center where the spindle axis is parallel to the worktable, and is mainly suitable for processing box-type parts. His working principle is that after the workpiece is clamped once in the machining center, the computer can automatically select different tools, automatically change the spindle speed of the machine tool, and complete the multi-process machining on multiple faces of the workpiece in turn. His advantage is that it can greatly improve production efficiency, but it has a large footprint and high cost.

Longmen Machining Center Introduction

Gantry Machining Center

The gantry machining center refers to a table in which the spindle center and the machining center of the machining center are substantially rectangular. The large castings such as the gantry machining center workbench, bed, column, beam and ram are made of Meehanite cast iron or welded parts. The inner cavity of the casting is a honeycomb-type composite arrangement structure. The design is advanced, and both are time-dependent and secondary tempered. Residual internal stress stabilizes the material, ensuring stable machining accuracy and machine life.
