The biggest difference of CNC milling machine is that the machining center has the ability to exchange machining tools automatically. By installing different tools on the tool magazine, the machining tools on the spindle can be changed through the automatic tool changing device in one clamping, so as to realize a variety of processing functions.
CNC machining center is composed of mechanical equipment and CNC system, which is suitable for processing complex parts. CNC machining center is one of the most widely used CNC machine tools with the highest output in the world. Its comprehensive processing ability is strong, the workpiece can complete more processing content after clamping at one time, and the processing accuracy is high. For the batch workpiece with medium processing difficulty, its efficiency is 5-10 times higher than that of ordinary equipment, especially it can complete the processing that many ordinary equipment can’t complete, and it is more suitable for single piece processing with complex shape and high precision requirements or small and medium batch multi variety production. It concentrates the functions of milling, boring, drilling, tapping and cutting threads on one equipment, so that it has a variety of technological means.
Machining centers are classified into horizontal and vertical machining centers according to the spatial position of the spindle. According to the classification of process uses: boring and milling machining center, composite machining center. According to the special functions, there are single table, double table and multi table machining centers. Machining center of single axle, double axle, three axle and changeable headstock.
