Do you know the characteristics of vertical machining center and horizontal general machining center? Today CNC machining will introduce the differences and similarities of various machining centers.
1) Horizontal machining center
Horizontal machining center spindle machining center and horizontal state, usually with an automatic index turntable, it generally has three to five coordinate movement, common is three linear movement coordinates and coordinate rotation movement, workpiece card, in addition to the installation is completed, the remaining four surface treatment of the top, it is the most suitable to add body parts. In contrast, vertical machining center and horizontal machining center are easy to remove and handle chips, but the structure is complex.
2) General machining center
The general spindle machining center is a machining center which can control the change of the connecting rotation axis by processing the angle of the worktable to complete the machining of complex space surface.
It is suitable for the processing of impeller, rotor, mold and cutter with complex space surface, and other forms of centralized processing, which is extended to other types of CNC machine tools, such as turning center. It is equipped with multiple automatic tool changing devices in CNC lathe, which can control three or more coordinates. In addition to rotation, the spindle can stop or index, and the cutter can rotate milling, drilling, reaming and tapping process, Suitable for dealing with complex rotating parts.
3) Vertical machining center
Vertical machining center refers to the state of the spindle is vertical machining center, its structure is fixed column, the worktable is rectangular, no indexing rotation function, suitable for processing plate, plate part, it usually has three linear motion axis, can also be installed in the worktable along the horizontal axis rotation of the rotary table, screw part for processing.
Vertical machining center card is convenient, easy to operate, easy to observe processing conditions, debugger is easy, widely used.
However, due to the limit of column height and the change of tools, parts, cavities or concave sides can not be processed, and the chips are not easy to be discharged. In serious cases, the tools are damaged and the processing surface is damaged, which affects the smooth processing.
