Machining center is usually divided into vertical machining center and horizontal machining center according to the state of spindle in space.
The vertical machining center whose spindle is vertical in space is called vertical machining center, and the horizontal machining center whose spindle is horizontal in space is called horizontal machining center. Spindle can be vertical and horizontal conversion, known as vertical and horizontal machining center or five machining center, also known as composite machining center. According to the number of machining center columns, there are single column type and double column type (gantry type).
According to the coordinate number of machining center movement and the coordinate number of simultaneous control, there are three axis two linkage, three axis three linkage, four axis three linkage and five axis four linkage.
Six axis five linkage, etc. Three axis and four axis refers to the number of motion coordinates of the machining center. Linkage refers to the number of coordinates that the control system can control at the same time, so as to realize the position and speed control of the tool relative to the workpiece. Machining center can be divided into vertical, horizontal and composite machining center from the appearance. The spindle of the vertical machining center is perpendicular to the worktable, which is mainly used for processing plate and shell workpieces, and can also be used for mold processing.
The spindle axis of the horizontal machining center is parallel to the worktable, and its worktable is mostly a CNC rotary table controlled by servo motor. In the one-time clamping of workpieces, multiple machining surfaces can be processed through the rotation of the worktable, which is suitable for the processing of box workpieces. The compound machining center mainly refers to that there are two vertical and horizontal spindles on one machining center, or the spindle can change the angle by 90 degrees, so it can realize the machining of five surfaces in one clamping of workpiece.
