There are many kinds of machining centers, including gantry machining centers, vertical machining centers , and horizontal machining centers. The common ones are our vertical machining centers , while horizontal machining centers are relatively rare. Today we will discuss the vertical machining centers and the difference between horizontal machining centers.
1. The difference between a vertical machining center and a horizontal machining center is the difference in structure.
The main difference between the vertical machining center and the horizontal machining center is the difference in the Z-axis structure. The Z-axis of the vertical machining center moves vertically downward to complete the processing, while the Z-axis of the horizontal machining center moves horizontally downward to complete the processing. This is the main difference between a vertical machining center and a horizontal machining center.
2. The difference between the vertical machining center and the horizontal machining center is that the worktable is different.
The table of the vertical machining center is usually a T-slot table with a cross slide structure. There are two sets of motion mechanisms responsible for the movement in the vertical direction. The X-direction feed table covers the guide rail responsible for the Y-direction feed. The vertical machining center is easy to install, easy to operate, easy to observe the processing situation, easy to debug the program, and widely used. The worktable of the horizontal machining center is only designed to move in the X or Y direction. The worktable is generally a rotary worktable with a lattice screw hole table, and it is relatively easy to choose an exchangeable double worktable. The horizontal machining center is easy to remove chips during machining, which is beneficial to machining.
So should you choose a vertical machining center or a horizontal machining center?
The two processing object-oriented different. The vertical machining center is limited by the height of the column and the tool changing device, and cannot process parts that are too high. When machining a cavity or a concave surface, the chips are not easy to discharge. In severe cases, the tool will be damaged, the machined surface will be damaged, and the machining will be affected. The volume of the workpiece to be processed is relatively small. If the side processing of the workpiece is to be realized, an angle head or a CNC turntable must be installed. The horizontal machining center can complete the processing of the remaining four surfaces except the installation surface and the top surface after one clamping, which is most suitable for processing box parts, and can realize pentahedron processing after adding an angle head.
Generally speaking, the structure of horizontal machining center is more complex than that of vertical machining center, and the price is much higher.
