Vertical machining center classification and difference

classification

Classification by guide rail

According to the form of vertical machining center axis guide rail can be divided into hard rail and line rail. Hard rail is suitable for heavy cutting, and line rail movement is more sensitive.

Classification by speed

Vertical machining center spindle speed 6000-15000rpm for low speed type, 18000rpm for high speed type.

Classification by structure

According to the structure of vertical machining center bed can be divided into C type and gantry type.

The difference between

vertical

Vertical machining center is to point to the state of the main shaft for vertical machining center, its structure form for fixed columns, workbench is rectangle, without dividing rotating function, suitable for processing plate, set, plate parts, it generally has three linear motion axes, and it can be installed on the workbench a along the horizontal axis rotation of the rotary table, spiral parts for processing.

Vertical machining center is easy to install card, easy to operate, easy to observe the processing situation, easy to debug the program, widely used. But by the column height and tool change device restrictions, can not process too high parts, in the processing of cavity or concave surface, chip is not easy to discharge, serious damage to the tool, damage has been processed surface, affect the smooth processing.

horizontal

Horizontal machining center spindle machining center with horizontal state, usually with an automatic indexing rotary table, it generally has three to five coordinate motion, common are three linear motion coordinates and coordinates a rotary movement, the workpiece in a card, after complete except for the installation and the top surface of the remaining four surface processing, it is suitable for combined with body parts. Compared with vertical machining center, horizontal machining center is easy to discharge chips when processing, but the structure is complex. The price is higher.
