Because the machining center is generally developed on the basis of milling machine, it can be called gantry milling machine machining center, conventionally referred to as gantry type machining center. In this paper, we will introduce the large CNC vertical machining center.

What Is CNC Vertical Machining Center?

Vertical machining center refers to the spindle axis and the table vertical set of machining center, mainly suitable for processing plate, plate, mold and small shell complex parts. Vertical machining center can complete milling, boring, drilling, tapping and cutting thread and other processes. Vertical machining center is at least three axis two linkage, generally can achieve three axis three linkage.

Vertical machining center column height is limited, the box type of workpiece processing range to reduce, this is the disadvantage of vertical machining center.

But the vertical machining center workpiece clamping, positioning is convenient. The tool track is easy to observe, the debugging program is convenient to check and measure, and the problem can be found in time, and the machine can be stopped or modified. Cooling conditions are easy to establish, and the cutting fluid can reach the tool and machining surface directly. The three coordinate axes are consistent with the Cartesian coordinate system, which is intuitive and consistent with the visual Angle of the pattern. Chips are easy to remove and fall, and avoid scratching the processed surface. Compared with the corresponding horizontal machining center, the structure is simple, the footprint is small, the price is lower.

Characteristics Of CNC Vertical Machining Center

Automatic tool change function

Vertical machining center and CNC milling machine structure is basically the same, processing technology is basically similar, but the biggest difference is that the machining center is automatic tool change device and tool library, and CNC milling machine does not have this function. Vertical machining center with automatic tool change device and tool library has automatic tool change function, can be replaced according to the tool used in processing. Generally speaking, vertical machining center can be free to change the tool for different processes of the workpiece processing.

One workpiece clamping can process multiple processes

From the last function point of view vertical machining center has automatic tool change function, with this function, it can be a clamping process can carry out multi-process processing, such as boring, drilling, milling, tapping and tapping thread and other multi-process processing.

Extensible axis number function

Because the conventional three axis machining center can not meet the requirements of customer product processing, such as: processing impeller, blade, shaft, propeller and other complex curved workpiece is three axis vertical machining center can not process, so according to the requirements of customer products to expand the four axis or five axis function. It is known from the above that the vertical machining center has the function of expanding the number of axes, and can expand the function of four axes, five axes and multiple axes.

Multiple machining surfaces can be processed at one time

It is learned from above that the vertical machining center can expand the number of axes, so after the vertical machining center extends the number of axes, the workpiece can be clamped and processed multiple machining surfaces. The precision error of multiple clamping is avoided, and the time of manual clamping is saved.
