Vertical machining center

A vertical machining center refers to a machining center where the spindle axis is set straight with the worktable. The vertical machining center is primarily suitable for machining messy parts such as plates, disks, molds, and small shells. Vertical machining centers can complete processes such as milling, boring, drilling, threading, and cutting threads. Vertical machining centers are at least three axis two linkage, and generally can achieve three axis three linkage. Some can be controlled with five or six axes. The height of the vertical machining center column is limited, and the machining range for box type workpieces needs to be reduced, which is a disadvantage of vertical machining centers. But the workpiece clamping and positioning of the vertical machining center are convenient; The movement trajectory of the cutting tool is easy to query, and debugging the program for inspection and measurement is convenient. Problems can be detected in a timely manner, and shutdown or correction can be carried out; Cooling conditions are easy to establish, and cutting fluid can directly reach the tool and machining surface; The three coordinate axes are aligned with the Cartesian coordinate system, providing a visual and graphic perspective. The chips are easy to clean and fall, avoiding scratching the processed surface. Compared with the corresponding horizontal machining center, the structure is simple, the footprint is small, and the price is lower.

According to the characteristics of vertical machining center products, they can be divided into hard rail vertical machining centers and wire rail vertical machining centers. Its distinctive features are

Define the differences based on the form of the guide rails for each axis of the vertical machining center. There are significant functional differences between the two in workpiece processing. Hard rail vertical machining centers are suitable for heavy-duty cutting, while wire rail vertical machining centers have fast displacement speeds and more dynamic machining motion responses.
