The difference between gantry machining centers and vertical machining centers

A vertical machining center refers to a machining center that is set perpendicular to the spindle axis and the worktable. The vertical x and Y axes are combined together, and the Z axis moves up and down on the column, making it suitable for small precision molds and parts processing. The larger vertical mount is about 4 meters long, and the model can be determined based on the specific physical object being processed< Br/>


A gantry machining center refers to a machining center that is set perpendicular to the spindle axis and the workbench. The Z-axis support structure of the gantry is different, and the Y-axis is horizontally placed between the two pillars, increasing the workload and machining range of the workbench< Br/>


2. Different uses:



The gantry machining center is mainly suitable for processing large parts. Vertical machining centers are mainly suitable for processing complex parts such as plates, discs, molds, and small shells< Br/>

Characteristics of Vertical Machining Centers


1. Environmentally friendly and pollution-free. Because there will be no oil or mist spraying out, the surrounding environment will not be polluted< Br/>


2. Accurate fuel supply. Oil can be transported to lubrication points such as the spindle and screw according to different needs by adding regulating valves< Br/>


3. There is no difficulty in atomizing high viscosity lubricating oil; Suitable for any oil product< Br/>


4. Automatic detection and monitoring. It can detect whether the lubricating oil is normal. If the lubrication is poor, it can alarm and shut down to avoid abnormal operation of the equipment< Br/>


5. Especially suitable for spindle rolling bearings, it has a certain air cooling effect, which can reduce the operating temperature of the bearings and extend the service life of the spindle< Br/>


6. Low fuel consumption and cost savings< Br/>
