Classification of Vertical Machining Center

Machining centers are often divided into vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers based on the state of the spindle in space. The spindle of a machining center in a vertical state in space is called a vertical machining center, and the spindle in a horizontal state in space is called a horizontal machining center. The spindle that can be converted vertically and horizontally is called a vertical horizontal machining center or a five sided machining center, also known as a composite machining center. Divided by the number of columns in the machining center; There are single column and double column (gantry style).

According to the number of machining center motion coordinates and the number of simultaneously controlled coordinates, there are three axis two linkage, three axis three linkage, four axis three linkage, five axis four linkage, six axis five linkage, etc. Three axis and four axis refer to the number of motion coordinates possessed by the machining center, while linkage refers to the control system being able to simultaneously control the number of motion coordinates, thereby achieving control of the position and speed of the tool relative to the workpiece.

According to machining accuracy, there are ordinary machining centers and high-precision machining centers. Ordinary machining center with a resolution of 1 μ m. Maximum feed speed 15~25m/min, positioning accuracy l0 μ About m. High precision machining center with a resolution of 0.1 μ m. The maximum feed speed is 15-100m/min, and the positioning accuracy is 2 μ About m. Between 2 and 10 μ Between m, expressed in ± 5 μ There are many meters, which can be called precision level.
