What are the main uses of vertical machining centers? Let's take a brief look at:
Machining Center (abbreviated as CNC Fully Computerized Numerical Control): It is a highly automated multi-function CNC machine with tool magazine and automatic tool changer.
After the workpiece is clamped once on the machining center, the digital control system can control the machine tool to automatically select and replace the tool according to different processes, automatically change the spindle speed of the machine tool, the feed amount and the movement track of the tool relative to the workpiece and other auxiliary functions, which are completed in sequence. Multi-process machining on several sides of the workpiece. And there are a variety of tool change or knife selection functions, which greatly improve production efficiency.
The vertical machining center refers to the machining center where the spindle axis is perpendicular to the table. The vertical machining center machine is suitable for processing complex parts such as plates, discs, molds and small shells. Vertical machining centers perform milling, boring, drilling, tapping and cutting threads. The vertical machining center is at least three-axis and two-linkage, and generally can realize three-axis three-linkage. Some can be controlled by five axes and six axes. The height of the vertical machining center column is limited, and the processing range of the box type workpiece is reduced, which is a disadvantage of the vertical machining center. However, the vertical machining center has convenient workpiece clamping and positioning; the cutting tool movement track is easy to observe, the debugging program is easy to check and measure, the problem can be found in time, and the shutdown processing or modification can be performed; the cooling condition is easy to establish, and the cutting fluid can directly reach the tool and the machining surface; The three coordinate axes are in agreement with the Cartesian coordinate system, and the sense is intuitive and consistent with the pattern viewing angle, and the chips are easily removed and dropped to avoid scratching the processed surface. Compared with the corresponding horizontal machining center, the structure is simple, the floor space is small, and the price is low.
The above is the purpose of the vertical machining center, I hope to help you.
