I believe you are not unfamiliar with vertical machining centers. Vertical machining centers have reached 50% utilization rate in the domestic CNC machine tool market.
It is conceivable that vertical machining centers are widely used in various processing enterprises. It is favored by many companies.The vertical machining center is developed from the basic CNC milling machine, which integrates all the features and functions of the CNC milling machine, and also integrates the functions of many other CNC machine tools, such as: boring machine, drilling machine, milling machine and other machine functions. Let me introduce the functions of the vertical machining center.
The vertical machining center has the following main functions:
Automatic tool change function
The structure of the vertical machining center and the CNC milling machine are basically the same, and the processing technology is basically similar, but the biggest difference between the two is that the machining center substitutes an automatic tool changer and a tool magazine, and the CNC milling machine does not have this function. The vertical machining center with automatic tool changer and tool magazine has an automatic tool change function, which can be replaced according to the tool used during processing. In general, the vertical machining center can freely change the tool to process different processes of the workpiece.
Multi-process function can be processed in one workpiece clamping
From the previous function point, the vertical machining center has an automatic tool change function. With this function, it can perform multi-process processing at one clamping process, such as boring, drilling, milling, tapping and tapping. Processing.
Function to expand the number of axes
Since conventional three-axis machining centers cannot meet customer product processing requirements, such as: processing impellers, blades, shafts, propellers and other complex curved workpieces that cannot be processed by three-axis vertical machining centers, so expand the four-axis according to customer product requirements Or five-axis function. From the above, we know that the vertical machining center has the function of expanding the number of axes, and can expand the functions of four-axis, five-axis and multi-axis.
Multiple machining surfaces can be machined in one workpiece clamping
It is known from the above that the vertical machining center can expand the number of axes, so after the vertical machining center expands the number of axes, it can clamp and process multiple machining surfaces at a time. It avoids the accuracy errors that occur in multiple clampings, and also saves the time for manual clamping of the workpiece.
