Machining centers can be roughly divided into two types from the modeling style, vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers. This classification is also the easiest to recognize.
What are the main differences between vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers? As far as some machining center manufacturers are concerned, most of them tend to produce vertical machining centers.
The reason is not that machining center manufacturers, who produce vertical machining centers The cost is not lower than the cost of producing horizontal machining centers. The key reason depends on the characteristics of vertical machining centers in the final analysis.
The first thing most people see when buying an instrument is the appearance. Obviously, whether the appearance is good, the first impression is good, and the desire to buy is also strong. The vertical type is smaller in appearance than the horizontal type, light in weight, and looks good after use. The most important thing is that the vertical machine has a small footprint. This is the final reason why many customers tend to buy vertical machining centers. , Yes, this is indeed the advantage of a vertical machine, but this advantage also brings a lot of defects to it, such as the maintenance and use of the vertical machine is far from the horizontal portability.
Because the vertical machining center has a certain height, the smoothness of the production line is not as strong as the horizontal operability and coordination, so if the space factor is discarded, I would recommend buying a horizontal machining center.
