I believe that you are no stranger to vertical machining centers. Vertical machining centers have reached a 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 has been favored by many enterprises. The vertical machining center is developed from the basic CNC milling machine. It 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 machines, drilling machines, milling machines, and other machine tools. Let me introduce the functions of the vertical machining center.

The vertical machining center has the following main function points:

Automatic tool change function

The structure of the vertical machining center and the CNC milling machine are the same, and the processing technology is similar, but the biggest difference between the two is that the machining center replaces the automatic tool changer and tool magazine, and the CNC milling machine does not have this function. The vertical machining center with an automatic tool changer and tool magazine has an automatic tool change function, which can be replaced according to the tools used in processing. In general, the vertical machining center can change the tool at will to process different processes of the workpiece.

One workpiece clamping can process multiple processes

From the previous function point, the vertical machining center has the function of automatic tool change. With this function, it can perform multi-process processing in one clamping process, such as boring, drilling, milling, tapping, and tapping. processing.

Function to expand the number of axes

Since the conventional three-axis machining center cannot meet the requirements of customer product processing, such as machining impellers, blades, shafts, propellers, and other complex surface workpieces that cannot be processed by the three-axis vertical machining center, the four-axis machining center is expanded according to the requirements of the customer's products. 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 axes, five axes, and multiple axes.

Multiple machining surfaces can be machined in one workpiece clamping

From the above, it is known that the vertical machining center can expand the number of axes, so after the vertical machining center expands the number of axes, the workpiece can be clamped to process multiple machining surfaces at one time. It avoids the accuracy error of multiple clamping and also saves the time for manual clamping of workpieces.
