According to the classification of guide rails: According to the form of each axis guide rail in a vertical machining center, it can be divided into hard rails and line rails. Hard rails are suitable for heavy cutting, and line rail motion is more sensitive.
According to speed classification: The spindle speed of vertical machining centers is 6000-15000rpm, which is a low-speed type, and 18000rpm or above is a high-speed type.
Classification based on structure: According to the bed structure of vertical machining centers, they can be divided into C-type and gantry type. Various types of vertical machining for high-speed, five axis linkage, and composite processing.
So what are the advantages of vertical machining centers
1. Can reduce the number of clamping times for machining center workpieces, eliminate positioning errors caused by multiple clamping, and improve machining accuracy;
2. The machining center can reduce the number of machine tools and correspondingly reduce the number of operators, save workshop space, and simplify production planning and organization work;
3. Capable of continuously and automatically processing various processes such as drilling, milling, reaming, expanding, boring, tapping, etc. on each machined surface of the workpiece, with highly concentrated processes;
4. Because the accuracy consistency of product processing in the machining center is good and the quality is relatively stable, the inspection workload is small. Generally, only the first and last piece inspection is required, and the intermediate sampling inspection is sufficient;
5. The entire processing process is automatically controlled by a program, reducing manual labor and making it relatively more intelligent;
