What are the differences between vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers

1. Vertical machining center

A vertical machining center refers to a spindle that is in the state of a vertical machining center. Its structural form is a fixed column, and the worktable is rectangular, without any rotation function. It is suitable for machining plates, sleeves, and plate parts. It generally has three linear motion axes and can be installed on a turntable that rotates along the horizontal axis on the worktable for machining spiral parts.

The vertical machining center card is convenient, easy to operate, easy to observe and process, simple to debug programs, and widely used. However, due to the height of the column and the limitations of the tool changing device, it is not possible to process parts that are too high. In the machining cavity or concave surface, chips are not easily discharged, and in severe cases, they can damage the tool, damage the already machined surface, and affect the smooth progress of machining.

2. Horizontal machining center

Horizontal machining center spindle machining center has a horizontal state, usually equipped with an automatic indexing turntable, which generally has three to five coordinate movements, usually three linear motion coordinates and one rotational motion coordinate. The workpiece is on a card, and after completion, except for installation and top surface processing, it is suitable for combination with body parts.

Compared with vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers are easier to remove chips, which is beneficial for machining, but their structure is complex and their price is higher.
