Difference between vertical machining center and horizontal machining center
There are vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers, what is the difference between them?
Vertical machining center with vertical spindle, workpiece fixed on the table, table moving in XY axis, tool moving in Z axis, suitable for machining parts with small height size and large plane size, simple structure and small footprint. However, when machining large parts, the tool overhang may affect the accuracy, the chips fall by gravity, and the sticky chips may accumulate.
Horizontal machining center spindle level, the workpiece installed in the rotary table can rotate, the tool moves in the Z-axis, suitable for machining box type complex parts, a clamping can be machined more than one surface. Its machining accuracy is more advantageous in the processing of complex and large parts, easy chip removal, chips can be discharged from the side or below under the effect of gravity and centrifugal force.
