Longmen machining center and vertical machining center are two common types of CNC machine tools, which have some differences in structure, function, and application.
Structural differences:
Longmen machining center is a large CNC machine tool, usually with a long crossbeam and two vertical axis milling machines. The crossbeam can move along two tracks, allowing the workbench to move along the x-axis and y-axis. The structure of this machine tool is very stable and suitable for processing large components, such as car bodies, airplane bodies, etc.
A vertical machining center is a small CNC machine tool that typically has only one vertical axis and one horizontal axis. The workbench can move on the x-axis and y-axis, but the overall structure of the machine tool is relatively small, suitable for processing small components such as molds, gears, etc.
Functional differences:
Due to its large structure, gantry machining centers usually have a large workspace and processing range, and can perform machining operations such as milling, drilling, and cutting of large components. In addition, gantry machining centers are usually equipped with automatic tool changing systems, which can quickly replace tools and improve machining efficiency.
Vertical machining centers have smaller footprint and higher flexibility, making them suitable for high-precision machining of small components. Due to its compact structure, it can quickly clamp and position workpieces, and is easy to operate and maintain.
Application differences:
Longmen machining center is mainly used for the processing of large mechanical parts, such as automobiles, aerospace, energy and other fields. For example, cutting and welding of car bodies, milling and drilling of aircraft engine parts, etc. Due to its large structure and high-precision machining capability, gantry machining centers are widely used in the field of heavy industry.
Vertical machining centers are mainly used for processing small precision parts, such as molds, gears, hydraulic components, etc. These parts typically require high-precision drilling, milling, and cutting operations, and the structural characteristics and functions of vertical machining centers can meet these requirements.
In summary, there are significant differences in structure, function, and application between gantry machining centers and vertical machining centers. Longmen machining center is mainly used for processing large mechanical parts, with a large working space and processing range; Vertical machining centers are mainly used for the processing of small precision parts, with a smaller footprint and higher flexibility. In practical applications, suitable CNC machine tools should be selected based on the characteristics of the components and processing requirements.
