CNC vertical lathes and CNC milling machines are common in modern machining, but many people do not know them enough, so what is the difference between CNC vertical lathes and CNC milling machines? The editor will introduce with special of them.
- Milling machines mainly refer to the lathe which use milling tools to process various surfaces of workpieces. Usually the milling tools is mainly moved by the rotation movement, and the movement of the workpiece and the milling tools is the feed movement. It can process planes, grooves, and various curved surfaces, gears, etc.
- CNC vertical lathe is an advanced equipment with excellent performance, wide range of processes and high production efficiency. Vertical lathes are generally divided into single-column and double-column types. It is suitable for processing small and medium-sized discs and cover parts; high-strength cast iron bases and columns have good stability and shock resistance; vertical structure, easy to clamp workpieces.
- Milling machine is a machine tool that can perform milling, drilling and boring processing on workpieces. With the development of industrial technology, CNC milling machines have gradually replaced traditional milling machines with the advantages of high machining accuracy, stable and reliable machining quality, and high production efficiency.
- Vertical lathes belong to large-scale mechanical equipment and are used to process large and heavy workpieces with large radial dimensions but small axial dimensions and complex shapes. Such as cylindrical surface, end surface, conical surface, cylindrical hole, conical hole, etc. of various discs, wheels and sleeves. Machining such as threading, spherical turning, profiling, milling and grinding can also be carried out with the aid of additional devices.
- CNC vertical lathes are used to process workpieces with large diameters and components, or workpieces that are difficult to install on horizontal lathes. The axis of the spindle is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the worktable drives the workpiece to perform torsional motion, and turning by the vertical tool and the lateral tool.
The difference between a CNC vertical lathe and a CNC milling machine is introduced to you. The CNC vertical lathe is suitable for processing disc parts with a relatively large diameter. Because the diameter is too large, the horizontal lathe is inconvenient to clamp, so the vertical type is used. The milling machine is widely used in the machinery manufacturing and repair sectors.
