There are many types of machining centers，Gantry machining center，Vertical machining center，Horizontal machining centers，A common one is our vertical machining center，Everyone should already know this，Horizontal machining centers, on the other hand, are rarely unclear，Today we will discuss the difference between vertical machining center and horizontal machining。
The structure of vertical machining center is different from that of horizontal machining center。
Vertical machining center withHorizontal machining centersThe main difference is that the Z-axis structure is different，The vertical machining center moves vertically downward on the Z-axis to complete the machining，The horizontal machining center moves horizontally downward on the Z-axis to complete the machining，This is the difference between a vertical machining center and a horizontal machining center。
The table of a vertical machining center is different from that of a horizontal machining center。
The vertical machining center table is usually the structure of the cross slider T-slot table，There are two sets of vertical motion mechanisms responsible for the direction of movement，The X-direction feed table cover is responsible for the Y-direction feed guide，workbench、Horizontal machining centers are only designed to move in the X or Y direction，The form of the workbench is generally a lattice screw hole table top rotary table，It is relatively easy to choose to switch between two tables。
So should you choose a vertical machining center or a horizontal machining center?
They deal with object-orientation differently。Due to the height limitation of the column and tool changer，Vertical machining centers cannot handle components that are too tall。The volume of the workpiece is comparatively smaller。Lateral machining of the workpiece is to be realized，Corner heads or CNC turntables must be installed。In addition to the horizontal clamping, the remaining four sides of the mounting surface and the top surface can be processed。It is suitable for the processing of box parts。Pentahedral machining can be achieved by adding corner heads。
Generally speaking，The structural complexity of a horizontal machining center is higher than that of a vertical machining center，And the price is much higher。
