The difference between gantry machining center and ordinary machining

&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; With the continuous progress of mechanical manufacturing technology, machining centers have become an important role in mechanical processing production lines, which can improve machining accuracy and efficiency. Among them, gantry machining centers and ordinary machining centers are two common types of machining centers. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the differences between the two in terms of structure, function, machining accuracy, and other aspects< Br/>


&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; 1、 Structure


&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; 1. Gantry machining center



&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; The gantry machining center, also known as a large-scale machining center, is characterized by the use of large-span gantry columns as support, with a span generally exceeding 5 meters. This structural form can provide strong and stable support, suitable for processing workpieces with large dimensions of length, width, and thickness. Often used for the processing and production of large mechanical equipment such as aviation, railway vehicles, and ships< Br/>


&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; 2. Ordinary machining center



&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; A regular machining center, also known as a small machining center, has a relatively simple structure and is mainly composed of a bed, worktable, column, crossbeam, tool magazine, control system, etc. The electronic control box, control system, Bluetooth module, and rear mounted interface are usually installed on the back or side of the equipment as accessory parts of a regular machining center. It is suitable for processing small workpieces with high precision requirements< Br/>


&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; 2、 Function



&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; 1. The difference between gantry machining centers and ordinary machining centers



&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; The gantry machining center has the characteristics of strong cutting force, high machining efficiency, good stability, and can perform various forms of cutting processing. Due to its stable structure, it is less prone to vibration and other issues during cutting, and can be used to process harder materials such as steel and aluminum alloys. The gantry machining center is suitable for the production and manufacturing of large workpieces, small batches, or single pieces< Br/>


&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; 2. Ordinary machining center



&Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp& Nbsp; Compared to gantry machining centers, ordinary machining centers have certain limitations in cutting capabilities and are only suitable for small workpieces and batch production. However, regular machining centers are more flexible and can be customized according to machining needs
