Vertical Machining Center Model and Key Technical Parameters
Vertical machining center (VMC) is a kind of computer numerical control machine tool, which has many functions like milling, drilling, tapping, boring processing. It is widely used in the production of automobile parts, die processing and other industries. This article will introduce the classification, model and key technical parameters of the vertical machining center.
Classification of Vertical Machining Center
According to the scope of application, vertical machining centers can be divided into general machining center and special machining center.
General machining centers are suitable for small batch and multi varieties production. And its main application field is mold manufacturing and general machinery parts processing. For example, DMG MORI DMU50eVo Linear and DMG MORI CMX 1100V are examples of this type of machining center.
Special machining centers are suitable for large batch production in varieties, and its main application fields are automobile industry, aviation industry and so on. Most of them have special functions such as servo drive spindle, high rigidity and rapid traverse speed. For example, Yuri VMCP in the automobile industry, Hurco VMX in the aviation industry.
Model of Vertical Machining Center
Vertical machining centers have a wide variety of models, and the models are mainly distinguished by spindle speed. For example, China-made vertical machining centers generally have three spindle speed levels: low-speed vertical machining center, medium-speed vertical machining center and high-speed vertical machining center. Among them, the low-speed vertical machining center is generally used for processing carbon steel and cast steel parts; the medium-speed vertical machining center is mainly used for processing aluminum parts and some hard alloy parts; the high-speed vertical machining center is mainly used for processing soft alloy parts and some special materials parts.
Key Technical Parameters of Vertical Machining Center
1. Worktable size and load: Worktable load is generally between 700kg and 3000kg, and the size ranges from 400mm*400mm to 2000mm*800mm.
2. Drive system: There are two types of drive systems, AC servo motor and DC servo motor.
3. Spindle speed: Spindle speed ranges from 3,000rpm to 30,000rpm.
4. Resolution: Generally expressed in millimeters, the resolution ranges from 0.001mm to 0.0001mm.
5. Tool magazine: There are two types of tool magazine, arm type and drum type.
6. Software control system: Controllers include GSK3/GSK5, Siemens, Fanuc and so on.
7. Others: It includes the speed of X, Y and Z axis, the repeatability of machining position, etc.
Conclusion
The above is the article about vertical machining center model and key technical parameters. Vertical machining centers are widely used in various industries, and its advantages and disadvantages are quite different, so the selection of model should be according to the production and processing task, different types of workpieces need different models.
