As one of the CNC machine tools, the worktable of the gantry machining center is vertically distributed to the spindle axis, and the overall structure presents a door frame structure. According to its appearance, it is not difficult to see that the person who named it has a kind of Chinese romance. In a way, the appearance of the machine tool is similar to the mythical gantry.
Compared with other machine tools, the gantry machining center is more suitable for the processing of large workpieces and has more advantages for the processing of complex workpieces. The gantry machining center can be said to be a new processing technology. Its main job is to compile the processing program, that is, to convert the original manual work into computer programming, program all the process flow, process parameters, and displacement data to be processed, and use the program to control the processing of the machine tool.
The processing technology of the gantry machining center is basically the same as that of ordinary machine tools in principle, but the entire process of CNC machining is automated, so the advantages of the gantry machining center mainly include:
The gantry machining center has high precision and stable quality. The machining dimensional accuracy is 0.005~0.01 mm, which is not affected by the complexity of the parts. For most of the operations are done automatically by the machine, human error is avoided and the consistency of batch part dimensions is improved.
The gantry machining center has a high degree of automation and high production efficiency. In addition to manual blank clamping, all other machining processes can be automatically completed by CNC machine tools. If combined with automatic loading and unloading means, it is an essential part of an unmanned factory. CNC machining reduces the labor intensity of operators, improves working conditions and effectively increases production efficiency.
