What is the machinery of the gantry machining center

1、 What kind of machinery is the gantry machining center


There are many types of machining centers, and a gantry machining center is one of them. It refers to a machining center set perpendicular to the Z-axis of the main shaft and the workbench. The overall structure is composed of a double column and a top beam to form a gantry structure frame, with a crossbeam in the middle of the double columns< Br/>


The gantry machining center is composed of a workbench, a gantry, a sliding pillow, a tool library, an accessory head library, and a CNC system. It is mainly suitable for processing large and complex shaped workpieces, including fixed beam type (fixed crossbeam, moving or rotating workbench), moving beam type (moving crossbeam up and down, moving workbench forward and backward), moving column type (fixed workbench, moving gantry), and overhead crane type (fixed workbench, moving crossbeam).
2、 What is the difference between a gantry machining center and a regular machining center


The gantry machining center belongs to a vertical machining center, and its difference from ordinary machining centers is mainly reflected in:



1. In terms of structure, the gantry machining center has a very long X-axis and a double column structure. The Y-axis stroke is larger than that of ordinary machining centers, and there is also an additional side milling head than ordinary machining centers


2. In terms of processing scope, the gantry machining center has a significant advantage in heavy cutting due to its double column support. Therefore, the number of workpieces that can be processed is relatively large. Some larger or more complex workpieces can only be processed using the gantry machining center, which cannot be processed by ordinary machining centers< Br/>


3. In terms of size, gantry machining centers are usually larger than ordinary machining centers.
3、 What axis is the gantry machining center


3、 Both the four and five axes are available< Br/>


A gantry machining center is a type of CNC lathe, commonly used as a three-axis gantry machining center with X, Y, and Z axes. However, some gantry machining centers have four axes, with a rotation axis added to the three axes to complete the four sided machining of the workpiece; Some high processing requirements also require the use of a five axis gantry machining center, which adds a rotating axis and a swinging axis, combined with a five axis linkage CNC system, and can also perform high-precision machining on complex spatial surfaces< Br/>
