Horizontal machining centers, also known as horizontal milling machines, are a special type of machining center where the tool is positioned parallel to the table top. This distinguishes them from vertical machining centers, where the tool is positioned perpendicular to the table top.
Horizontal machining centers are mainly used for machining workpieces smaller than the tool length, since the tool does not protrude beyond the workpiece. They are also suitable for machining workpieces that require high rigidity and precision.
Some of the advantages of horizontal machining centers are:
High rigidity and precision
Compact design
Easy handling of smaller workpieces
Savings in space requirements
Horizontal machining centers are used in a wide range of industries, such as automotive, aerospace, engineering, and medical. They are particularly useful for the production of small and complex workpieces, such as machine components, tools, molds and dies.
