Vertical machining centers, also known as vertical milling machines, are a special type of machining center where the tool is positioned perpendicular to the table top. This distinguishes them from horizontal machining centers, where the tool is positioned parallel to the table top.
Vertical machining centers are mainly used for machining workpieces that are larger than the tool length, as the tool extends beyond the workpiece to create deep holes or grooves. They are also suitable for machining workpieces that require high rigidity and precision.
Some of the advantages of vertical machining centers are:
High rigidity and precision
Ability to create deep holes or grooves
Easy handling of large workpieces
Compact design
Savings in space requirements
Vertical machining centers are used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, engineering and medical. They are particularly useful for the production of large and complex workpieces, such as machine components, tools, molds and dies.
