Vertical machining center is a high-precision and high-efficiency CNC machine tool. The following is a detailed introduction about vertical machining center:

1、 Definition and Structure

Vertical machining center refers to a machining center where the spindle axis is perpendicular to the worktable. Its structural form is mostly a fixed column, and the worktable is rectangular without indexing and rotation function. This structure gives the vertical machining center a unique advantage in machining disc, sleeve, and plate parts.

2、 Working principle

The working principle of a vertical machining center is mainly based on the precise control of the spindle and feed system by the numerical control system. During the machining process, the CNC system controls the spindle rotation speed, feed rate, and tool movement trajectory according to the preset machining program, thereby achieving various complex cutting processes. At the same time, the vertical machining center is equipped with advanced lubrication and cooling systems to ensure smooth machining processes and high precision machining quality.
