What is a vertical milling machine and an introduction to vertical milling machines
Compared with horizontal milling machine, the main difference between vertical milling machine and horizontal milling machine is that the spindle is arranged vertically. In addition to the different arrangement of main shaft, the worktable can be up and down.
Compared with horizontal milling machine, the main difference between vertical milling machine and horizontal milling machine is that the spindle is arranged vertically. In addition to the different arrangement of main shaft, the worktable can be up and down. The milling cutter used in vertical milling machine is relatively flexible and has a wide range of application. End mill, cutter head and drill bit can be used. It can mill keyway, milling plane, boring hole, etc. Horizontal milling machine can also use all kinds of cutters above, but it is not as convenient as vertical milling. The main reason is that hanger can be used to enhance the strength of cutting tools (mainly three-sided edge milling cutter, sheet milling cutter, etc.). It can mill groove, plane and cut.
Horizontal milling machines usually have a vertical milling head. Although the function and rigidity of the vertical milling head are not as powerful as those of the vertical milling machine, they are enough to cope with the end milling. This makes horizontal milling machine more powerful than vertical milling machine. Vertical milling machine does not have this feature, and can not process the workpiece suitable for horizontal milling. The productivity is higher than that of horizontal milling machine.
Vertical milling machine application: it is suitable for processing plane, bevel, groove and hole of various parts. It is an ideal processing equipment for machinery manufacturing, mould, instrument, instrument, automobile, motorcycle and other industries, saving equipment investment. However, due to the many jobs of vertical milling machine, this horizontal milling machine with vertical milling head is actually hanging the end milling head every day. When used for vertical milling, it is not as suitable as vertical milling machine.
Horizontal milling is mainly used for gear, spline, slotting, cutting and other processing. Vertical milling machine is mainly used for plane processing, and vertical milling can be used for high and low curved geometric parts, such as molds.
