Horizontal machining center refers to the processing in which the spindle and the table are set in parallel. Generally, it has 3-5 moving axes. Generally, the horizontal machining center is a reverse rotation table with automatic indexing. The most common horizontal machining center is three linear motion coordinate axes plus one rotary motion coordinate axis.
What types of parts are suitable for horizontal machining center
Horizontal machining center is most suitable for processing these large box type workpieces, mainly for the box type workpiece hole system processing and plane processing. The workpiece can be clamped at one time, and other surfaces except the mounting surface and the top surface can be processed. The rotary shaft is installed on the worktable and the workpiece can be rotated to process all sides of the workpiece. It can also install multiple rotation axes to make joint movement, so as to process the box parts with complex surface type.
Characteristics of horizontal machining center
Compared with the vertical machining center, the horizontal machining center has the advantages of easy chip removal and favorable clamping. Some horizontal machining centers have two worktables, one is processing and the other is loading and unloading. This design allows the horizontal machining center to process continuously, which greatly improves the processing efficiency. But the structure is complex and expensive.
