What is the difference between a gantry machining center and a horizontal machining center

Author: MULAN - Plastic Molding Manufacturer

The gantry machining center and the horizontal machining center are different in terms of structure and processing use. Both are relatively expensive beds. Customers must choose according to their own processing parts when selecting models. Gantry processing The main axis of the center is perpendicular to the designer of the worktable. According to its structure, it is divided into: fixed column gantry, moving column gantry, moving column and moving beam gantry, etc. It is suitable for processing large parts such as discs, sleeves, and plates. It has three linear motion coordinate axes, and a rotary table that rotates along the horizontal axis can be installed on the worktable to process spiral parts. The design of the main axis of the horizontal machining center and the worktable is parallel, and the horizontal type is suitable for processing relatively large box-type parts.
