Horizontal Machining
Horizontal CNC machining is a type of mechanical machining. The main difference is that the machine tool spindle is configured in the opposite direction to vertical machining. In horizontal machining, the spindle is horizontal, which causes the tool to cut in a horizontal direction, in contrast to vertical machining, where the spindle is vertical. This difference in machine tool configuration leads to differences in application, advantages and disadvantages, and applicable workpieces.
Main Features of Horizontal Machining
Spindle horizontal configuration:
The cutting is mounted on a horizontal spindle and rotates. This design feature makes horizontal machining to machine long and heavy parts more efficient.
Applicable to a large part:
Due to their structural robustness and balanced cutting forces, horizontal machining centers are particularly suitable for machining large and heavy parts.
Good scraps removal:
Scraps generated during the cutting process fall naturally due to gravity and are not easy to accumulate on the part or tool, which helps to improve machining efficiency and surface quality.
Multi-surface machining capability:
By rotating the worktable (such as the B-axis), the horizontal machining center can achieve multi-sided machining of the part, reducing the operation times.
Application Scope of Horizontal CNC Machining
Horizontal machining machines are widely used in the following industries and application scenarios:
Heavy Machinery Manufacturing:
For example, processing heavy parts such as engine blocks and large gearboxes.
Automotive Industry:
Used for machining engine blocks, gearboxes, and other large parts.
Aerospace Industry:
For example, machining high-precision parts such as aircraft structural parts and engine parts.
Energy Industry:
Such as turbine parts, generator components, and other areas that require high-precision and high-strength part machining.
