The difference between horizontal machining center and gantry machining center

Gantry machining centers and horizontal machining centers are two types of CNC machining equipment with completely different structures, and their structural forms and processing purposes are also completely different. But these two CNC machine tools have one thing in common that the price is much higher than that of CNC vertical machining centers or CNC lathes. Customers who choose gantry machining centers and horizontal machining centers generally have relatively large processing scales. Of course, the processing grade of its products is also relatively high.

Most customers who have used the gantry machining center know that its structural form is perpendicular to the main axis and the worktable. According to the structure, the gantry processing center can be divided into: fixed column gantry, moving column gantry, moving column and moving beam gantry and other types. The gantry machining center is more suitable for the processing of large parts. Many high-precision machining of large parts such as discs, sleeves and plates will choose the gantry machining center. It has three linear motion coordinate axes, and a rotary table that rotates along the horizontal axis can also be installed on the workbench for processing helical parts.

The structural form of the horizontal machining center is very different from that of the gantry machining center. The main axis of the horizontal machining center is parallel to the worktable. This structural form is suitable for processing large box-like complex parts.

It is not difficult to see the difference between the gantry machining center and the horizontal machining center through the introduction. Of course, which kind of machining center machine tool to choose should be based on reliable quality and high cost performance.
