With the development of science and technology in recent years, vertical machining centers have become more and more widely used. Compared with the corresponding horizontal machining center, the vertical machining center has a relatively simple structure, a relatively small area, and a relatively low price. Vertical machining centers can meet high-speed drilling and tapping at the same time, and they are especially suitable for the processing industries of IT and auto parts. So what are the functions of the vertical machining center? Mainly reflected in the following 4 aspects:

1. Discs, sleeves, plate parts
There are planes, curved surfaces and holes on the end face of this kind of parts, and some radial holes are often distributed in the radial direction. The disc, sleeve, and plate parts whose processing parts are concentrated on a single end face should choose a vertical machining center. The processing parts are not located in the same The parts on the directional surface should choose a horizontal machining center.

2. Irregular shaped parts
Special-shaped parts refer to parts with irregular shapes ...
... such as vertical machining center brackets and shift forks, and most of them are mixed processing of key points, lines and surfaces. Due to the irregular shape, only the principle of decentralized processing can be adopted on ordinary machine tools, which requires more tooling and longer cycle. Utilizing the characteristics of multi-station point, line and surface mixed processing of the vertical machining center, most or even all of the process content can be completed.

3. Cams
Such parts include various curved disc cams, cylindrical cams, conical cams and end cams, etc. When machining, a three-axis, four-axis or five-axis linkage vertical machining center can be selected according to the complexity of the cam surface.

4. Impeller
Impellers are commonly used in aero-engine compressors, air compressors, marine underwater propellers, etc. In addition to the characteristics of general curved surface processing, impellers also have many special processing difficulties, such as narrow passages in vertical machining centers and easy cutting tools. Interference with the machined surface and adjacent curved surfaces. The leaf surface is a typical three-dimensional space surface. For processing such a profile, a vertical machining center with more than four-axis linkage can be used.

The CNC vertical machining center is easy to observe the trajectory of the cutting tool, and it is very convenient to check and measure and debug the program. It can find problems in time, stop processing/modification, and it is easy to establish cooling conditions. The role of vertical machining centers is shared here.
