Analysis of Advantages of Gantry Machining Center

What is a gantry machining center?

A gantry machining center refers to a machining center where the spindle axis Z axis is set perpendicular to the worktable, and its overall structure is a large machining center machine consisting of a gantry structure frame with double columns and a top beam, with a crossbeam in the middle of the double columns. It is particularly suitable for processing large and complex-shaped workpieces.

The gantry type machining center is a new type of processing technology, and its main work is to compile processing programs, which means to turn manual work into computer programming, and to compile all the process processes, process parameters, and displacement data to be processed into a program, which is used to control the machining of the machine tool.

The machining process of the gantry machining center is basically the same as that of ordinary machine tools in principle, but the entire process of numerical control machining is automated.

The advantages of the gantry machining center mainly include:

• The gantry machining center has a high degree of automation and high production efficiency. Except for manually clamping the blank, all other machining processes can be automatically completed by the CNC machine tool. If combined with automatic loading and unloading means, it is the basic component of unmanned control factory. Numerical control machining reduces the labor intensity of operators and improves working conditions. The process of auxiliary operations such as marking, multiple clamping, positioning detection, etc. is eliminated, which effectively improves production efficiency.

• The gantry machining center such as cnc gantry milling machine has high accuracy and stable quality. The machining dimensional accuracy is between 0.005~0.01 mm, and is not affected by the complexity of the parts. Since most of the operations are automatically completed by machines, human errors are eliminated, and the consistency of dimensional accuracy of batch parts is improved. At the same time, a position detection device is used on the precision-controlled machine tool to further improve the precision of numerical control machining.

• The gantry machining center is easy to communicate with computers and achieve group control. Since the machine tool is controlled by digital information, it is easy to connect with computer-aided design systems to form an integrated CAD/CAM system, and it is also easy to implement group control.
