The function of vertical machining center: the structure of vertical machining center and CNC milling machine is basically the same, and the processing technology is basically similar, but the obvious difference between the two is that the machining center replaces the automatic tool changing device and tool magazine, and the CNC milling machine does not have this function. The vertical machining center with automatic tool changer and tool magazine has an automatic tool change function, which can be changed according to the tool used in machining.

From the previous function point, the vertical machining center has an automatic tool change function, which can perform multi-process processing in one clamping process, such as boring, drilling, milling, tapping and thread tapping and other multi-process processing. Since the conventional three-axis machining center can not meet the requirements of customer product processing: the processing of impellers, blades, shafts, propellers and other complex curved workpieces cannot be processed by the three-axis vertical machining center, so the four-axis or five-axis function is expanded according to the requirements of the customer's product. It can be seen that the vertical machining center has the function of expanding the number of axes, and can expand the function of four-axis, five-axis and multi-axis.

It is known from the above that the equipment can expand the number of axes, and can clamp and process multiple machining surfaces of the workpiece at one time. Accuracy errors are avoided and time is saved for manual clamping of workpieces. The advantages of vertical machining center, because the structure of vertical machining center is simple and easy to understand, so the workpiece clamping is very easy, you can use the same fixtures, such as: flat nose pliers, pressure plate, indexing head, rotary table and other fixtures to clamp the workpiece, the workpiece clamping positioning and repeated positioning are very convenient. The structure of the vertical machining center facilitates cooling, and since the coolant sprays coolant from top to bottom, it can be sprayed directly onto the hot workpieces and tools during machining.
