What Specification Horizontal Machining Center Do We Need to Choose?

1. Table size of horizontal machining center


This is the main parameter of the horizontal machining center, which mainly depends on the outline size and clamping method of typical parts. A table that is slightly larger than the outer dimensions of typical parts should be selected in order to reserve the space required for the installation of fixtures and ensure that the parts can be clamped smoothly on it. In addition, the load-bearing capacity of the table, the number of T-slots and Size, etc. Smaller sizes are more common, such as horizontal machining centers MH-630A, MH-800A, MH-500A, LH-630B, etc. in the station.


2. Coordinate axis stroke of horizontal machining center


The most basic coordinate axes are X, Y, and Z axes, and the stroke has a corresponding proportional relationship with the size of the worktable. The size of the worktable basically determines the size of the processing space. If the size of an individual part is larger than the stroke of the horizontal machining center, the processing area of the part must be within the stroke range of the machine tool. In addition, it is also necessary to consider whether the part interferes with the space of the machine tool exchange tool, and interferes with accessories such as machine tool shields. and other series of questions.


For CNC horizontal machining center that require multi-axis linkage machining (such as adding rotary coordinates A, B, C or additional coordinates U, V, W), such as four-axis and five-axis linkage horizontal machining centers, special orders are required. At the same time, there must be comprehensive consideration and arrangements for the corresponding supporting programming software, measurement methods and machine tool prices.


3. Spindle motor power and torque of horizontal machining center


It reflects the cutting efficiency of the horizontal machining center, and also reflects the cutting rigidity of the horizontal machining center and the overall rigidity of the machine tool from one side. The power of the spindle motor can be configured in various configurations on horizontal machining centers of the same specification. For horizontal machining centers with different spindle speeds of the same specification, the power of the spindle motor can vary greatly.

The power of the spindle motor can be configured in various configurations on horizontal machining centers of the same specification. For horizontal machining centers with different spindle speeds of the same specification, the power of the spindle motor can vary greatly.


5. Spindle speed and feed speed of horizontal machining center


When high-speed cutting or ultra-low-speed cutting is required, attention should be paid to the spindle speed range. Especially in high-speed cutting, it is necessary not only to have a high spindle speed, but also to have a feed rate that matches the spindle speed.


At present, the high-speed trend of horizontal machining centers is developing rapidly. The spindle changes from thousands to tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, and the rapid movement speed of linear coordinates rises from 10-20/min to more than 80m/min. Of course, its functional components such as electric spindles, The prices of linear motors, linear rolling guides, spindle bearings, etc., as well as matching grating rulers, tools and other accessories have also risen correspondingly, even very expensive.
