Gantry machining center is a vertical machining center, compared with ordinary machining center, the difference is mainly reflected in:
1. In terms of structure, the X-axis of the gantry machining center is very long, it is a double-column structure, the Y-axis stroke is larger than that of the ordinary machining center, and there is one more side milling head than the ordinary machining center.
2. In terms of processing scope, the gantry machining center has obvious advantages in heavy cutting due to the double column support, so the workpieces that can be processed are relatively large, and some relatively large or complex workpieces can only be processed by the gantry machining center, and the ordinary machining center can not handle it.
3. In terms of size, the gantry machining center is usually larger than the ordinary machining center.
