There are many types of machining centers, gantry machining center is one of them, it refers to the machining center where the axis of the spindle Z-axis is perpendicular to the worktable, and the overall structure is composed of double columns and top beams to form a portal structure frame, and there are beams in the middle of the double columns.
The gantry machining center is composed of a worktable, a gantry, a ram, a tool magazine, an accessory head magazine and a numerical control system, including fixed beam type (beam fixation, worktable movement or rotation), moving beam type (beam moving up and down, worktable moving back and forth), moving column type (worktable fixed, gantry moving), crane type (worktable fixed, beam moving) and so on, mainly suitable for processing large workpieces and workpieces with complex shapes.
