What products are suitable for processing with a gantry machining center?

The overall structure of the gantry machining center is a portal frame consisting of sturdy double columns and top beams, with a middle crossbeam connecting the two columns. This structure provides high stability and rigidity, and the capability of withstanding heavy loads and maintaining high-precision machining for a long time.

Fixed Beam Gantry Machining Center

As the core of machining centers, advanced numerical control systems (CNC) are used to control the actions of machine tools, including tool paths, speeds, cutting parameters, etc., to ensure the accuracy and consistency of machining. There are two common types of CNC systems in the market: imported and domestically produced, which can be selected according to clients' demands.

Equipped with a tool magazine, it can automatically replace different types of tools to meet different processing needs, significantly improving production efficiency. There are various forms of tool magazines, including disc type, bucket type, and chain type. Large gantry machining centers often use disc or bucket-type tool magazines.

The gantry machining center can perform high-precision milling, drilling, tapping, and other operations on long metal plates by linking X, Y, and Z axes and possible additional axes (such as A, and B). In addition to the standard X, Y, and Z three-axis linkage, some large gantry machining centers also support additional axes, such as rotation axes A, B, C, etc., to achieve five or more axis linkage machining, which can more flexibly handle complex surface and angle machining tasks.

The lubrication system adopts an active type system, which is controlled by a numerical control system to supply oil as needed and can warn of potential oil circuit problems in advance, extending the service life of the machine tool.

The workbench is usually rectangular and can carry large parts.

The "big" of the gantry machining center is reflected in the large machining stroke of the workpiece, that is, the machine tool can process a wide range of workpiece sizes and can withstand large workpiece weights. For example, some gantry machines with a width of 3.2 meters or even larger can process ultra-wide workpieces. The unique "hunchback" column design prevents the deformation and sagging of the gantry crossbeam, the "honeycomb" workbench enhances rigidity and, improves load-bearing capacity, and the 45 ° stepped inclined rail design optimizes the accuracy and stability of the Z-axis and Y-axis.

Dynamic beam gantry machining center

Gantry Machining Center has high precision and efficient processing capabilities, which makes it suitable for precision machining large structural components in aerospace, shipbuilding, heavy machinery, wind power energy, and other fields. It is used for milling large flat plates or complex shaped parts, especially for the flat and side processing of long metal plates.

Gantry CNC lathe is a CNC machine tool designed specifically for heavy loads and large-sized workpieces. Unlike traditional gantry milling machines or machining centers, it mainly focuses on turning machining rather than milling or planing. In terms of design, it usually has a spindle system with high rigidity and high torque, which can withstand strong cutting. Large-diameter cutting tools are used for efficient metal cutting, improving production efficiency.

Gantry CNC lathes are particularly suitable for processing shaft or disc workpieces with large diameters and lengths, such as heavy machinery shafts, large pipe fittings, wind turbine spindles, etc.

Dynamic column CNC gantry machining center

These workpieces often cannot be effectively machined on ordinary lathes. Gantry CNC lathes are suitable for processing various metal materials with high hardness or good toughness, including but not limited to carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. It plays an important role in industries such as heavy machinery manufacturing, energy, shipbuilding, and rail transit, and is a key equipment for achieving efficient and high-precision processing of large and complex parts.
