Advantages of horizontal milling and vertical milling
Milling is one of the most common machining processes, which are used for processing various materials such as metal, plastic, wood, etc. However, the best milling machine for a particular project depends on the complexity and requirements of the specific design.
Milling center can be classified into two kinds, that is horizontal milling and vertical milling. Many milling manufacturer can only process materials by one kind of machine, but Junying can manufacture milling products with both horizontal milling machines and vertical milling machines, which can meet different requirements of the customers. And Junying can manufactures parts with any shapes or features.
Horizontal Milling
A vertical milling machine is similar to a drill press, a cutting tool of a horizontal milling machine is more like a circular saw. Horizontal milling centers are equipped with multiple cutters or rotating universal beds which allow the operator to cut the material at different angles. A horizontal mill is comparable to several machine tools.
Advantages of Horizontal Milling
Fast speed
Horizontal milling machines can cut fast and make multiple cuts at the same time. The chip can also be removed quickly when pocketing and facing.
Good capacity
Horizontal milling machines are ideal for lengthy or large production runs due to their fast speed and good precision.
Durability
Sizes and durable construction of horizontal milling machines make them handle large and heavy materials without bring damage to the machine.
Precision
CNC horizontal milling machines provide precise computer-controlled cuts and tight geometric tolerances, which reduce risks of human errors.
Vertical Milling
A vertical milling machine features in a vertical spindle axis. A vertical mill can be classified into a bed mill and a turret mill two types. The material of the bed mill is placed on a bed which can be moved back and forth horizontally, and the cutter attached to the spindle is guided up and down. The turret mill include a fixed spindle and a bed that moves both vertically and horizontally to position the material.
The mechanisms which underlie vertical milling make the vertical milling particularly good for plunging cuts and drilling. As a matter of fact, the motion of the vertical milling make people think of a standard drill press.
The advantages of vertical milling are as the following.
Visibility
The vertical milling machine provide increased visibility for users because of the openness provided by the orientation, which is useful on the slower project that require special attention to details.
Cost
The vertical milling is often used in machine shops. Therefore, they are cheaper than horizontal millings.
Precision
CNC vertical milling machines guarantee precise cuts, which can reduce the risk of human error existing in the manual machines.
Ease
CNC controls for vertical milling machines are easily used. The wide application of the vertical milling machine indicates that it’s easy to find the skilled operator. The work done on vertical milling machines is also simple and easy to understand. Meanwhile, it doesn’t need any special fixtures.
Horizontal milling and vertical milling both have advantages and disadvantages. Junying has the two different kinds of machines, which can meet customer’s requirements.
