In the CNC machining industry, understanding and learning CNC machine is an important part of improving CNC machining technology. So, have you heard of CNC double column machining center?
What Is CNC Double Column Machining Center
The CNC double column machining center is an advanced CNC machine tool, which is mainly used for machining large or heavy workpieces with high efficiency and high precision. This CNC machine tool adopts a double-column structural design, which provides higher stability and rigidity, and is suitable for withstanding the cutting forces when machining large workpieces. Equipped with a large workbench, it can process multiple workpieces at the same time or accommodate the processing needs of large workpieces. In addition, this type of machine tool usually has multi-axis linkage functions (such as X, Y, and Z axes), and some high-end models may also include rotary axes (A, B, and C axes) to achieve processing of complex shapes. It is also equipped with a high-performance CNC system that can realize intelligent functions such as automated programming, automatic tool change, and multi-process processing. This type of machine tool is usually equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) that can quickly change tools and improve processing efficiency. Its design focuses on precision, and uses precision servo motors and transmission systems to ensure processing accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy. The overall structure has high rigidity and can remain stable during heavy cutting or high-speed processing. In addition to basic milling and drilling functions, special accessories or power heads can be configured as needed to achieve tapping, boring and other functions. And this type of machine tool can process a variety of materials including steel, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy, etc. The user interface is friendly, easy to operate and program, and reduces the programming difficulty of the operator.
Application of CNC Double Column Machining Center in Different Industries
The application cases of CNC double column machining center in different industries are very extensive. Here are some specific cases:
