Gantry machining centers and horizontal machining centers are two completely different types of CNC machine tools, with distinct structural forms and processing applications. However, they share a commonality in that their prices are significantly higher compared to vertical CNC machining centers or CNC lathes. Customers who choose gantry and horizontal machining centers typically have larger processing scales, and naturally, their product processing levels are also higher.
Customers familiar with the Longmen machining centers are generally aware that their structural form features a vertical alignment between the main axis and the worktable. According to their structural forms, Longmen machining centers can be categorized into types such as fixed-column龙门, moving-column龙门, and moving-column-moving-beam龙门, among others.龙门 machining centers are particularly suitable for processing large components, and many large parts like disks, sleeves, and plates often opt for them for high-precision machining. They feature three linear motion coordinate axes, and a rotary table can also be mounted on the worktable to rotate along the horizontal axis, enabling the processing of helical parts.
The structure of horizontal machining centers differs significantly from gantry machining centers. The main axis of a horizontal machining center is parallel to the worktable surface, making this structure ideal for processing large, complex box-like components.
It's clear from the introduction to distinguish the differences between the龙门 machining center and the horizontal machining center. Of course, when choosing a machining center from Jiangsu Demage Machine Tools, reliability and cost-effectiveness should be the foundation.
