Characteristics and Working Principle of SEALION's Gantry Machining Center

What is a Gantry Machining Center?

A gantry machining center refers to a machine tool where the spindle box is supported by a beam and the carriage moves. Its characteristics include a solid and stable structure, making it suitable for coarse and fine machining of large and heavy workpieces. The gantry machining center has high rigidity and stability, making it ideal for high-speed cutting.

A gantry machining center is a high-precision, high-efficiency CNC machine tool widely used in metal processing, mold manufacturing, aerospace, and other fields. It adopts a gantry structure, with a beam and columns, capable of precise movements along three coordinate axes to achieve complex part machining. SEALION's gantry machining centers are widely used in energy, civil engineering, mold manufacturing, engine, and other fields.

Working Principle of Gantry Machining Center

Range of Milling Tools

• The gantry machining center provides machining equipment for different levels of manufacturing. This example includes CNC machining operations, both light and heavy.

  
  

• The spindle is set to open vertically during vertical milling. Here, the axis remains a fundamental determinant.

  
  

• Only with the help of the axis can the machine maintain balance in all aspects of the workpiece material.

  
  

• Gantry machining centers particularly offer CNC machining and VMC. Examples include: WM array vertical CNC machining machines and WM array gantry-type machining, focusing on a few design companies.

Axis Characteristics of Gantry Milling Equipment

Accessible gantry machining equipment outlines the latest machine planning process to request programming assistance. Access to machining equipment is available via 5 relative machining axes. This face-to-face machining reduces the introduction of workpiece metal. Consequently, the machine is versatile and can operate both physically and naturally.

X-Axis and Y-Axis Mechanisms in Gantry Milling Machines

X-axis hub, Y-axis hub, and Z-axis pivot separate the 5 facing machining axes. The X-axis hub shaft can be customized with manual assistance. Furthermore, the Y-axis hub is tested in programming mode. The Z-axis remains useful for machining metal workpieces with larger widths. The Y-axis hub and Z-pivot enhance the accuracy of machining operations.
