Introduction to Top Horizontal Machining Center – China CNC Machine Tool Manufacturer

The horizontal machining center (HMC) is one of the most commonly used CNC machine tools. It has high technical content and is one of the symbolic products of the development level of the CNC machine tool industry. The horizontal machining center mainly controls the basic movement of the machine tool through the CNC system and servo drive device. Its structure is mainly characterized by the horizontal setting of the spindle, which is usually composed of 3-5 moving parts (spindle box, workbench, column or spindle sleeve, etc.).

An automatic exchange workbench is set on the horizontal machining center to form a flexible manufacturing unit (FMC) to realize the automatic exchange of workpieces, that is, another workpiece can be loaded and unloaded at the same time as machining. After the workpiece is clamped once, it can complete multi-process automatic machining, automatically select and replace the tool, automatically change the spindle speed and feed speed of the machine tool, and automatically change the motion path of the tool and the workpiece, and automatically realize other auxiliary functions.

The horizontal machining center is applicable to the mass production of products with complex shapes and high precision requirements, especially the machining of boxes and complex structural parts. It is widely used for precision and efficient machining of complex parts in automotive, aerospace, marine and power generation industries. At present, the level of domestic horizontal machining centers has been greatly improved, which can achieve the high-speed and precision machining of general parts, and basically meet the needs of users. However, compared with the international advanced level, there is still a gap in accuracy, efficiency, intelligence, and reliability. Therefore, at present, the import volume of high-grade horizontal machining centers is large.
