Vertical milling machines are suitable for machining planes, inclined surfaces, grooves, holes, etc., on various parts. They are ideal processing equipment for industries such as machinery manufacturing, mold making, instruments, meters, automobiles, and motorcycles, saving on equipment investment. However, due to the numerous small jobs involved in vertical milling, the combination of a horizontal milling machine and a vertical milling head is often used for this purpose, essentially using the vertical milling head as a standalone milling machine, which is less suitable than using a dedicated vertical milling machine.
Horizontal milling is mostly used for gear, spline, grooving, and cutting. Vertical milling machines, in addition to being widely used for plane machining, excel at machining workpieces with varying heights, curves, and straight lines, such as molds.
Machining complex curved surfaces and cavities: Especially in CNC vertical milling machines (such as machining centers), high-precision machining of complex contours such as cams, templates, and molds can be completed.
Supporting multi-process integration: Some CNC models have functions such as automatic tool change, three-axis linkage, and probe measurement, allowing for the completion of composite machining operations such as milling, boring, drilling, reaming, and tapping in a single setup.
