Thanks to the internet, it’s now even easier to find a CNC mill that meets your needs, and your budget. We’ve been selling used CNC mill equipment for over 15 years, and have become well known as a supplier of quality horizontal and vertical machining centers. We identify our customer’s needs, whether they’re high speed machining applications or machines that are suited for heavy duty material removal rates in tougher alloys, and help them complete their purchase in a timely manner.
Vertical and Horizontal Configurations
There are two basic configurations for CNC machining centers: vertical and horizontal. There are other classifications according to method of control, size, purpose and power source.
Vertical Machining Center
In a vertical mill the spindle axis is vertically oriented. The spindle can be extended, or the table can be raised and lowered, to facilitate plunge cuts and drilling. There are two categories of vertical mills: a turret mill, and a bed mill. A turret mill has a stationary spindle and the table is moved both perpendicular and parallel to the spindle axis to accomplish cutting. With a bed mill, the table moves only perpendicular to the spindle’s axis, while the spindle itself moves parallel to its own axis.
Horizontal Machining Center
A horizontal mill also features an x–y table, but cutters are mounted on a horizontal arbor (an arbor is an axle or spindle above the bed) across the table. Many horizontal mills also sport a rotary table or universal table in order to facilitate milling at various angles. On a horizontal mill, as the cutters are supported from the arbor and have a larger cross-sectional area than an end mill, quite heavy cuts can be made. This enables rapid material removal rates.
Horizontal or Vertical, Which Choice is Best?
When choosing between vertical and horizontal milling machines for your business, it’s important to consider how complex your work will be. Vertical machining centers are usually more affordable and are not as expensive to tool up and fixture. Many general purpose machining centers are of a vertical configuration. Horizontal machining centers typically are equipped with pallet changers, are much more efficient at automating, chip disposal is much better, and in many cases workpieces can be approached from multiple sides in one set up.
