Milling is a way to remove materials by metal cutting with high-speed rotating tools. Horizontal machining center is a kind of machine tool which can realize milling through the mechanism of horizontal layout spindle. Due to the horizontal arrangement of the spindle, the tool moves back and forth along the side of the workpiece to promote the effective discharge of chips. The horizontal machining center can also be equipped with double exchange worktable to realize unattended operation and shorten the processing cycle of workpieces. The following mechanical processing small series to explain the advantages and disadvantages of horizontal machining center.

Advantages of horizontal machining center

1. Compared with the vertical machining center, the horizontal machining center has better chip removal ability. Especially when machining the mold cavity, there is no problem with the horizontal machining center, but the vertical machining center is different. When using the vertical machining center to process the mold cavity, it is difficult to remove the chip, which may lead to the damage of the workpiece and tool.

2. Due to the complex structure of the horizontal machining center, the rigidity of the structure is very good. It can process heavy-duty workpieces, such as automobile engine cylinder.

3. Because the structure of horizontal machining center is very complex, it has a very strong seismic capacity, whether under static load or dynamic load, the seismic capacity of horizontal machining center is very good.

Disadvantages of horizontal machining center

1. Because the structure of horizontal machining center is very complex, it is inconvenient for engineers to adjust and observe the machining parameters. At the same time, it is inconvenient to measure the workpiece and observe the running track of the cutting tool.

2. Compared with the vertical machining center, the horizontal machining center occupies a large area due to its large volume.

3. Compared with vertical machining center, the structure of horizontal machining center is complex, which makes many novices confused, and the price of horizontal machining center is very expensive.
