Meeting processing needs
Workpiece size: The size of the workpiece determines the size and travel of the CNC gantry milling machine’s worktable.
Precise measurements of the workpiece’s length, width, and height are required to ensure smooth clamping on the worktable and free movement within the machine’s processing area to complete all machining operations.
For example, machining large ship components or wind turbine equipment requires a CNC gantry milling machine with a large worktable and long travel.
Machining accuracy: Determine the required machining accuracy based on the workpiece’s end use and quality standards.
CNC gantry milling machines of different brands and models vary in accuracy specifications. Common accuracy specifications include positioning accuracy and repeatability.
For machining high-precision aerospace components, such as aircraft engine blades and bearings, a CNC gantry milling machine with high precision and excellent stability should be selected to ensure that machining accuracy meets design requirements and guarantee product quality and performance.
Machining materials: Different materials have varying hardness, toughness, and cutting properties, and these characteristics significantly influence the selection of a CNC gantry milling machine. For example, soft materials like aluminum alloys have low cutting resistance, so a CNC gantry milling machine with higher cutting speeds can be selected to improve machining efficiency and reduce production costs.
Hard materials like titanium alloys and high-temperature alloys, on the other hand, are more challenging to cut and require a machine tool with sufficient rigidity and power to ensure a smooth cutting process and avoid problems such as excessive cutting forces that can cause machine vibration and increased tool wear, impacting machining accuracy and surface quality.
