The machining center consists of five parts: CNC system, detection device, drive device, machine tool transmission chain, servo motor, tool magazine, and automatic tool changing device. It combines the functions of CNC milling machine, CNC boring machine, and CNC drilling machine. With its powerful functions, many turning machining centers have emerged in recent years, which can almost complete all the machining processes of rotating parts.

A machining center with a vertical spindle. Its structure is mostly fixed columns, the workbench is rectangular, and there is no indexing rotation function. Suitable for processing disc, sleeve, and plate parts. It generally has three linear motion coordinate axes, and a rotary worktable that rotates along the horizontal axis can be installed on the worktable to process spiral parts.

Vertical machining centers are easy to install, operate, observe machining conditions, debug programs, and have a wide range of applications. However, due to the limitations of column height and tool changing device, parts that are too high cannot be processed. When processing cavities or concave shapes, chips are not easily discharged. In severe cases, it can damage the cutting tool, damage the machining surface, and affect the smooth progress of machining.  . Horizontal machining center refers to a machining center with a horizontal spindle. It usually has an automatic indexing turntable. It usually has 3 to 5 motion coordinates. The common approach is to add three linear motion coordinates and one rotational motion coordinate. After installing the card once, the processing of the other four surfaces except for the installation surface and top surface is completed. The most suitable for adding box components. Compared with vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers are prone to chip removal during processing, which is beneficial for machining, but their structure is complex. The price is higher.
