The difference between machining centers and drilling and tapping centers from the main application, can be applied, the shape, the choice of tool magazines and fast moving speed of five aspects.
One, from the main application to see the difference
Machining centers are more common, mainly used for machining flat, curved surfaces and other shape of the equipment.
Drilling and tapping center is mainly used for drilling and tapping.
Two, from the application can see the difference
Machining centers can be used for milling.
Drilling and tapping center can only be used for light milling, because the spindle power of the drilling and tapping center is not very large, and can not be used for strong milling and large load processing.
Three, from the appearance of the difference
Machining centers from the appearance of a little more than the drilling and tapping center.
Drilling and tapping center shape similar to the form of a large turntable.
Four, from the choice of tool magazine to see the difference
Machining centers are mainly bucket type tool magazine and disc type tool magazine.
Drilling and tapping centers are mainly turret type tool magazine and turret type tool magazine.
Fifth, from the fast moving speed to see the difference
Machining centers fast moving speed is not as fast as drilling and tapping centers.
The drilling and tapping center uses a linear guideway, fast moving faster than the machining center. The machining efficiency of the machine is obvious.
Expanded Information:
A drilling and tapping center is a machine tool for cutting metal, often also called a "drilling, milling, and tapping center" "drilling and tapping center" " "Drilling and milling center" "drilling and milling machining center" etc. is currently on the market for cutting, drilling, tapping as one of the fastest efficiency and high precision machine tool is derived from the traditional metal cutting machine tools - vertical machining centers (computerized gongs) footprint and processing The footprint and machining stroke are smaller than traditional vertical machining centers.
Mainly used for machining small and light metals, not suitable for heavy cutting configuration is usually used clamping arm type tool magazine or servo type tool magazine.
Numerical control milling machine is in the general milling machine on the basis of the development of a kind of automatic machining equipment, the two processing technology is basically the same, the structure is also somewhat similar. CNC milling machine is divided into two categories without tool magazine and with tool magazine. One of the CNC milling machine with tool magazine is also known as machining centers.
