Gantry drilling and milling machines use CNC technology to accurately control the tool’s motion trajectory and cutting parameters through a computer control system, achieving high-precision cutting and processing. With fast processing speed and a large processing range, it can meet the processing requirements of large parts and components, while reducing processing cycles and production cycles. It has multiple processing functions such as drilling, milling, boring, and tapping, and can complete a single process or perform composite processing, which improves processing speed and flexibility. The degree of automation is good, and only simple programming and settings are required to achieve automatic loading, positioning, tool change, processing and other operations, reducing manual operation and work intensity. The gantry structure enables the equipment to maintain low vibration and noise during movement, further improving the processing quality.
How to extend the life of the gantry drilling and milling machine?
- Do not be careless during installation and disassembly, and strictly follow the operating specifications to avoid improper operation to cause damage to the linear guide rail; find problems in time and repair them in time, otherwise the service life of the gantry drilling and milling machine will be shortened.
- As the basic structure of the milling machine, the gantry drilling and milling machine has a wide range of functions, including boring, cutting, milling and other functions. The machine tool is composed of a workbench base (which can be produced according to customer requirements), a workbench surface, a transmission screw, etc. The structure is simple and has a wide range of uses.
- The service life of the gantry drilling and milling machine depends not only on its own technology and quality, but also on the careful maintenance and care of the operator during the work process. The running time of the gantry drilling and milling machine can reduce the replacement frequency of the manufacturer’s gantry drilling and milling machine. From a long-term perspective, it will save the manufacturer a production cost.
- Find the external factors that affect the wear of the linear guide rail. The linear guide rail has a better working environment, and daily cleaning work is done well. If it is in a harsh working environment, not only the linear guide rail itself but also the entire gantry drilling and milling machine will be damaged to varying degrees;
- The processing process and assembly process of the gantry drilling and milling machine are the two main contents of mechanical manufacturing technology. The process of changing the shape, size, relative position and properties of the production object in the production process to make it a finished product or semi-finished product is called a process. For example, the manufacturing, machining, heat treatment, and assembly of the blank are all process processes.
- The worktable and the milling head slide are both mobile feed type guide rails with arbitrary feed amount and mobile level. This machine tool can use the vertical movement of the milling machine slide to complete the positioning of the upper and lower end faces of the workpiece, and the worktable can move horizontally for processing.
In recent years, the machinery industry has innovated and developed the machine tool industry. On the basis of the original gantry drilling and milling machine, the development of the CNC gantry drilling and milling machine has been developed, that is, on the basis of the original gantry drilling and milling machine. Replace the ordinary screw with a ball screw, and inlay the linear guide on the cast iron guide surface. Replace the gearbox motor with a servo motor. Make the slide table move forward and backward. Use ball screws and linear rails to obtain better accuracy. The slide table is divided into A and B types, using high-grade cast iron or inlaid steel structure, with ordinary grade and grade two precision. Type A is a double-rectangular guide rail, generally used for rough processing, and type B is a one-mountain-one-rectangular guide rail, used for fine processing. This series of slides has beautiful appearance and good rigidity. It is an ideal basic power component for combined machine tools and automatic lines. When the slide is used for deep hole processing, it should also be noted that it has a graded feed device.
Based on the original gantry drilling and milling machine, Chuang has developed a CNC gantry drilling and milling machine, that is, based on the original gantry drilling and milling machine. Replace the ordinary screw with a ball screw, and inlay the linear guide on the cast iron guide surface. Replace the gearbox motor with a servo motor. The slide can move forward and backward. Use ball screws and linear rails to obtain better accuracy.
- Electric drive:
With the widespread application of low inertia, DC servo motors and matching servo drives, this drive system has been widely selected and works in a wide range.
- Hydraulic drive:
Hydraulic drive has the characteristics of large power, large inertia, high response, and easy direct drive. It is suitable for slide manipulators working in environments with large loads.
- Pneumatic drive:
Pneumatic drive has the characteristics of simple system structure and convenient maintenance. It is suitable for systems with small and medium loads. It is difficult to implement servo control, and it is mostly used for program-controlled sliding table robots, and is widely used in loading and unloading and stamping equipment.
