Double Column Machining Centers 4 axis

Gantry machining centers were designed for machining large parts, which, among other things, are heavy, making machining difficult. Gantry machining centers can be designed with either a moving gantry or a moving table. Using a moving gantry allows for the machining of larger parts while maintaining a smaller overall machining center footprint. With a moving gantry, the tool moves along the X-axis via the gantry itself, which carries a crosshead with a spindle, which in turn moves along the Y-axis horizontally. The tool moves along the Z-axis via the spindle's vertical axis. 

The use of a sliding table enables five-sided and five-axis machining of parts while maintaining precision. Cabinet enclosure is also possible for the machine. X-axis movement is achieved by the worktable moving along linear roller guides, Y-axis movement is achieved by the spindle unit moving along the crosshead, and Z-axis movement is achieved by the spindle unit moving along its vertical axis.

Gantry machining centers are multifunctional and versatile machines capable of replacing a significant number of general-purpose machines. They utilize a large tool magazine, automatic tool changers, CNC systems, and cutting-edge technologies, as manufacturers continually update their product lines. They can perform the following machining operations: milling, boring, countersinking, drilling, internal and external threading, end cutting, and more.
