Moving Table

Gantry machining centers with a sliding table are used for the precise machining of large parts, offering easy access to five-sided machining of large components. For this purpose, they are equipped with interchangeable additional milling heads, which can be changed automatically or manually. Gantry machining centers with a sliding table are easier to equip with a cabinet enclosure and four-sided splash protection, and they are also easier to maintain and repair. Despite the relatively large dimensions of machining centers, manufacturers strive to make their configurations as compact and ergonomic as possible. New technologies and materials help maintain precision machining, such as ball screw cooling, vibration-damping structures, linear guides, and more. CNC systems help control the machining process.
