machining centers vertical lathes

use a round pipe electrode to machine high speed holes into metal

Horizontal Machining CentersHorizontal machining centers use a horizontal spindle where the tool cuts on the side of the work piece. Although horizontal machining centers are more expensive than vertical machining centers, they provide several advantages such as:

① increased productivity since parts can be loaded on multi sided pallets

② chips do not collect in the work zone

③ accessibility to the next work piece while the machine is running

A vertical machining center (VMC) is a machine tool with its spindle in a vertical position. As the tool rotates, it removes material (chips) from the work piece. In most VMCs the table moves in the X , Y axis the the spindle moves the Z axis.

VMCs are a staple in any machine shop. They are used to produce finish parts, bore holes and rough out cavities. VMCs are also available with automatic tool and pallet changers.

VMCs are used to machine dies / molds & production parts.

Vertical Machining Centers

use a round pipe electrode to machine high speed holes into metal5 Axis VMCs provide added flexibility

by moving / rotating the work piece with a trunnion- style table. In addition to the X,Y and Z axis, the trunnion table’s A & B axis can tilt and rotate the work piece.

5 axis vertical machining advantages

①complex machining that was previously impossible

②eliminates multiple setups ③eliminates costly fixtures required to hold parts④great solution for complex prototype parts⑤uses shorter tools resulting in increased feed

rates, heavier cuts leading to improved productivity

Bridge MillsToyoda Product Line

Toyoda’s bridge mill vertical machining centers are designed for large part and heavy duty milling applications. The columns that the spindle sits on are fixed.

The spindle can move back and forth between the columns, but it can’t move in both X and Y directions… to machine in the Y direction, the table moves from left to right.

VMC or Bridge Mill? Since bridge mills support the spindle on two columns, as opposed to the single support of a VMC, it provides more rigidity than a standard VMC. In most cases, though, a customer will be forced to buy a bridge mill over a standard mill because the part it too big to fit in our VMCs. Toyoda’s smallest bridge is still larger than our biggest VMC.

Adjustable Cross Rail Bridge

Adjustable cross rail bridge machines are used for heavy cuts and large part machining made. Moving cross rail machines offer fully automatic five-face machining and tool changes in the horizontal and vertical orientations. Parts machined are often used for the aerospace,

heavy equipment, & energy, industriesToyoda’s super rigid Adjustable Cross Rail Bridge machining centers offers

5 face machining and tool & head changes in the horizontal & vertical

positions.

Gantry MillsToyoda Product Line

Gantry mills are designed for very large, & heavy part machining. The milling head rides over rails which are positioned on the sides of the machine. The spindle moves in X & Y directions by riding on the rails.

The work table is stationary because of the weight of the workpiece.

Gantry Mills

For large gantry mills, the customer will often carve out a space for the machine in their foundation, so the bed is levelwith the floor.

Boring MillsBoring mills are used to increase the size of an existing hole in a work piece. The boring machining process will increase and improve the size, finish and accuracy of the hole.

The work piece is mounted vertically on a table. The spindle attached to a vertically adjustable head which is fed horizontally and bores the hole into the work piece.

Toyoda Product Line

Unlike holes into metalVertical Turning LathesUnlike horizontal lathes, vertical lathes are designed to turn large diameter heavy work pieces. The work piece is mounted onto a table that rotates the part. The cutting tool is position in the vertical spindle and removes metal as the part rotates.

Vertical lathes are often used to machine cylindrical parts and to trim face surfaces.
