The Difference Between Vertical Tapping Center And Vertical Machining Center

Vertical tapping centers are machine tools for metal cutting which have high efficiency and high precision integrating cutting, drilling and tapping in the market and it is derived from the traditional metal cutting machine tool - vertical machining center. The floor area and processing range are smaller than those of the traditional vertical machining center. It is mainly used for processing light and small metals and is not suitable for heavy cutting. The configuration usually adopts clamping arm tool magazine or servo tool magazine.

CNC machining center is a high-efficiency automatic machine tool composed of mechanical equipment and CNC system, which is suitable for machining complex parts. CNC machining center is one of the most widely used CNC machine tools with the highest output in the world. It has strong comprehensive processing ability. After the workpiece is clamped at one time, it can complete more processing contents and has high processing accuracy. For batch workpieces with medium processing difficulty, its efficiency is 5 ~ 10 times higher than that of ordinary equipment. In particular, it can complete many processing that can not be completed by ordinary equipment. It is more suitable for single piece processing with complex shape and high precision requirements or medium and small batch multi variety production.

In terms of structure, the vertical tapping center is the same as the CNC machining center. The vertical tapping center and the vertical machining center also have the functions of drilling and tapping and high-speed milling. The vertical tapping center has the advantage of "drilling and tapping" over the machining center, and the fast moving feed of high-speed milling is also faster than the flexible machining center, but the model is small and the range is smaller than the machining center, And the cutting force is not as strong as that of machining center. Therefore, from the difference of processing products, the vertical tapping center is more suitable: small, porous, tapping, batch and light metal, and the machining center can be competent for batch heavy cutting of larger pieces。
