Machining centers are currently widely used in the field of machining. Mainly applied in the following industries:

1. Mold

The previous mold production used manual methods, requiring the use of gypsum to make models and then steel billets to make models. After planing and smoothing with a planer, use a manual or carving machine to carve the shape of the product mold as a model. The entire processing process requires a high level of skill from the processing master and is quite time-consuming. Once an error occurs, it cannot be corrected and all previous efforts are in vain. But the machining center can complete multiple processes at once, and the machining efficiency is incomparable to manual operation. Before processing, the computer is used to design graphics and simulate the detection of whether the processed workpiece meets the requirements. By adjusting the test piece in a timely manner, the fault tolerance is greatly improved and the error rate is reduced. It can be said that machining centers are the most suitable mechanical equipment for mold processing.

2. Box shaped components

Parts with complex shapes, internal cavities, large volumes, and more than one hole system, and a certain proportion of the length, width, and height of the internal cavity, are suitable for CNC machining of machining centers.

3. Complex surfaces

The machining center can be clamped at once to complete the machining of all sides and top surfaces except for the clamping surface. The machining principle varies depending on the machine model, and the spindle or worktable can rotate the workpiece 90 ° for machining. Therefore, the machining center is suitable for processing mobile phone parts, automotive components, and aerospace materials. Such as the back cover and shell of a mobile phone, the appearance of the engine, and so on.

4. Alien parts

The machining center can be equipped with clamping devices and can complete various processes such as drilling, milling, boring, expanding, reaming, and rigid tapping as a whole. For irregularly shaped parts that require multi station mixed processing of points, lines, and surfaces, machining centers are the most suitable mechanical equipment.

5. Disk, sleeve, and plate components

The machining center is designed for hole systems with keyways, radial holes, or distributed end faces, as well as curved disk sleeves or shaft parts, such as flanged shaft sleeves, shaft parts with keyways or square heads, according to different spindle transport pipelines. There are also board parts with multiple hole processing, such as various motor covers. Vertical machining centers are recommended for disc parts with distributed hole systems and curved surfaces on the end face, while horizontal machining centers are optional for those with radial holes.

6. Parts produced in batches periodically

The processing time of a machining center generally includes two parts: the required time for processing and the preparation time for processing. Preparation time accounts for a high proportion of it. This includes: process time, programming time, component testing time, etc. The machining center can store these operations for future repeated use. In this way, when processing the part in the future, this time can be saved. The production cycle can be greatly shortened. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for mass production of orders.
