Gantry Machining Center

The HG Machinetools Gantry Machining Center (or Gantry Milling Machine, GMC) is a distinctive machine tool with its double column structure. The gantry refers to the CNC milling machine that hangs above the work table to perform machining operations. It is the rapid movement of the gantry that makes this machine particularly efficient.
Gantry Machining Center (GMC) can perform include milling, facing, boring, drilling, tapping, reaming, etc. This does not make a gantry machine different from a regular milling machine. However, because of the bed size, gantry mills can machine larger, longer and heavier workpieces. They often machine workpieces that are meters in length and width and tons in weight. This feature is particularly beneficial to the aerospace, automotive and military/defense industries, which require the production of large dies/molds.

FAQs of Gantry Machining Center For Sale

HG Machinetools CNC Gantry Machining Center (or gantry milling machine, gantry machining center) is a distinctive machine tool with its double-column structure. The gantry refers to the CNC router that hangs over the worktable to perform machining processes. It is the rapid movement of the gantry that makes this machine extra efficient.

Some common features of GMCs are:

  • A large table that holds the workpiece and can move along the X and Y axes.
  • A spindle that rotates the cutting tool and can move along the Z axis.
  • A tool changer that stores and changes the cutting tools automatically.
  • A control system that controls the movement of the table, spindle, and tool changer, as well as the cutting parameters and programs.

HG Machinetools Gantry Machining Center can perform milling, facing, boring, drilling, tapping, reaming, etc. This does not make a gantry machine any different from a normal milling machine. However, because of the size of the bed, gantry machines can machine larger, longer and heavier workpieces. They often machine workpieces that are meters in length and width and tons in weight. This feature is especially beneficial to the aerospace, automotive, and military/defense industries, which require the production of large dies/molds.

Some of the benefits of using HG Machinetools Gantry Machining Centers are:

  • They can perform a variety of machining operations such as drilling, milling, tapping, boring, contouring, and more with high accuracy and efficiency.
  • They can handle large and heavy workpieces that are difficult to process on other types of machines.
  • They can reduce the setup time and the number of machines required for complex parts by allowing multiple operations in one setup.
  • They can improve the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of the workpiece by minimizing the effects of vibration and thermal expansion on the cutting tool.
  • They can increase the productivity and profitability of the manufacturing process by reducing the labor cost and the material waste.
