What is the difference between CNC vertical machining center 1380 and ordinary milling machine?

CNC vertical machining center 1380 and ordinary milling machine essentially represent typical equipment of two different eras of metal cutting processing, and their differences are all-round. The core difference lies in the degree of automation and control method. Ordinary milling machines rely entirely on the manual skills and experience of operators to manipulate the handle to move the workbench or spindle to complete a series of actions such as feeding, tool setting, and tool changing. The whole process is time-consuming and labor-intensive and significantly affected by human factors; while CNC vertical machining center 1380 is driven in all directions by pre-written computer numerical control programs, realizing a high degree of automation of the machining process. Just enter the program into the system, and CNC vertical machining center 1380 can automatically execute all instructions such as movement, cutting, tool changing and even cooling, which greatly liberates manpower and ensures the consistency and stability of the machining process.

Secondly, it is reflected in the integration of structure and function. Ordinary milling machines have relatively simple and open structures and relatively single functions. They are usually limited to basic operations such as milling planes and grooves. If complex processes or tool changes are required, manual operations are required, which is inefficient. The CNC vertical machining center 1380 is a highly integrated manufacturing unit, which comes standard with a closed protection system, a large-capacity automatic tool magazine and a precise automatic tool changer. This means that in one clamping, it can automatically call multiple tools and continuously complete various complex processes such as milling, drilling, tapping, boring, etc., which can be called "one clamping, complete everything". This composite processing capability is its revolutionary advantage.

The accuracy of ordinary milling machines depends largely on the technical level of workers and the wear state of the equipment itself, and the repeat positioning accuracy is relatively limited. The CNC vertical machining center 1380 relies on precise ball screws, servo drive systems and closed-loop feedback control to achieve micron-level repeat positioning accuracy and excellent processing consistency. Its powerful multi-axis linkage capability enables it to easily process complex spatial curved surface contours, which is difficult or impossible for ordinary milling machines.

Finally, in terms of efficiency and applicability, ordinary milling machines are still valuable in small batches, simple parts maintenance and teaching scenarios, but in the face of the complex, precise and mass production required by modern manufacturing, the CNC vertical machining center 1380 has become the core equipment of modern efficient production with its unparalleled automation, high efficiency, high precision and powerful complex parts processing capabilities.
