During the design and manufacturing process of large cnc gantry milling and grinding machines, a variety of structural features are used to ensure that they can withstand large cutting forces.1. Rigid machine tool structureThe machine tool structure of large cnc gantry milling and grinding usually adopts a high-rigidity design to ensure that it will not deform too much when subjected to large cutting forces. The main structural parts of the machine tool, such as the bed, columns, and beams, are usually welded with cast iron or steel. These materials have high strength and rigidity and can effectively resist the forces generated during the cutting process.2. Heavy cast iron bedThe bed is the foundation of the machine tool. The bed of large cnc gantry milling and grinding is usually made of heavy cast iron, which has good shock resistance and stability. Cast iron material has a high damping coefficient, which can effectively absorb the vibration generated during the cutting process, reduce the vibration of the machine tool, and thus improve the processing accuracy and stability.3. High-rigidity gantry frameThe gantry frame is the main load-bearing structure of the machine tool, which consists of left and right columns and a beam. The gantry frame of large CNC gantry milling and grinding usually adopts a high-rigidity design to ensure that the beam and column will not deform too much during the cutting process. The beam usually adopts a box-type structure with reinforcing ribs inside to further improve its rigidity and load-bearing capacity.4. Large-diameter ball screws and linear guidesIn order to withstand large cutting forces, large CNC gantry milling and grinding use large-diameter ball screws and linear guides. These components have high load-bearing capacity and rigidity, can effectively transmit cutting forces, and ensure the stability and accuracy of the machine tool during high-speed processing. Large-diameter ball screws and linear guides can also reduce friction resistance and improve the movement efficiency of the machine tool.5. Powerful spindleThe spindle of large CNC gantry milling and grinding usually adopts a strong design to withstand large cutting forces and torques. The spindle is usually supported by high-rigidity bearings to ensure that it can remain stable under high-speed rotation and large cutting loads. The cooling system of the spindle is also very important, which can effectively control the temperature rise of the spindle and prevent thermal deformation.6. Heavy tool clamping systemThe tool clamping system of large CNC gantry milling and grinding usually adopts hydraulic or mechanical clamping devices to ensure that the tool will not loosen during the cutting process. The heavy tool clamping system can withstand large cutting forces to ensure the stability and processing accuracy of the tool.7. Balanced counterweight systemIn order to ensure that the machine tool will not be unbalanced due to excessive cutting force during the processing, large CNC gantry milling and grinding are usually equipped with a balanced counterweight system. These systems can balance the weight of the spindle box and the tool, and reduce the vibration and deformation of the machine tool during the cutting process.8. High-precision servo system and control systemThe servo system and control system of large CNC gantry milling and grinding are very accurate and can accurately control the motion trajectory and cutting parameters of the machine tool. The high-precision servo system can ensure that the machine tool can maintain stable processing accuracy under high-speed processing and large cutting load.9. Cooling and lubrication systemLarge CNC gantry milling and grinding are usually equipped with efficient cooling and lubrication systems to ensure good cooling and lubrication performance during long processing. The cooling system can effectively control the temperature of the cutting area to prevent overheating of the tool and workpiece, while the lubrication system can reduce friction and extend the service life of the machine tool and tool.Large CNC gantry milling and grinding ensures that it can withstand large cutting forces through its high-rigidity machine tool structure, heavy-duty cast iron bed, high-rigidity gantry frame, large-diameter ball screw and linear guide, powerful spindle, heavy-duty tool clamping system, balanced counterweight system, high-precision servo system and control system, and efficient cooling and lubrication system. These structural features work together to make large CNC gantry milling and grinding perform well in high-intensity and high-precision processing tasks.
