Machine Tool Casting-the gantry planer body
2022-09-21 09:52:28

The gantry planer body is mainly used for planing large workpieces, and it can also clamp multiple parts on the workbench for  simultaneous processing. It is the mother machine of the industry.

 

The worktable of  the gantry planer takes the workpiece to reciprocate in a straight line through the portal frame, and the idle stroke speed is greater than the working stroke speed. There are generally two vertical tool rests on the beam, and the tool rest slide can be rotated at an angle in the vertical plane, and can be moved laterally along the beam. The gantry planer is a planer with a portal frame and a long horizontal bed.

The gantry planer is mainly used for planing large workpieces, and it can also clamp multiple parts on the workbench for simultaneous processing. It is the mother machine of the industry. The worktable of the gantry planer takes the workpiece to reciprocate in a straight line through the portal frame, and the idle stroke speed is greater than the working stroke speed.

 

There are generally two vertical tool rests on the beam, the tool rest slide can be rotated at an angle in the vertical plane, and can be fed laterally along the beam; the planer can be moved vertically or obliquely on the tool rest; the beam It can be adjusted up and down on the two columns. Generally, a side tool holder that can move up and down along the column is also installed on the two columns to expand the processing range. When the table returns, the tool can be lifted automatically to avoid scratching the surface of the workpiece. The machine tool table can be driven by a generator-motor unit or a thyristor DC speed regulation mode, which has a large speed regulation range and can also obtain a large driving force at low speed.

 

Some gantry planers are also equipped with milling heads and grinding heads, which are modified into gantry planer milling machines and gantry planer milling and grinding machines. The worktable can be used for both main motion and slow feed motion.

 

It is mainly used for heavy workpieces at one time. Planing, milling and plane grinding are performed during installation.
