Category of PRATIC CNC machining centers
PRATIC full range of CNC machining centers include following types:
1.Long-travel CNC Vertical Machining Centers, or refers as Moving Column CNC Vertical Machining Centers
The type is where PRATIC CNC started its business journey. The biggest advantage is the traveling column design with X-axis travel from 2 to 20 meters (10 meters above shall be customized), which enables them to machine various lengths of workpieces or expand production ability by adding more machining heads, spindles, holding fixtures & jigs on the machine. Meanwhile they have multiple functions, namely milling, drilling, tapping, chamfering, routing, cutting and so on, feature of high speed, high precision, and 3/4/5 axis are available for option.
2. Multi-functional Horizontal CNC Machining Centers
This type covers light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty machining capability, all series can realize multi-face machining 3+1 axis machining after one set-up (workpiece loading and fixing) or 3+2 machining by two-times of clamping. As well as easily fit with automated robotics.
There are options of one-pallet machine and machine with two pallets.
This type machining center is perfect for the workpieces in box shape, plate shape and needs for multi-face machining.
3.Gantry CNC Machining Centers, also known as planer-type machining centers
This type of machines has larger Y and Z axis travel and which is perfect for machining larger size workpieces. It also covers light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty machining capability. This type has two sub-categories, namely PGM series and PH series.
PGM series has different structural combinations of moving beam, fixed beam, moving column, fixed column, moving worktable, fixed worktable, the different structures can meet different processing needs.
PH series are mainly bridge-type gantry structure, box-in-box structure, to meet the different demands of users.
The Gantry CNC machining centers also have multiple functions, feature of high rigidity, high precision and 3/5 axis are available for option.
4. Traditional CNC Vertical Machining Centers, well known as VMC
PRATIC also produces VMC which has smaller X-axis travel (usually less than 2 meters) for machining small size workpieces with high precision.
