INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE

A large stroke vertical machining center is a CNC machining equipment with a large working range and high precision, widely used in aerospace, automotive, machinery, and mold manufacturing industries. Compared with traditional vertical machining centers, large stroke vertical machining centers have a longer working stroke and stronger machining capabilities, making them particularly suitable for machining large parts or complex workpieces requiring multiple machining operations.

1. What is a Large Stroke Vertical Machining Center?
A large stroke vertical machining center refers to a vertical CNC machine tool with a long machining range (especially the X, Y, and Z axis travel). This type of machining center typically has a large worktable area, capable of accommodating large workpieces for machining, making it suitable for efficient machining of large parts. Its design and function focus on optimizing multi-axis linkage, high-precision machining, and high rigidity for large workpieces. Large stroke vertical machining centers not only have high requirements for machining accuracy but also need to handle larger loads and more complex machining tasks, such as heavy parts, precision molds, and machine tool components.

As a professional OEM Large Stroke Vertical Machining Center Manufacturer and ODM Large Stroke Vertical Machining Center Factory, New Era has continuously achieved advanced scientific and technological achievements both domestically and internationally, and has now developed into a professional manufacturer with a complete production and mounting center.

2. Characteristics of Large Stroke Vertical Machining Centers
(1) Large Machining Stroke
The most prominent feature of large stroke vertical machining centers is their "large stroke"—that is, the X, Y, and Z axis strokes are relatively long, typically suitable for workpieces with large length, width, and height. The large stroke allows for the machining of larger parts, and even complex machining operations involving multiple clamping operations.

(2) Larger Worktable
To meet the machining needs of large workpieces, large stroke vertical machining centers typically have a larger worktable, capable of supporting the clamping of heavy workpieces. The size and load-bearing capacity of the worktable enable the machine tool to accommodate larger and heavier workpieces for precision machining.

(3) High Rigidity Structure
Large stroke vertical machining centers need to cope with large cutting forces; therefore, their design emphasizes increased rigidity. Machine tools typically employ cast iron structures to ensure stability during high-speed, high-load machining. Stable rigidity is crucial for guaranteeing machining accuracy and improving cutting efficiency.

(4) High-Precision Machining Capability
Despite their long stroke, long-stroke vertical machining centers maintain high machining accuracy, typically ±0.005mm or higher. Even when machining larger workpieces, they ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

3. Advantages of Long-Stroke Vertical Machining Centers
(1) Machining Large-Size Parts
The biggest advantage of long-stroke vertical machining centers is their ability to machine large-size parts, making them particularly suitable for machining large components and complex structures commonly found in the automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries. The long stroke design ensures the machine tool can accommodate large or heavy workpieces without compromising machining accuracy.

(2) High-Efficiency Machining
Due to their strong load capacity and high machining stability, long-stroke vertical machining centers can efficiently complete batch machining tasks of large-size parts, making them especially suitable for improving production efficiency in mass production.

(3) Multi-faceted Machining Capability
Large-stroke vertical machining centers can perform multi-faceted machining without disassembling or re-clamping the workpiece. Through a rotary table or multi-axis linkage function, it can complete machining at multiple stations in a single setup, significantly improving machining efficiency and quality.

(4) Improved Machining Accuracy
Although the large stroke allows for a wider machining range, thanks to its high-rigidity structure and precise CNC control system, large-stroke vertical machining centers still maintain high machining accuracy, ensuring that parts meet stringent dimensional tolerances and surface quality requirements.

4. Cleaning and Maintenance Checklist for Large-Stroke Vertical Machining Centers

Cleaning Area Operating Procedures Tools/Materials Precautions Recommended Cycle
Long Guide Rails and Protective Covers 1. Clean the guide rails in sections: Wipe the guide rail surface with a non-woven cloth dampened with kerosene to remove hard chips.
2. Clean the accumulated chips inside the telescopic protective cover and check for deformation.
• Non-woven cloth • Kerosene/special cleaning agent • Soft brush • Avoid using metal scrapers. • Mark the order of disassembly of the protective cover to prevent incorrect assembly. Weekly or every 50 hours
Large Span Worktable 1. Move the worktable to its limit position and clean the T-slots and bottom chips.
2. Check the worktable's levelness (using a level).
• Vacuum cleaner • T-slot hook cutter • Level • Chip accumulation may cause guide rail wear; thorough cleaning is required.
• Heavy-duty worktables require two people to operate.
After daily machining
Z-Axis Box-Type Guide Rail 1. Clean the plastic coating on the guide rail and check for peeling. 2. Apply grease (use high-viscosity lithium-based grease). • Plastic scraper • Grease gun • Repair any damaged plastic coating immediately. • The Z-axis must be lubricated throughout its entire stroke to avoid localized dry friction. Weekly
Long Stroke Leadscrew 1. Use an air gun (≤0.3MPa) to blow away debris from the leadscrew threads.
2. Apply lead screw-specific anti-rust oil.
• Low-pressure air gun • Leadscrew oil • Do not reverse the lead screw during cleaning.
• Check for oil leaks in the bearing housings at both ends of the lead screw.
Apply every 3 days or after heavy-duty use.
