Computer numerical control (CNC) milling generates products of simple or complex geometries from metals and plastics with great precision and speed. This subtractive manufacturing technique relies on automated vertical or horizontal milling centers and rotating spindle-mounted cutting tools to quickly and cost-effectively remove material from a workpiece, ultimately achieving accurate parts in the desired shape.
At G.V. Industries, Inc., high-quality CNC vertical and horizontal milling services are among our core competencies. We specialize in development work, machining, part fabrication, light welding, and assembly. Our advanced milling capabilities allow us to support industries requiring precision, accuracy, and efficiency in their manufacturing runs. Whether you need a prototype or have a high-volume order, GVI has the expertise and equipment to meet your needs for start-to-finish production.
Our Advanced Vertical & Horizontal Milling Machines
Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art CNC vertical and horizontal milling machines to meet our clients’ widely varied manufacturing needs. CNC vertical machining centers (VMCs) are the most commonly used of the two. These machines feature a vertically mounted cutting tool. Horizontal milling machines, or horizontal machining centers (HMCs), utilize a horizontally oriented cutting tool instead.
Applications & Benefits of Vertical CNC Milling & Horizontal CNC Milling
The ideal milling machine for your project will depend on factors like workpiece size, material, design complexity, and order volume.
Vertical Mills (VMCs)
Bed and turret milling equipment comes with lower initial costs as compared to HMCs. Turret mills are ideal VMCs for creating molds and machining parts with bored cavities. However, as the entire bed moves during operation, they’re not suitable for large workpieces.
Horizontal Mills (HMCs)
HMCs are perfect for high-volume jobs or parts with tough material compositions because they’re more powerful and efficient than your typical VMC. Horizontal mills are usually the best choice for large or complex components, and they deliver smooth part surfaces with high-quality finishes. However, HMCs provide less visibility during the machining process.
Quality, Accuracy, Speed & Complexity for Manufacturing Components
When accuracy is of paramount importance, we’ll use vertical milling. VMCs are known for their high precision, and they’re an effective option for such machining applications as drilling and plunge cutting.
When speed or complexity is more important, we use horizontal milling. HMCs still offer good precision but they operate at higher speeds which are best suited for high-volume projects and can achieve more complexity in large components.
