high-quality VMC machined parts for a variety of applications. The company uses advanced CNC mills, EDM and lathe machines to create parts, components and assemblies of all sizes. VMC machining is an advanced method of machining that offers precise results, fast processing and reduced cost compared to traditional machining. This type of machining is used to create complex geometries and intricate details on even the most difficult parts.
VMC machining combines the benefits of computer numerical control (CNC) with other machining techniques to create parts with higher accuracy, faster turnaround and overall cost savings. CNC machines are computer-controlled and use precision cutting tools to precisely cut materials into shapes and sizes as per the specific requirements. EDM machines use electrical sparks to cut into a material for high-precision parts. Lathe machines are used to form parts and components from rods and bars of raw material.

VMC machines are classified based on mainly four categories:
● Classification based on the Guide Rail: Hard Rail & Linear Rail
The VMC machine can be separated into the hard rail and linear rail based on the shape of each axis’ guide rail. The stiffness of the strong rail makes it appropriate for heavy cutting. The linear rail is a ball-bearing guide rail that moves rapidly and with greater sensitivity.
● Classification based on the Spindle Speed: Low Speed & High Speed
The low-speed type VMC machines’ spindle speed is 6000-15000rpm, whereas the high-speed type’s spindle speed is above 18000rpm. Surface polish and processing precision will improve high-speed and high-precision VMC machines.
● Classification based on the Bed Structure: C Type & Gantry Type
The VMC can be classified into two types based on its bed structure: C type and gantry type.
● Classification based on the Column Structure: Fixed column & fixed worktable
❖ Fixed-column VMC stands for vertical machining center with table movement. This type of vertical machining center accounts for over 75% of the market in terms of production and sales.
❖ A fixed worktable VMC is also known as a moving-column type VMC. This type of vertical machining center accounts for around 15% of the vertical machining center market in production and sales.
