Vertical Machining, also known as milling, relies on rotary cutters to remove metal from a workpiece. Vertical machining occurs on a vertical machining center (VMC), which employs a spindle with a vertical orientation. With a vertically oriented spindle, tools stick straight down from the tool holder, and often cut across the top of a workpiece. While Mazak’s vertical machining centers range in size and capacity, each one is designed with quality, reliability, ease of operation and safety in mind. Furthermore, thanks to their Production-On-Demand manufacturing philosophy, all of these vertical machining centers incorporate the latest, most advanced milling technology for boosting productivity and growing your business.
