Time:2026-04-30
  

Gantry milling machines can be divided into gantry frame type and horizontal long bed type. On a gantry machining center, multiple milling cutters can process surfaces simultaneously. It features high machining accuracy and production efficiency, suitable for batch and mass production of planes and inclined planes of large workpieces. It can also process spatial curved surfaces and some special-shaped parts.

Operators must be familiar with and master its performance and characteristics to respond quickly and effectively in case of emergencies and avoid personal injury.

Wear labor protection articles as required. Wearing gloves during operation is strictly prohibited.

Do not touch the electronic switches of the gantry machining center with wet hands to prevent electric shock. Do not touch any moving parts with hands during operation.

Do not place tools or non-processing workpieces on the gantry machining center or moving parts.

Computer desks and workbenches must be firm and shall not be placed on moving components.

Stop the machine first when loading and unloading workpieces, and keep an appropriate distance between workpieces and tools. Do not open the front door or left and right protective covers arbitrarily while the machine is running to avoid injury.

After tool setting is completed, run DRY RUN first to confirm the procedure is correct.

In case of power failure or emergency stop, shut down the machine and reset the three axes to their original positions.

It is forbidden to dismantle travel switches and any parts related to protection switches without authorization.

Before finishing work and leaving the gantry machining center, turn off the control power switch on the operation panel and the main switch of the electrical cabinet.
