Gantry planer is mainly used for planing large workpieces, and can also clamp multiple parts on the workbench for simultaneous processing. It is an industrial machine tool. The workbench of the gantry planer takes the workpiece through the gantry frame for linear reciprocating motion, and the idle stroke speed is greater than the working stroke speed. Generally, there are two vertical tool holders on the cross beam, and the sliding seats of the tool holders can rotate at a certain angle in the vertical plane and can do transverse feeding movement along the cross beam;

The gantry milling machine has a gantry frame and a horizontal long bed milling machine. Gantry milling machine has high machining accuracy and high productivity, and is suitable for the plane and inclined plane machining of large and medium-sized workpieces in batch and mass production. CNC gantry milling machine can also process spatial curved surfaces and some special parts.

2, the difference:

The appearance of the gantry milling machine is similar to that of the gantry planer. The difference is that the beam and column of the gantry milling machine are equipped with milling cutter seats with headstock instead of planer tool rest. The reciprocating motion of the longitudinal table of the gantry milling machine is not the main motion, but the feeding motion, and the rotary motion of the milling cutter is the main motion. On the gantry milling machine, multiple milling cutters can be used to process curved surfaces at the same time, so the production efficiency is relatively high, and it is suitable for batch and single-piece production of medium and large workpieces.

The main parameter of gantry milling machine is the width of worktable.
