Vertical milling machines are a type of milling machine that is used to carry out various types of operations on a workpiece. The vertical milling machine gets its name from the fact that the spindle, which holds the cutting tool, is mounted in a vertical position with respect to the work surface. This allows for greater accuracy and control when machining parts.

In 1884, the gantry milling machine was first developed. The emergence of semi-automatic milling machines began in the 1920s. The workbench utilized the stoppers to carry out fast-feed or feed-fast conversion automatically.

In recent years, the usage habits and processing conditions of gantry milling machines are different, so gantry milling heads have also successively introduced milling heads in different directions for use in machine tools (vertical/horizontal milling heads), and also widely load angle heads/horizontal milling heads. So that the processing range of the gantry milling machine is wider to meet the more difficult processing requirements.

A cutting tool placed on a revolving CNC milling head is used in the production operation of a CNC milling machine to remove items from a block of the raw substrate with precision. The machine can work at a variety of angles since the workpiece is firmly attached to a table that can move or rotate at various angles. To create more complex designs or to prevent having to shift the workpiece to a different machine, advanced CNC milling machines might feature 5 or more axes of independent motion.

The CNC milling head is the essential part of a CNC mill. It is the heart of a CNC milling machine, which can make the machines work or not work. Therefore, it is indispensable to choose a good one.
