Versa-Bar is a cast iron produced in our cast iron foundry that is easy to machine, retains lubrication, wears efficiently, and is an inexpensive alternative to metals such as bronze, aluminum, or stainless steel.
What are the advantages of CNC horizontal machining?
CNC horizontal machines are increasingly popular for their efficiency and high production levels. Listed below are just a few of the benefits a horizontal machine center (HMC) has to offer:
- Efficient processing time: A horizontal machine can swap pallets, reducing the delay between machining cycles. Several pieces can be finished in one cycle, saving time and floor space.
- Complex machining: A horizontal machine can create a multi-sided part in one cycle, make slots, and cut grooves into a material.
- Significant material removal: If the workpiece needs large amounts of material moved, horizontal machines are a better solution than vertical ones. The chips fall away from the machine, reducing the need for manual removal.
