Vertical Vs Horizontal CNC V Grooving Machine

1.Dimension

The dimensions of the two grooving machines are basically the same, but the vertical grooving machine is taller than the horizontal grooving machine, so the visual effect is slightly worse. Generally, store space is limited, and store customers tend to choose horizontal grooving machines.

2.Material Loading

2.1 First of all, since the front end of the vertical grooving machine is open, the back gauge will automatically open after the workpiece is processed.

The plate is sent to the front end of the equipment, making it more convenient for the operator to get on and off the plate; secondly, because the workbench of the vertical grooving machine is narrow and the front bracket is designed with multiple universal balls, when processing thicker plates, the platform The movement of the plate is more flexible, more convenient and practical.

2.2 Due to the large working platform of the horizontal grooving machine, when processing the entire plate or larger plates, loading and unloading will be more time-consuming and laborious; generally speaking, there will be a protective film on the front of the stainless steel plate, so that when moving the plate, The protective film will form a friction barrier with the work surface. If thicker sheets are being processed, moving the sheets will be extremely time-consuming and laborious.

3.Processing Range

Vertical grooving machine: processing 0.5-6mm thickness, 4000mm*4000mm specifications plate.

Horizontal grooving machine: processing 0.5-4mm thickness and 4000mm*1250mm size plates.

4.Processing Speed

Since the tool holder of the vertical grooving machine is relatively light, its running speed is relatively fast, and the vertical grooving machine has a double tool holder design, which will save a certain amount of man-hours when processing the density grooves of the entire board; due to the horizontal grooving machine The entire beam needs to move when the grooving machine is processing, so the processing speed is lower than that of the vertical grooving machine.  

5.Energy Saving

Since the tool holder of the vertical grooving machine weighs about 300Kg and the beam of the horizontal grooving machine weighs about 900kg, the power consumption of the main motor of the vertical grooving machine during processing is lower than that of the horizontal grooving machine.          

6.Cost and Price

Since the vertical grooving machine has more parts, weight, processing technology, assembly technology, etc. and is more complex than the horizontal grooving machine, the cost price and sales price of the vertical grooving machine are both higher than the horizontal grooving machine.
