1. Classification by Guideway: Based on the form of the guideways for each axis, vertical machining centers can be divided into hardened guideway machining centers and linear guideway machining centers. Hardened guideways are suitable for heavy cutting, while linear guideways offer more sensitive movement, faster travel speed, and higher precision.
2. Classification by Structure: Based on the bed structure, vertical machining centers can be divided into C-type and gantry type.
