Question

What is different between CNC conventional and vertical?

Answer 1

your question is a little confusing to someone in the know. but I think I know where you are going with the question. It sounds like you are asking about milling machines. however, the terms you used could be used for a variety of industrial equipment. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, which means the machine is opperated by a computer that is programmed by g-code, a programming language unique to CNC machines. Conventional is sometimes used in a few different ways. It can mean a machine that has no computer controls, where everything the machine does has to be controlled by a person via a crank, button, or lever. It can also mean a machine that is in the conventional or traditional configuration, as opposed to a newer configuration. When talking about milling machines the term vertical refers to a machine where the spindle, or shaft, that does the work rotates around a vertical axis. I hope this answers your question.
