Bridge type machining centers

19 Machines

Bridge type machining centers, also called double-column machines, are highly rigid machine tools of medium to large size, ideal for machining large and heavy workpieces. At Makinate, you will find a wide selection of used bridge type machining centers, specialized machines that combine structural robustness with operational versatility to meet the most complex needs of the mechanical sector.

Features of bridge type machining centers

In the traditional configuration of bridge type machining centers, the milling head is mounted and slides along a bridge supported by two columns.... The milling head moves along the Y-axis and rises and descends along the Z-axis, while the table covers the X-axis travel, allowing for the loading and machining of large and heavy workpieces.

Alternative configuration for high loads

A second configuration, ideal for machining very large workpieces, involves the sliding of the two columns housing the head along a fixed table. In this setup, the travel of the three positioning axes X, Y, and Z is all on the head, allowing for:

Higher execution speeds: thanks to optimized axis movement
Greater load capacity: allowing the table to handle heavier loads
High precision: even on large workpieces

Multi-axis versions and automatic head change

Bridge type machining centers are typically built in multi-axis versions, with additional positioning axes on the head and table, allowing the machining of 5 faces of a cube in a single operation. This feature drastically reduces setup times and increases overall productivity.Moreover, in bridge type machining centers, besides the automatic tool changer, there is also a particularly innovative device: the automatic head changer. This allows the entire milling head to be swapped, enabling different types of machining within the same cycle, resulting in enormous time and space savings. Without this device, the workpiece would likely require a second machine and an interruption of the machining cycle.

Main advantages

Bridge type machining centers offer significant benefits for demanding machining operations:

High structural rigidity: ensures precision even on large workpieces
High load capacity: ideal for heavy and bulky components
Operational versatility: thanks to the automatic head changer and multi-axis configurations
Reduction of downtime: complete machining in a single cycle without interruptions
