26. Vertical Machining Centers C-Frame Style

27. C-frame style Here are the components making up a C frame style machining center…

28. C-frame style Bed

29. C-frame style Bed Y axis Ways

30. C-frame style Column

31. C-frame style Column Z axis ways

32. C-frame style Headstock

33. C-frame style Headstock Spindle

34. C-frame style This machine is called a “C frame style” because the headstock, column, and bed for a letter “C”.

35. C-frame style This machine is called a vertical machining center because the spindle is oriented in a vertical fashion.
