Fast Design and Analysis of Large Gantry Machining Center Based on Unit Structure

Large gantry machining centers are used for machining of products in almost all industry. To raise the design and production efficiency of machining centers, an integrated method of fast design and analysis is proposed in this paper. Firstly, large components unit structures are decomposed and extracted based on functions and structures. Then, after conducting fast analysis using APDL programming, a method of Comprehensive Evaluation is employed to optimal select the design schemes. Finally, the column of large gantry machining center QLMT6300 is taken as example to illustrate the validity of the method presented.
