The Impact of Granite Gantry Base on CNC Machine Tools(三)
5.1 Comparison with Cast Iron (Traditional Material)Cast iron is the traditional material for machine tool bases, witdvantages in mature processes and controllable costs. However, in high-precision and high-speed machining scenarios, its inherent defects have gradually become a bottleneck. The core differences between granite and c iron are as follows: Characteristic IndexGraniteCast IronAdvantageDensity2.65-3.02 gm³6.8-7.3 g/cm³Granite (lightweight,…
