Horizontal V Grooving Machine and Vertical V Grooving Machine

We can divide sheet metal V Grooving Machine into two main types: CNC Horizontal Groove Machine and CNC Vertical Groove Machine from the point of design.

Where are the different points?

Depending on the designer's point of view, we divide it into these two types. Literally, the difference between the two has been obvious. The horizontal groover originated in Korea. As imported equipment, it has been sought after by many people. Based on different design concepts, both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Which CNC V Grooving Machine is better?

Horizontal Grooving Machine VS Vertical Grooving Machine

Processing accuracy

The depth of planning groove is directly related to the bending effect. If the depth error reaches 0.05 mm, the R of bending position will be obviously inconsistent.

Vertical Grooving Machines

The working table is narrow. The planer is fixed in a straight line position to the working table. Variable factors can be well controlled. The distance accuracy from the tool tip to the table is controlled in the range of 0.02mm.

Horizontal Grooving Machines

Its working table is larger and easier to work. So, the more things need to be controlled. In contrast, the accuracy is lower. The knife is facing a platform 1.5 meters wide and more than 4 meters long. Therefore, it is very difficult to control the accuracy in the range of 0.1 mm. However, Shenchong RGEK V-grooving machine enhances the machine durability and precision.

Energy consumption

When the vertical slotting machine is working, the tool holder part moves back and forth. Its weight is about 60 kg.

When the horizontal slotting machine is working, the gantry and the tool holder move back and forth together. Its weight is about 1000kg. Therefore, its energy consumption is more than 10 times that of vertical grooving machine.

In terms of energy saving and environmental protection, vertical grooving machine is much better.

Applications range

Vertical steel groove machines have a dozen separate pressing plates and more than ten independent clamps for automatic clamping. Plates of all sizes can be processed. What’s more, it both can do horizontal and vertical grooves. The minimum work piece size is 80mm*80mm.

Horizontal groove machine is suitable for slotting large sheet metal. After longitudinally planning the slot, the plate cannot be clamped horizontally because of deformation. So, it cannot be able to horizontal gouging.

Processing technology

The vertical type’s work surface is a high-quality mold steel overall heat treatment after a grinder refined. Its surface fineness achieves the effect of mirror.

Horizontal type’s working table is welded by common iron plate. Stainless steel sheets are harder than they are. Long-term use can make the table potholes. Long-term use can make the table bumpy. That’s the reason for the spots on the processed products. But its wide countertop is also more convenient for workers to operate.

In addition to the 4 most important differences, they also differ in installation and safety performance.

In summary, considering and comparing comprehensively, the vertical v-grooving machinery has smaller energy consumption and higher safety and precision. But its operating table is narrow and the large steel plate is difficult to operate. Also, new generation horizontal v-grooving machine has greatly improved its accuracy, quality and stability.
