Vertical Milling Machines: Bridge and Portal Mills

Bridge mills or portal mills are vertical milling machines characterized by an adjustable crossrail (creating a “bridge” or “portal”), which allows the spindle axis to travel from end to end of large workpieces. The broader dimensions of this type of vertical CNC machine accommodates more work in a single pass to increase productivity and efficiency. Waldrich Coburg sets the standard that others follow with our line of portal milling machines, optimized for accuracy and precision across a wide range of applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a vertical milling machine and a vertical turning machine?
The main difference between a vertical milling machine and a vertical turning machine (aka vertical lathe) is whether the workpiece is stationary or rotating. Vertical mills use a variety of spinning tools attached to a spindle axis to remove material from a stationary workpiece fixed to a machine table, whereas vertical turning machines rapidly spin the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool to shape it into form.
