Horizontal Boring Machine

The Horizontal Boring Machine is often refered to as a Jig Borer however this isn't entirely true as the Jig Borer is meerely a brand name for a type of machine.

A Horizontal Boring Machine must, fundamentally, have its work spindle parallel to the ground and work table. Typically Horizontal Boring Machines have 3 linear axes. Convention dictates that the main axis that drives the part towards the work spindle is the Z axis, with a cross traversing X Axis and a vertically traversing Y Axis. The work spindle is refered to as the C Axis and if a rotary table is incorporated it is defined as the B Axis.

Many Horizontal Boring Machines use a rotary table as it expands the machines capacity and flexability.

Horizontal Boring Machines are often heavy duty industrial machines used for roughing out large components how ever there are some high precision horizontal boring machines on the market too. Modern machines feature Advanced CNC Control Systems and techniques.
