由于落地(di)式(shi)鏜(tang)銑(xian)(xian)(xian)床(chuang)以加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)大(da)(da)型零件為主，銑(xian)(xian)(xian)削工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝范(fan)圍廣，尤其是大(da)(da)功率、強力切削是落地(di)鏜(tang)銑(xian)(xian)(xian)床(chuang)的(de)一大(da)(da)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)優勢，這也(ye)是落地(di)鏜(tang)銑(xian)(xian)(xian)床(chuang)的(de)傳(chuan)統(tong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝概念(nian)。而當(dang)代落地(di)鏜(tang)銑(xian)(xian)(xian)床(chuang)的(de)技(ji)術發展，正在改(gai)(gai)變傳(chuan)統(tong)的(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝概念(nian)與加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)方(fang)法，高(gao)(gao)速加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝概念(nian)正在替(ti)代傳(chuan)統(tong)的(de)重(zhong)切削概念(nian)，以高(gao)(gao)速、高(gao)(gao)精、高(gao)(gao)效帶來加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝方(fang)法的(de)改(gai)(gai)變，從而也(ye)促(cu)進了落地(di)式(shi)鏜(tang)銑(xian)(xian)(xian)床(chuang)結(jie)構性改(gai)(gai)變和技(ji)術水平的(de)提高(gao)(gao)。
當今(jin)，落地(di)式鏜(tang)銑(xian)床發展的(de)最大(da)特點是向高速(su)銑(xian)削(xue)發展，均為滑枕(zhen)式（無鏜(tang)軸）結構，并配備(bei)各種不同工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝性能(neng)的(de)銑(xian)頭附(fu)件(jian)。該結構的(de)優點是滑枕(zhen)的(de)截面(mian)大(da)，剛性好，行(xing)程長，移動速(su)度快，便(bian)于安裝各種功(gong)能(neng)附(fu)件(jian)，主要是高速(su)鏜(tang)、銑(xian)頭、兩坐標雙擺角(jiao)銑(xian)頭等，將落地(di)鏜(tang)銑(xian)床的(de)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝性能(neng)及加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)范圍達到極致，大(da)大(da)提高了加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)速(su)度與效率。
傳統的銑削是通過鏜桿(gan)進行加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)，而現代(dai)銑削加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)，多(duo)由各種功能附件通過滑(hua)枕完成，已(yi)有(you)替代(dai)傳統加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的趨勢，其優(you)點不僅是銑削的速度、效率高(gao)(gao)，更主(zhu)要是可進行多(duo)面(mian)體和曲面(mian)的加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)，這是傳統加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)方法無法完成的。因此，很(hen)(hen)多(duo)廠(chang)家都競相開發生產滑(hua)枕式（無鏜軸）高(gao)(gao)速加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)中(zhong)心，在于它(ta)的經濟性(xing)，技(ji)術優(you)勢很(hen)(hen)明(ming)顯，還能大(da)大(da)提高(gao)(gao)機床的工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝水平(ping)和工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝范圍(wei)。同(tong)時(shi)，又(you)提高(gao)(gao)了加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)精(jing)(jing)度和加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)效率。當然，需要各種不同(tong)型(xing)式的高(gao)(gao)精(jing)(jing)密銑頭附件作技(ji)術保(bao)障，對(dui)其要求也很(hen)(hen)高(gao)(gao)。
高(gao)速(su)銑(xian)削給(gei)落地(di)(di)式(shi)鏜銑(xian)床帶來了(le)結構上的(de)(de)變化，主軸箱居中的(de)(de)結構較為普遍，其剛性(xing)(xing)高(gao)，適合高(gao)速(su)運(yun)行。滑枕驅動結構采用(yong)(yong)線性(xing)(xing)導軌，直線電機(ji)驅動，這種結構是高(gao)速(su)切削所必需的(de)(de)，國(guo)外廠家(jia)在(zai)落地(di)(di)式(shi)鏜銑(xian)床上都(dou)已(yi)采用(yong)(yong)，國(guo)內同類產(chan)品還不多見，僅在(zai)中小(xiao)規格機(ji)床上采用(yong)(yong)線性(xing)(xing)導軌。高(gao)速(su)加(jia)工還對環境、安全(quan)提出了(le)更高(gao)的(de)(de)要求，這又產(chan)生了(le)宜(yi)人化生產(chan)的(de)(de)概(gai)念，各廠家(jia)都(dou)非常(chang)重視機(ji)床高(gao)速(su)運(yun)行狀態下(xia)，對人的(de)(de)安全(quan)保護與(yu)可操作性(xing)(xing)，將操作臺、立柱實行全(quan)封閉式(shi)結構，既(ji)安全(quan)又美觀。
