Five-axis machining has two more axes than conventional machines. "Five" refers to the number of directions the tool can move. The extra two allow advanced rotation and movement to find the optimal connection between the cutting tool and the material. More notably, this simultaneous operation also provides the option to process up to five part faces at once. As many as 60% of CNC shop-produced parts require five-sided machining, making this method increasingly popular.
Five-axis machining centers have two additional axes of rotation and can take one of two basic forms. Five-axis machining allows the use of shorter tools because the tool head can be lowered towards the working direction and the tool is facing the surface. As a result, higher cutting speeds can be achieved and tool vibrations are reduced. Five-axis machining also provides the ability to machine extremely complex parts from solid bodies. With a five-axis machine, the head is automatically oriented along the correct axis for each hole, resulting in faster drilling. Most manufacturers that specialize in making controls for five-axis machines can also provide a feature that allows basic machining operations on corner surfaces to be programmed even for manual programmers.
Shorter lead times: Five-axis machining requires less manual repositioning because it moves parts on its own. It can also move in a more efficient manner and find better angles to increase the efficiency of the cutting process. These factors allow you to complete your work in less time.
Higher Accuracy: Five-axis motion provides greater accuracy than three-axis processes. Any intricate or intricate detail is faster and more precise, and your finished product is sure to adhere to quality and performance specifications.
Shorter tools: With the range of motion for five-axis machining, shorter tools can be used. These reduce vibrations that often occur when deep cuts are made in 3-axis machines. Not only does this provide a smoother finish on the surface, but it also enables higher cutting speeds without excessive pressure.
New Business Opportunities: Five-axis machining is likely to create more opportunities for the products and services you offer your customers. The versatility of this approach can open new doors for your business.
There are several different design types for 5-axis machining that create different combinations of rotary axes. In a vertical machine, the X and Y axes are along the horizontal plane and the Z axis is vertical. Horizontal machines switch Z and Y axes.
