Now, thanks to the development of technology, five axis machining technology is becoming more and more mature, and machining capabilities are also recognized in various fields. Five axis machining is not only suitable for box parts, plate cover parts, and special machining, but also particularly suitable for machining irregular parts and complex surfaces.
Moreover, people are increasingly aware of the benefits of five axis machining, which not only save time, obtain accurate cutting angles, and extend tool life, but also have more significant advantages, such as:
1. Five axis machining has better surface smoothness of workpieces
In terms of the contour geometry of machined parts, the five axis machining function can improve the surface smoothness of the workpiece. When using three-axis machining machines for processing, longer delivery times are required because they require very small cuts to generate. The same surface finish provided on a five axis CNC machine tool enables five axis machining to bring parts closer to cutting tools. Due to the reduced vibration generated by five axis CNC machining, the surface smoothness of the workpiece has also been improved as a result.
2. Five axis machining can improve accuracy and extend the service life of cutting tools
Five axis machining can improve accuracy by reducing settings. Because more settings mean more potential error space. Some tasks can even be completed in one setting, greatly reducing the risk of errors. Simultaneously using shorter cutting tools can extend their lifespan. Five axis machine tools can bring the machine head closer to the cutting surface. This allows for the use of higher cutting speeds, which results in an extended tool life as vibration decreases.
3. Five axis machining centers can save money
By saving users' time, five axis machining center CNC machines can also directly save money. Improving the tool life of five axis machining means requiring fewer tools, and increasing accuracy means reducing the costly risk of errors. Moreover, there are many other ways to save costs for five axis CNC machine tools, including reducing footprint, improving flexibility and spindle utilization, reducing the demand for expensive fixtures, and lowering inventory investment.
Although it is an expensive investment in the early stages of five axis CNC machine tools, the reduction in total expenditure combined with other advantages makes CNC five axis machine tools a wise choice for many processing manufacturers.
