5 axis Machining Services in China

What is 5-axis CNC technology? Application of 5-axis machining?
Among the different machining technologies for chip removal that exist, 5-axis machining is one of the most complex.

The 5-axis machining centers have the ability to carry out translations through the X, Y, Z axes; and rotations through two other axes A and B that can be carried out by the table or by the machine head, thus making the tool more accessible to the part to be machined.

There are two work cycles within multi-axis machining:

Cycle 3 + 2: the fourth and fifth axes remain fixed, they only move in the step of a
process to another, while the X, Y, Z axes move simultaneously.
Simultaneous 5-axis cycle: the 5 axes move at the same time, thus reducing the
machining times and a better finish of the piece.

To carry out the multi-axis machining process, it is necessary to have a CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) programming software. Using this software, a program is created in which the different parameters to be taken into account during the manufacture of the part are configured, such as the definition of the tool paths, speeds and machining advances. Once the program is finished, a code is generated and transmitted to the machine, which will automatically carry out all the previously predefined movements.

Among the main applications of this type of machining are the prototyping of parts in the automotive industry, the manufacture of aeronautical components or the machining of molds and high-precision parts.

The purpose of using this type of technology is to achieve a better quality finish and increase productivity, that is, to optimize the manufacturing process. Due to everything detailed above, KANGDING has 5-axis machining center that also has another advantage: high-speed machining, with which optical and high-precision finishes are obtained in the manufacture of prototypes.

What is 5-axis machining?
5-axis machining provides endless possibilities for part sizes and shapes that you can process efficiently. The term “5 axis” refers to the number of directions in which the cutting tool can move. In a 5-axis machining center, the cutting tool moves through the linear X, Y, and Z axes, and rotates about the A and B axes to access the workpiece from any direction. In other words, you can process all five faces of a part in one assembly.
How Does the 5 Axis CNC Machine Work?
It is based on a complex system calculated computationally taking into account the kinematics of the rotational axes of the machine. A 5-axis CNC works in practically the same way as a three-axis CNC (X, Y, Z), except that the table allows you to put the part in an inclined or isometric position, allowing machining in previously impossible ways.

The software that controls the machine is capable of calculating the position in which the planes change, in order to stay localized and synchronized with the coordinates of the center of rotation of the tools. Regarding this, although the movements were first managed as 3 + 2, that is, the three historical axes (X, Y, Z) plus two new alternative axes on the table. New systems have evolved to perform synchronized movements of all axes simultaneously.
