Fünf-Achs-Frästechnik für kurze Werkzeuge

The use of short cutting tools is the main feature of five-axis machining. Short tools will significantly reduce tool deviation, thereby obtaining a good surface quality, avoiding rework, reducing the amount of welding rod used, and shortening the processing time of EDM. When considering five-axis machining, the goals of using five-axis machining molds must be considered:
Use the shortest cutting tool possible to complete the processing of the entire workpiece. It also includes reducing programming, clamping and processing time but can get a more perfect surface quality.

As long as the workpiece cavity is not very deep (relative to the tool diameter), a three-axis tool path (2, 3, 5) is sufficient. If the workpiece cavity is very deep and has very narrow parts, it is not enough to use a pure three-axis tool path to complete the entire finishing. In diesem Fall, poor surface quality and long processing time ensue. Figur 1 is the case of a three-axis tool path. Hier, the shortest tool must be very long in order to be able to machine all areas of the workpiece in the vertical direction.

When using a shorter tool, the spindle should be tilted to ensure that the special area of the workpiece can be processed. 3+2 axis machining is usually considered as setting a constant angle to the spindle. Complex workpieces may require many oblique views to cover the entire workpiece, but this will cause tool paths to overlap and increase machining time.
Zusätzlich, all the oblique views are difficult to accurately combine, so the workload of manual polishing will increase, und gleichzeitig, it will greatly increase the movement in and out, which often leads to surface quality problems and more tool movement.

Figur 2 demonstrates four workpiece views, but there is still an area in the center of the workpiece that cannot be covered. This area still needs an additional oblique view.

Um die Mängel zu überwinden 3+2 Achsbearbeitung, Eine Fünf-Achsen-Simultanbearbeitung könnte die bessere Wahl sein, Ganz zu schweigen davon, dass einige fünfachsige Werkzeugmaschinen auch über einige Funktionen verfügen, die speziell für die Formenindustrie entwickelt wurden. Bei der Fünf-Achsen-Verbindungsbearbeitung können drei Linearachsen und zwei Drehachsen so koordiniert werden, dass sie sich gleichzeitig bewegen, Das löst alle Probleme von 3-Achsen- und 3+2 Achsbearbeitung. Das Werkzeug kann sehr kurz sein, Es gibt keine Überschneidungen der Ansichten, die Möglichkeit, den Bearbeitungsbereich zu verpassen, ist geringer, und die Verarbeitung kann kontinuierlich ohne zusätzlichen Import und Export durchgeführt werden (Siehe Abbildung 3).
