5 axis machining center

Five-axis linkage machining center, also called five-axis machining center, is a machining center with high technological content and high precision specially used for machining complex curved surfaces. It has a pivotal influence on high-precision medical equipment and other industries. The 5 axis machining center is the only means to solve the processing of impellers, blades, marine propellers, heavy generator rotors, steam turbine rotors, large diesel engine crankshafts, etc.

What are the characteristics of a five-axis machining center?

1.The five-axis linkage machining center has the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision. Complex machining can be completed in one clamping of the workpiece. It can adapt to the processing of modern molds such as auto parts and aircraft structural parts.

2.It can process the hand plate workpiece in any posture, can avoid the phenomenon that the cutting speed of the machining center is zero, and can also select the most suitable machining center tool and the posture relative to the workpiece to effectively process it, and use it for concave shapes. The tool is inclined for machining.

3.It generates toolpaths that prevent tool-workpiece interference. At this time, taking the software solid model as the center, the tool path can be derived by using the algorithm to prevent interference. The generated toolpaths are neutral data independent of the structure of the 5-axis control machining center.

There is a big difference between a five-axis machining center and a pentahedral machining center. The five-axis  machining center has five axes of x, y, z, a, and c. The xyz and ac axes form five-axis linkage processing. It is good at spatial surface processing, special-shaped processing, and hollow processing. The "pentahedron machining center" is similar to a three-axis machining center, except that it can do five surfaces at the same time, but it cannot do special-shaped machining, oblique holes, and bevel cutting.

What are the advantages of a five-axis machining center?

The application of the five-axis machining center makes the impossible possible. It integrates the functions of milling, engraving, cutting, drilling, grooving, etc., making the processing of various complex workpieces simple, that is, we realize the five-axis machining center reduces the production cost of the enterprise and creates great business opportunities and benefits for the enterprise!

The future development of five-axis machining centers

Now the machining center has gradually become the main equipment in the mechanical processing industry. It has a wide range of processing and a large amount of use. In recent years, there has been great development in terms of variety, performance and function.

The new five-axis machining center can be used for aviation and aerospace parts; there is a high-performance machining center specially used for mold processing, which integrates 3D CAD/CAM for super-finishing of complex curved surfaces of the mold; there is a high-speed machining center suitable for the processing of large-scale parts of automobiles and motorcycles, with high production efficiency and flexibility change.
