multi axis machining centre

With the development of numerical control technology, multi-axis numerical control machining centers are being used more and more widely. As the basis of modern mechanical manufacturing technology, numerical control machining technology has made significant changes in the mechanical manufacturing process.

Compared with traditional machining technology, modern CNC machining technology is significantly different in many aspects, such as machining technology, machining process control, and machining equipment and process equipment. The following will bring you the characteristics of multi-axis CNC machining.

What are the features of multi-axis machining centers?

     1. Reduce datum conversion and improve machining accuracy

The process integration of multi-axis CNC machining not only improves the effectiveness of the process, but also makes it easier to ensure machining accuracy because the parts only need to be clamped once during the entire machining process.

     2. Reduce the number of fixtures and floor space

Due to the shortened process chain and the reduction of the number of equipment in the multi-axis CNC machining center, the number of fixtures, workshop floor space and equipment maintenance costs are also reduced.

     3. Shorten the production process chain and simplify production management

The complete machining of the multi-axis CNC center greatly shortens the production process chain, and because only one job is assigned to the machining task, it not only simplifies production management and planning and scheduling, but also significantly improves transparency. The more complex the workpiece, the more obvious its advantages over traditional production methods with decentralized processes. 

At the same time, due to the shortening of the production process chain, the number of products in process will inevitably decrease, which can simplify the production management, thereby reducing the cost of production operation and management.

     4. Shorten the development cycle of new products

For enterprises in the furniture field, the shapes of different solid wood special-shaped parts and forming molds are very complex, and the precision requirements are also very high. Therefore, multi-axis CNC machining centers with high flexibility, high precision, high integration and complete processing capabilities can be very It can well solve the problems of precision and cycle of complex parts processing, greatly shorten the development cycle and improve the success rate of new products.

In conclusion

Using the five-axis linkage machine tool to process the mold can quickly complete the mold processing, fast delivery, better guarantee the processing quality of the mold, make the mold processing easier, and make the mold modification easier.

In traditional mold processing, vertical machining centers are generally used to complete the milling of workpieces. With the continuous development of mold manufacturing technology, some weaknesses of the vertical machining center itself are becoming more and more obvious. 

Modern mold processing generally uses ball-end milling cutters. The benefits of ball-end milling cutters in mold processing are very obvious, but if a vertical machining center is used, the linear velocity of the bottom surface is zero, so the finish of the bottom surface is very poor. If the four- and five-axis linkage machining technology is used to process the mold, the above shortcomings can be overcome.
