5 axis CNC Machining:Discuss the Future Development Direction of 5 axis CNC Machining Center

The 5 axis CNC machining center produces chips by moving the tool along five different axes at the same time. The tool cuts along the linear X, Y, and Z axes and two of the three A, B, and C rotation axes.

The advantages of 5 axis CNC machining are numerous. Components can usually be completed in one setup, reducing delivery time and cost, while improving accuracy. Some parts contain complex and curved surfaces that cannot be processed in other ways.

If there are any shortcomings of 5 axis CNC machining, it is that its initial cost is very high. A simultaneous five-axis CNC milling machining center can easily require ten times the investment of a comparable three-axis machine tool. The programming of 5 axis CNC machining is also more complicated and requires considerable knowledge and experience.

VMT has invested in 12 five-axis machining centers, which is amazing for a company with less than 100 employees. All equipment is equipped with multiple pallets and pallet switches to enable unattended and light-off production. Nine of the 12 machines also use the same type of controller and programming language. This makes it easier to move parts from one machine to another, providing surge capabilities and backup options in the event of equipment failure.

Compass has also invested the required human resources to make full use of the benefits provided by 5 axis CNC machining. We only hire the best, most capable and experienced 5 axis CNC machining programmers and operators. We continue to provide training for existing employees. In addition, we also distinguish ourselves by letting our 5 axis CNC machining operators program themselves. This eliminates manual issues between programming and operation, while ensuring that the final result is the intent of the drawing or model.

5 axis CNC machining technology is a typical multi-axis machining technology. Five-axis turning and milling center is the carrier of five-axis turning and milling technology. A general term for machine tools equipped with an automatic tool change system with two linear feed axes and two circumferential feed axes.

The five-axis turning-milling composite machining center is developed on the basis of a three-axis CNC machining and turning center, which is equivalent to a combination of a CNC machining and turning center and a CNC machining center. It is a five-axis developed in the 1990s CNC machining technology is an advanced machining technology that integrates modern advanced control technology, precision measurement technology and CAD/CAM application technology on the basis of traditional mechanical design technology and precision manufacturing technology.

The advanced nature of 5 axis CNC machining is reflected in its design concept. In the usual mechanical processing concept, the processing of a part can range from one or two processes to hundreds of processes. It needs to be processed by multiple equipment, and tools and fixtures must be prepared. For complex CNC machining parts, it takes three to five months to prepare a set of tooling. Even if economic costs are not considered, three to five months are likely to miss many commodity opportunities and strategic opportunities.

VMT CNC machining is based on the company's main products of rotary center, screw, shaft machining, CNC lathe machining, tool holder and chuck adapter! In mass production industries such as automobiles and home appliances, in order to improve efficiency and automation, automated production lines are widely used. The huge logistics system constitutes a very important part of the automatic line.

At the same time, it is a part that takes up money and land, and is also a part with frequent failures. For the CNC machining of complex shapes, logistics is a big problem. The multiple clamping and benchmark conversion of 5 axis CNC machining parts sometimes bring unnecessary processes and also cause the loss of machining accuracy of the parts.

The 5 axis CNC machining center solves this problem from the concept of design. It completes all or most of the processes in the CNC machining range in one clamping, and realizes the leap from compound machining to complete CNC machining.

The advanced concept of 5 axis CNC machining technology is to improve product quality and shorten product manufacturing cycle. Therefore, this technology has advantages in military, aerospace, aerospace, shipbuilding and some civilian industrial fields, especially in the aerospace field, some special-shaped CNC machining parts with complex shapes are more advantageous, so foreign countries have long been used in the aerospace field.

This kind of equipment replaces the traditional CNC machining equipment, and the domestic is relatively backward in this respect, so it is necessary to learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries, and strive to change the backward situation in the application of 5 axis CNC machining technology.
