Which CNC Parts are Suitable for 5-Axis CNC Machining?

In traditional CNC machining, three-axis machining centers and vertical machining centers are often used to complete the milling of workpieces. With the development of manufacturing and processing technology, the advantages of the ball end milling cutter commonly used in traditional CNC machining are obvious, but if vertical machining is used, the linear speed of the bottom surface of the machining center is zero, and the machining accuracy is also very poor. In this way, the drawbacks of traditional CNC machining are gradually exposed. 5-axis CNC machining can machine different sides of the workpiece without changing the position of the workpiece on the machine tool, thereby greatly improving the machining efficiency of prismatic parts

Case Type Parts

The 5-axis CNC machining center for drone parts can process box-shaped parts. Box-type parts mainly process some multi-station holes and planes. Box-shaped parts that require higher machining accuracy, especially box-shaped parts that require higher shape machining accuracy. Under normal circumstances, multi-process processing such as milling, drilling, expanding, boring, twisting, and tapping requires the use of various tools, and there are many tools used. Box-shaped parts are processed on ordinary machine tools. The difficulty is relatively large, requiring multiple clamping and alignment, and the machining accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Generally, it is more suitable to use a horizontal machining center to process box parts, but a 5-axis CNC machining center can also be processed.

Complex Surface Parts

Complex surface parts often appear in the fields of machinery, aviation, aerospace, etc. It is difficult or even impossible to complete complex surface parts with ordinary CNC machine tools. Common complex surfaces include: impellers, spherical surfaces, blades on turbine engines, molds of various surfaces, marine propellers, propellers of underwater vehicles, and some other freely combined surfaces. Parts with these complex surface types are best machined with 5-axis machining centers. Using a 5-axis CNC machining center to process complex surface parts requires a lot of programming work, and automatic programming technology is used to program complex surface parts.

Special-shaped parts

Special-shaped parts refer to irregular parts, such as workpieces with mixed points, lines and surfaces. Under normal circumstances, the rigidity of special-shaped parts is relatively poor, it is difficult or even impossible to use ordinary CNC machine tools, the clamping pressure is difficult to control during the processing, and the processing accuracy is difficult to guarantee. However, using a 5-axis CNC machining center is different. The reasonable process measures of the 5-axis CNC machining center are adopted, and the multi-process or full-process processing is completed by using the multi-station point, line and surface mixed processing characteristics of the 5-axis CNC machining center.

Disc Parts

The 5-axis CNC machining technology of UAV parts is also particularly suitable for machining plates and plate parts with keyways, or radial holes, or end-face distribution holes, such as flange bushings, shaft parts with keyways, and various machine motor covers. When applying 5-axis CNC machining technology to such parts, you can use a vertical machining center or a horizontal machining center, which needs to be determined according to the specific hole direction.

The hidden processing capability of the 5-axis CNC machining technology for UAV parts has caused a huge sensation in many industries. Many people have gradually verified this result through experiments on 5-axis CNC machining of aerospace parts. According to statistics, the 5-axis CNC machining of UAV parts is not only suitable for box parts, plate parts, special processing, but also especially suitable. It is suitable for the processing of special-shaped parts and complex surfaces.
