Five-axis machining technology in precision machining has been the demand of the public in the industrial field, can practice high-end CNC machine tools and mold key equipment. The quality level of mold products is largely affected by the numerical control equipment. In the fierce market competition environment, the manufacturing industry is facing the challenge of seeking shorter production cycle, higher processing quality, faster product modification processing ability, and lower manufacturing cost. Therefore, the five-axis processing technology has attracted much attention. This article will discuss the principle and scope of application of five-axis machining technology with you in depth, and help you understand more easily how to import five-axis machining technology and bring transformation opportunities for enterprises.

Five-axis machining is the 1 advanced CNC machine tool processing technology, which can simultaneously control the movement of the workpiece on the X, Y, Z 3 linear axes and the two rotation axes A and B. The high degree of flexibility and precision of this technology allows us to implement the production of parts with high complexity and stringent requirements for precision.

When cutting metal, the huge cutting and friction will make the workpiece move, so you need "an axis" to fix the workpiece. The common three-axis machine tool has only 3 linear movement degrees of freedom, which can handle the structure along the direction of the tool axis, but cannot handle the side structure characteristics. Five-axis machining is the use of at least 5 coordinate axes (X, Y, Z, A, B, 3 linear coordinates and two rotating coordinates) under the coordinated control of the computer numerical control system, so that each axis has an independent controller and motor drive system can carry out synchronous motion machining.
