5-axis CNC machining

In recent years, 5-axis CNC CNC machining centers have been widely used in various fields. Whenever people encounter special-shaped complex parts, five-axis linkage technology is undoubtedly an important means to solve such problems. More and more manufacturers tend to look for 5-axis processing equipment to meet high-quality processing. Do you really understand CNC 5-axis machining?

5-axis machining

  To truly understand Wanfuxin CNC 5-axis machining, first, what we have to do is to understand what a 5-axis CNC machine tool is. Five-axis CNC machining machine (5Axis Machining), as the name suggests, refers to the addition of two rotary axes to the three common linear axes of X, Y, and Z. The two rotating shafts of the A, B, and C three axes have different motion modes to meet the technical requirements of various products. To sum up, there are various types of five-axis CNC machining machines on the market. Although their mechanical structures are in various forms, there are mainly the following forms:

Two rotating coordinates directly control the direction of the tool axis (double swing head form)

The two coordinate axes are at the top of the tool,

But the rotation axis is not perpendicular to the linear axis (pitch type swing head type)

Two rotating coordinates directly control the rotation of the space (double turntable form)

The two coordinate axes are on the worktable,

But the rotation axis is not perpendicular to the linear axis (pitch type table)

Two rotating coordinates act on the tool,

One acts on the workpiece (one swing and one turn)

Having seen these five-axis CNC machining machines, I believe we should understand what and how the five-axis CNC machining machines move. However, with such a diversified machine tool structure, what characteristics can it exhibit during machining? Compared with traditional three-axis machine tools, what are the advantages? Next, let us take a look at the luminous points of CNC 5-axis machining.

Features of CNC 5-axis machining machine

Speaking of the characteristics of CNC 5-axis machining tools, it is necessary to compare with traditional three-axis equipment. Three-axis processing equipment is more common in production, and there are several forms such as vertical, horizontal and gantry. Common processing methods include end milling cutter end edge processing and side edge processing. Profiling processing of ball-end knives, etc. But no matter which form and method have a common feature, that is, the direction of the tool axis remains unchanged during the machining process, and the machine tool can only realize the tool's rectangular coordinates in space through the interpolation of the three linear axes of X, Y, and Z. Department of sports. Therefore, when facing the following products, the disadvantages of low efficiency, poor surface quality and even inability to process the three-axis machine tool are exposed.

Compared with three-axis CNC machining equipment, Wanfuxin's 5-axis machining machine has the following advantages:

1. Maintain the best cutting condition of the tool and improve the cutting conditions

2. Effectively avoid tool interference

3. Reduce the number of clamping and complete five-sided processing in one clamping

4. Improve processing quality and efficiency

5. Shorten the production process chain and simplify production management

6. Shorten the new product development cycle
