What is a 5-axis CNC machining center? Is 5-axis CNC processing expensive?

Five-axis CNC machining center is a more popular processing equipment at this stage. It is also called the five-axis linkage machining center, is a kind of high science and technology content, high precision specially used for processing complex curved surface machining center, this machining center system for a country's aviation, aerospace, military, scientific research, precision instruments, high precision medical equipment and other industries have a pivotal influence.

CNC machining center has the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision, the workpiece can be completed in a single clamping complex processing. Can adapt to such as automotive parts, aircraft structural parts and other modern mold processing. There are X, Y, Z, A, C five axes, XYZ and AC axis to form a five-axis linkage processing, good at space surface processing, special processing, hollow processing, drilling, inclined hole, inclined cutting and so on.

Understand the structural advantages of the five-axis CNC machining center, then its price? How much is it? Is it expensive?

Five-axis CNC machining center with three axis and four axis machining center the biggest price difference lies in the dividing head. Three axis and four axis machining center in the same model and the same configuration of the conditions between tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of price difference. But the price difference between the five axis CNC machining center and the four axis machining center is very large, less is tens of thousands, more than hundreds of thousands, the price difference is very large. Why is that? Where are you?

Five axis and four axis there will be such a big price difference because the five axis machining center of the dividing head than the four axis machining center of the dividing head expensive, five axis CNC machining center of the dividing head to at least hundreds of thousands. There is a numerical control system, five axis machining center using the numerical control system with three axis and four axis machining center numerical control system is not the same. The system of the five-axis machining center must be equipped with the five-axis linkage function, and the five-axis CNC machining center programming and operation are more difficult, which requires the CNC system has a more powerful function to better programming and operation.

There are many factors affecting the price of CNC machining center, for example, positioning accuracy and repeated positioning accuracy is no doubt that the higher the better, and usually use five axis CNC machining center processing workpiece for accuracy requirements are relatively high, the higher the accuracy, no matter what kind of machining center is more expensive. Moreover, the knife library, the selection of the knife library with other processing centers, the knife arm knife library is more expensive than the hat knife library. Therefore, as a whole, five axis indexing head with five axis linkage function of the CNC system is much more expensive than the ordinary high-speed machining center.
