5 Axis Machining Services
For complex and time-sensitive machined parts, 5-axis CNC machines offer unparalleled flexibility and speed. DEYUCNC’s experienced team can help bring your ideas to life, from rapid prototypes to end-use parts for safety-critical applications. Our 4-axis, 5-axis milling capabilities enable us to provide precise parts with complex geometry.
Advantages of 5 Axis CNC Machining with DEYUCNC
- Workpieces are not moved through several workstations, they can be completed on the 5 Axis machine alone—finishing components with greater accuracy
- Less fixture preparation—saving time and money
- Single setup required for machining complex shapes—increasing productivity
- Can use shorter cutting tools—producing higher cutting speeds and fewer tool vibrations for higher precision
- Ability to achieve outstanding surface finishes—improving overall part quality
5-Axis Machining Applications
Understand the 5 Axis CNC Process
5-axis CNC machining is, as the name suggests, a form of CNC machining in which the cutting tool can move along five axes instead of the usual three.
So how does that work? Well, with a 3-axis CNC machine, the spindle moves up and down, side to side, back and forth. 5-axis machines, in addition to this 3-axis movement, have two further axes in play: either the table rocks side to side on two different axes or the spindle itself swivels on two axes.
It also reduces the number of setups needed: machinists don’t have to manually turn the workpiece over, because the cutting tool can simply reach more places. And this makes the entire machining process much, much faster.
Simultaneous 5 Axis CNC Machining or 3+2 Axis CNC Machining
5-axis CNC machines can differ from one another in another important way. Some 5-axis machines use what is known as “simultaneous” 5-axis CNC machining, while others employ a “3+2-axis” method.
Simultaneous 5-axis
Simultaneous (or continuous) 5-axis machining is a form of 5-axis cnc machining in which the machine can continually adjust movement on all five axes without pause. Simultaneous 5-axis CNC can be very fast, since there are no breaks between passes of the cutting tool.
3+2-axis
Another form of 5-axis machining is 3+2-axis, in which the machine can only move on the 4th and 5th axes (adjusting the angle of the cutting tool) when the cutting tool isn’t moving along the X, Y and Z axes. This form of 5-axis machining can be slower than simultaneous 5-axis CNC, but may result in more rigid parts and longer tool life.
Trunnion-Style or Swivel-Rotate-Style
5-axis CNC machines can have different configurations. All have spindles that travel along the X, Y and Z axes, but machines can add the two “extra” axes in different ways. Some machines combine features of both.
Trunnion-style 5 axis machine
A trunnion-style CNC machine is a kind of CNC mill with a moving table. That means the angle of the workpiece attached to the table can be adjusted, allowing the cutting tool to hit the material from different angles.
Swivel-rotate-style 5 axis machine
A swivel-rotate-style CNC machine is a kind of CNC mill with a rotating spindle. Adding a B-axis and C-axis to the spindle allows the cutting tool to hit the material from different angles, but in a different manner to a trunnion machin
