CNC 5-axis machining refers to an advanced manufacturing technology that, on the basis of the traditional three-dimensional linear motion coordinates (X, Y, Z), adds two rotational motion coordinates (two of A, B, and C), enabling the tool to process from any direction of the workpiece.
1.Five axes: three linear axes (X, Y, Z) + two rotational axes.
2.Common combinations of rotating shafts:
In simple terms, it is an "all-powerful engraver". The tool can approach any surface of the workpiece without the need for multiple re-clamping as in a three-axis machine tool.
| Working Principle | Advantage | Disadvantage | |
| Table-Table | Both rotating axes (such as the A-axis and the C-axis) are on the worktable, driving the workpiece to rotate and tilt. | The structure is relatively simple, with strong load-bearing capacity, and is suitable for processing small and medium-sized boxes, impellers and other parts. | The worktable has a limited load-bearing capacity, and its rotation range may be interfered with by the workpiece. |
| Head-Head | Both rotating shafts are on the spindle head, driving the tool to swing and rotate. The workbench is fixed. | It is suitable for processing large and heavy workpieces (such as molds), with the workpieces remaining stationary. | The spindle head has a complex structure, high manufacturing cost and may have slightly weaker rigidity. |
| One Swing Table and One Swing Head (hybrid type) | One rotating axis is on the worktable (such as the C-axis), and the other is on the spindle head (such as the B-axis). | It takes into account both flexibility and a certain load-bearing capacity, and is widely applied. | Programming and post-processing are relatively complex. |
The core value of 5-axis machining is far more than just "five surfaces in one clamping". Its core advantages are reflected in:
1.One clamping, complete the processing of complex geometric shapes:
·This is the most intuitive advantage. There is no need for multiple re-clamping, which avoids repeated positioning errors and ensures extremely high overall accuracy. This is the only option for complex parts such as aircraft skins, impellers, turbines, and medical devices.
2.Improve processing quality and surface finish:
·By rotating the axis, the side edge of the tool can be used for cutting (side milling), rather than always using the point at the bottom of the tool for cutting (point milling). Side milling has a higher chip removal rate, more uniform force distribution on the tool, and can achieve better surface quality.
3.Significantly reduce tool length and enhance processing stability:
·By adjusting the Angle of the workpiece, the tool can approach the processing area with the shortest overhang length. The shorter the cutting tool, the stronger its rigidity and the less vibration it generates, thus enabling greater cutting parameters, higher machining accuracy and longer tool life.
4.Achieve efficient cutting:
·By maintaining the optimal cutting Angle between the tool and the workpiece, a greater material removal rate (MRR) can be achieved. For instance, when processing deep cavities, by tilting the workpiece, a shorter ball cutter can be used instead of a long-edge tool for efficient cutting.
