5 Axis CNC Machining

Sanwo precision 5-Axis CNC Machining

At Sanwo, we have multi-Axis CNC machines including the 5-Axis CNC machines, 5-Axis CNC machining is a very important additional process to CNC machining, it is the latest technologies and modern manufacturing methods able to move the tool or work Parts on five axes at once to get a precision and smooth surface product. For 5-Axis CNC machining, the cutting tool moves across the X, Y, and Z linear axes just like the 3-axis CNC machining, beyond that, it also rotates on the A and B axes to get approach the work parts from all directions. As a result, 5-Axis CNC can machine from five sides with one setup.

What is the advantages of Precision 5-Axis CNC Machining

As 5-axis technology develops, the process is becoming easier to programming and navigate . it is safe and easy to operate because all of the complexities have been built into the machine.By adding an axis of rotation around the X and Y linear axes, 3+2-Axis CNC Machining is the most time consuming and tight tolerance  precision machining process for CNC machining. It is advantages on producing complex parts and strict manufacture requirements,

Time consuming

The 5-Axis machining equipment were developed to allow the milling, cutting, turning, boring, threading and tapping processes to be automated in one machine at once and taking the advantages of rotating two more axes upon X,Y and Z planes. These two more axes approach the workpiece from any direction enabling the undercutting or complex geometries and surfaces to be make without any re-positioned, in which parts can be produce quickly and efficiently in high precision.

Tight tolerance

Unlike 3-Axis machining for complex parts which needs to be re-positioned and remove workpiece from machine, 5-Axis machining completes the parts in a single set up, and reduce the tolerance missing during part re-positioned. With the best technological program and high precision tools, 5 Axis CNC machining is an ideal process for high precision parts in tight tolerance.
