What is CNC 5 axis machining of aluminum parts?
CNC 5 axis machining aluminum parts offers numerous advantages, including the ability to manufacture complex geometries, improved precision and accuracy, reduced setups and lead time, enhanced surface finish, improved tool life and efficiency, and increased design flexibility. This advanced machining technique is widely used in industries that demand high-quality, intricate aluminum components.
What is 5-Axis machine?
5-axis machining provides infinite possibilities as to the part sizes and shapes you can effectively process. The term “5-axis” refers to the number of directions in which the cutting tool can move. On a 5-axis machining center, the cutting tool moves across the X, Y and Z linear axes as well as rotates on the A and B axes to approach the workpiece from any direction. In other words, you can process five sides of a part in a single setup. 5-axis machining is a complicated but enabling technology. Some machines are purpose-built for the task and take on a continuous CNC approach. This involves continuously adjusting the cutting tool on all 5 axes to keep the bit optimally perpendicular to the cutting surface.
