What are the benefits of parts processed by precision five-axis machining manufacturers?

Speaking of the characteristics of five-axis machine tools, Alloy Wiki will be compared with traditional three-axis machines. Three-axis machining equipment is more common in production, and there are several forms such as vertical, horizontal and gantry. Common processing methods include end milling cutter end edge processing and side edge processing. The profiling processing of ball-end knives, etc. Based on Alloy Wiki’s 10 years of machining experience, no matter which form or method has a common feature, the direction of the tool axis remains the same during the machining process, and the machine tool can only pass through the three linear axes of X, Y, and Z. Interpolation is used to realize the movement of the tool in the space Cartesian coordinate system. Therefore, when faced with the following products, the disadvantages of low efficiency, poor surface quality and even inability to process the three-axis machine tool are exposed.

Compared with three-axis CNC machining equipment, five-link CNC machine tools have the following advantages:

1. Maintain the best cutting condition of the tool and improve the cutting conditions

In the three-axis cutting mode, when the cutting tool moves to the tip or the edge of the workpiece, the cutting state gradually deteriorates. And to maintain the best cutting conditions here, you need to rotate the table. And if we want to completely machine an irregular plane, the precision five-axis machining manufacturer must rotate the worktable several times in different directions. It can be seen that the five-axis machine tool can also avoid the situation that the linear velocity of the center point of the ball end mill is 0, and obtain a better surface quality.

2. Precision five-axis machining manufacturers effectively avoid tool interference

For parts such as impellers, blades and blisks used in the aerospace field, the three-axis equipment cannot meet the process requirements due to interference. The five-axis machine tools of precision five-axis machining manufacturers can meet the requirements. At the same time, the five-axis machine tool can also use shorter tools for processing, which improves the rigidity of the system, reduces the number of tools, and avoids the production of special tools. For the owner of our precision five-axis machining manufacturer, it means that five-axis machine tools will save you money in terms of tool costs!

3. Reduce the number of clamping, and complete five-sided processing in one clamping

The five-axis machining center can also reduce benchmark conversion and improve machining accuracy. In the actual processing of precision five-axis processing manufacturers, only one clamping is required, and the processing accuracy is easier to be guaranteed. At the same time, due to the shortening of the process chain and the reduction in the number of equipment for the five-axis machining center, the number of fixtures, workshop area and equipment maintenance costs have also been reduced. This means that you can use fewer fixtures, less plant area and maintenance costs to complete more efficient and higher-quality processing!

4. Improve processing quality and efficiency

The five-axis machine tool can be cut by the side edge of the tool, and the processing efficiency is higher.

5. Shorten the production process chain and simplify production management

The complete machining of the five-axis CNC machine tool greatly shortens the production process chain and can simplify production management and planning and scheduling. The more complex the work piece, the more obvious its advantages over traditional production methods with dispersed processes.

6. Shorten the new product development cycle

For companies in the aerospace, automotive and other fields, some new product parts and molding molds have complex shapes and high precision requirements. Therefore, precision five-axis processing manufacturers have high flexibility, high precision, high integration and complete processing capabilities. The axis CNC machining center can well solve the accuracy and cycle problems of complex parts in the process of new product development, greatly shorten the development cycle and improve the success rate of new products.

In summary, the five-axis machine tool has too many advantages, but the tool attitude control, numerical control system, CAM programming and post-processing of the five-axis machine tool are much more complicated than the three-axis machine tool!
