5 Axis 5 Sided Machining
Multi axis machines offer several improvements over other CNC tools at the cost of increased complexity.
Multiple machine tools has the disadvantage of having the operator time involved in moving the work-piece from machine to machine, and starting and stopping operations.
Multi axis machines adds a rotational axis, known as the “W” axis, to increase machine accuracy and reduce costs.
A CNC milling machine alone to make a 5 face shaped piece would require to cut the vertical and horizontal sides and then cutting the angled sides by a 45 degree angle, this requires eight machining passes.
A CNC rotary table rotating the part in 45 degree increments for each horizontal or vertical pass, positioning the cutter in X or Y one time while.
Advantages of Multi-axis machine:
*Better surface finish with the tool move tangentially on the surface.
*Ability to manufacture more complex parts, particularly with curved holes.
*Significant productivity gains
*Reduced cycle times for up to 25 percents.
*Fast tool-path programming, especially re-machining tool-paths, without needing to recalculate from sketch.
*Fewer Fixtures and Tools
*Improved Usage of Floor Space
*Increased Spindle Usage
*Human labor cost reduction for work pieces that would have to be turned manually during machining.
In view of the high cost of Multi axis machines, we are offering cost effective option, the Tilting Rotary Table.
Our tilting rotary table is for adding to a 3-axis machining center to achieve 5-axis capabilities as an economical solution for advancement to latest technology, a requirement to stay on top and compete effectively.
Most importantly, every shop has work that would benefit from 5-sided machining, it will be more profitable to apply 5-sided machining.
