What is 5-Axis CNC Machining?
5-axis CNC machining represents the pinnacle of precision manufacturing technology, enabling cutting tools to move simultaneously across five different axes (X, Y, Z linear axes plus two rotational axes A and C). This advanced manufacturing process revolutionizes the production of complex, high-precision components by allowing access to virtually any angle of the workpiece in a single setup.
Advanced Multi-Axis Capabilities
Unlike traditional 3-axis machining that operates only along linear X, Y, and Z axes, 5-axis CNC machining adds two rotational axes, typically designated as A-axis (rotation around X) and C-axis (rotation around Z). This configuration enables the cutting tool to approach the workpiece from virtually any angle, making it possible to machine complex geometries, undercuts, and intricate features that would be impossible or require multiple setups with conventional machining methods.
Simultaneous 5-Axis Movement
All five axes move simultaneously during cutting operations, enabling complex surface machining and superior surface finishes.
Complex Geometry Manufacturing
Machine intricate shapes, deep cavities, and undercuts that are impossible with traditional 3-axis equipment.
Reduced Setup Time
