Why do CNC machines have multiple axes, and how does this affect your product development goals? Modern CNC milling and turning centers are marvels of accuracy and precision, routinely making prototypes and finished parts with micron tolerances. In this guide, we’ll discuss how CNC machines are able to make complex shapes using multiple axes of travel, how these directions are defined, and what that means for your product development goals. CNC machines are often refered to by the number of axes of motion t......

5-axis machining refers to the use of computer numerical control (CNC) to move tools or parts along five axes simultaneously. The cutting tool moves continuously along each axis so that the tool tip is always perpendicular to the part. This process allows you to process various complex parts. Advantages of 5-Axis CNC Machining ......

When CNC processes complex aviation parts, they have many changes. Therefore, it is meaningful to use 5 axes to process these parts. 5-axis CNC machining involves machine operation using high-precision CNC. This process can move tools and parts on up to 5 axes at the same time.The setting of the machine can realize complex geometric shapes. With the continuous development of aviation industry, parts can be continuously reconfigured and adjusted through 5-axis CNC machining. Generally, this robust process can bett......
