5-axis milling

5-axis milling has become a popular method of working within the metal fabrication industry and has many advantages. You can make changes quickly without having to affect the production. And remove the material with high precision and accuracy quickly. There are many benefits to 5-axis milling. We will now focus on the most important benefits.

Complex Shapes: Further movement creates milling angles or arcs that were previously only possible with many special fittings and additional installments.

Fewer Setups: Five-axis milling machines can mill every surface in one setup. You will need multiple configurations to mill complex geometry using manual rotating. 5-axis technology saves time and allows you to reach the highest level of productivity.

Higher Accuracy: Every time you take out a part of the machine or manually adjust the workpiece, you lose the exact alignment that will allow you to attain the highest quality. 5-axis Milling improves precision and accuracy.

Better Surface Finishing: A 5-axis milling machine uses the rotating fifth & fourth axes to position the component closer to the cutter. Due to this shorter cutting tool could be used. A more concise cutting tool is less likely to be affected by vibrations at higher speeds, which directly affects the surface finish. The milling tool can operate at faster speeds with fewer vibrations, which results in better surface finishes and overall higher quality.
