1. Better surface finish of workpieces
The five axis function in contour geometry can improve the surface smoothness of workpieces. When using three-axis machine tools for machining, longer delivery times are required because they require very little cutting to generate the same surface finish that can be provided on five axis machine tools. Five axis machining makes parts closer to cutting things. Then there were fewer oscillations, and the surface smoothness of the workpiece was improved as a result.
2. Improve accuracy and tool life
Five axis machining improves accuracy by reducing settings. More settings mean more potential error space. Some assignments can even be completed in one setting, greatly reducing the risk of errors. Meanwhile, using shorter cutting tools can extend their lifespan. A five axis CNC Machining machine can bring the machine head closer to the cutting surface. This promises to use higher cutting speeds and extend tool life as oscillation decreases.
3. Save money
Five axis machining with one-time clamping can save users time, so five axis machines can also directly save money. Improving tool lifespan means less demand for tools, and improving accuracy means reducing the risk of costly errors. There are many other ways for five axis machine tools to save you costs, including reducing footprint, improving flexibility and spindle utilization, reducing the need for expensive fixtures, and lowering inventory investment.
The five axis machining machine tool is an expensive equipment technology investment, but the reduction in total expenditure combined with other advantages makes it a wise choice for many manufacturers.
