When complex machining or machining of complex multi-faceted parts is required, 5-axis linkage machining can generate powerful energy during the manufacturing process. This applies to all types of industries in manufacturing, including healthcare, optics, energy, aerospace, optoelectronics, automotive, electronics, communications, security, robotics, drones, general manufacturing, and more. 5-axis linkage machining is used for parts that require precise rotational machining, such as turbines and impellers, where the contour surface can transition more easily to produce the highest quality parts; This is a quality level that current 3-axis machining cannot achieve.
Here are some differences between 3-axis machining and 5-axis linkage machining: Traditional 3-axis machining systems may require multiple settings and additional preparation for complex parts. The 3-axis machining system moves on the X, Y, and Z axes, providing only lateral and longitudinal movement; However, 5-axis linkage machining adds rotation on the A and B axes, while providing motion across the X, Y, and Z axes. This allows machining parts from all different angles in a single setting. Other differences between 5-axis machining and 3-axis machining include:
a. The 5-axis linkage machining system can process complex shapes faster.
b. The final product has higher accuracy.
c. 5-axis linkage machining can easily process areas that are difficult to reach with 3-axis machining.
d. Can shorten production time and reduce turnover time.
e. Equipped with a high-capacity workbench, it can rotate faster and easily handle heavier components.
f. Create smoother and higher quality surface treatments.
