What is 5 Axis Machining?

5 Axis machining refers to a machining process that utilizes a computer numerical control (CNC) system to control the movement of a cutting tool along five different directions.

Unlike traditional 3 Axis machining, which allows movement in three linear axes (X, Y, and Z), it adds two rotational axes (A and B/C) to achieve greater flexibility and precision.

How Does a 5 Axis CNC Machine Work?

1. Making a CAD of the part.

2. Translating the CAD into CAM that helps generate CNC alphanumeric language or G-Code.

3. Uploading the G-code into the 5 Axis CNC machine.

4. Mounting the workpiece on a rotary table or fixture that can rotate along the A and B/C axes.

5. Mounting the cutting tool on the machine’s spindle that can move along the X, Y, and Z axes while simultaneously rotating around the A and B/C axes.

This multi-axis movement enables the cutting tool to approach the workpiece from various angles, allowing for complex machining operations and the creation of intricate geometries.

5 Axis machining offers a host of advantages, including machine complex shapes, increased precision, versatility, reduced setup time, improved surface finish, and enhanced efficiency. While it comes with some drawbacks, the ability to machine complex parts with a single setup makes 5-Axis CNC machining an indispensable technology for industries seeking high-quality and intricate components.
