What is 5 Axis CNC Machining

5 Axis CNC Machining is a breakthrough in the world of manufacturing technology. It is an advanced approach to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, where a machine operates on five different axes simultaneously. The ‘5 Axis’ in 5 axis CNC machining represents the three linear axes (X, Y, and Z) and two rotational axes (A and B or C), which allows the cutting tool to move across five different planes.

So, what is 5 axis machining specifically? It is a method where the workpiece does not need to be manually repositioned between operations, which not only maintains consistent accuracy but also saves significant amounts of time. This means that 5 axis CNC machining services, like in Suproto, can produce high-quality, high-precision components with greater efficiency and speed.

Key Features of 5 Axis CNC Machining

Simplified Machining

Here’s something we can both agree on, the primary advantage of 5 axis CNC machining is its ability to easily handle complex parts. By rotating on five different axes simultaneously, these machines can reach every angle of the workpiece, making the machining process much simpler and more efficient.

Reduction in Setup Time

5 axis CNC machining drastically reduces the setup time by eliminating the need for multiple setups. As a result, this allows for faster production times and reduced labor costs. Additionally, with 5 axis machining, the cutting tool can access the part in five directions instead of three, which enables machining up to 5 faces in just one operation, saving time and money

Increased Tool Life

By constantly maintaining an optimal cutting position, 5 axis CNC machines reduce tool wear, thus increasing the life of the tool and reducing maintenance costs. This method also enables low cycle times by eliminating more material each time the tool passes, ensuring faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective results

Benefits of 5 Axis CNC Machining

Precision and Quality

One of the key benefits of 5 axis CNC machining services is the remarkable precision they offer. This technology enables the manufacturing of complex parts with high-quality finishes and tight tolerances. Aside from that, the added tilt and rotation capabilities of the 5th axis ensure that higher degrees of precision and repeatability are achieved.

Increased Productivity

At Suproto, we have proven that 5 axis CNC machining, by virtue of its single-setup nature, significantly increases productivity. It eliminates the need for multiple setups and rotations of the workpiece, resulting in a smoother, faster, and more efficient machining process.

Creation of Complex Parts

The 5-axis machining provides the ability to move the cutting tool or workpiece in five different directions, which is especially beneficial for manufacturing parts with intricate designs and geometries. The two additional axes (compared to the traditional 3-axis machining) add rotations around the X and Y axes. With the 5-axis machine’s capabilities, manufacturers can produce parts with highly complex shapes and features.

Types of 5 Axis CNC Machining

It is a process that significantly enhances the drilling capability by permitting the drill bit to approach the workpiece from any direction. One could imagine the task of drilling angled holes on a spherical surface and that would be a nightmare with conventional methods. But with 5 Axis drilling, it was as easy as pie, allowing the project to be completed in record time while maintaining a high degree of precision.
Deep hole drilling is another fascinating technique, a specialized form of drilling intended to create holes of great depth compared to their diameter. At Suproto, we always remember that it’s not just depth, it’s about achieving an exceptionally high depth-to-diameter ratio.
A technique that uses rotating tools to gradually remove material from a workpiece that is 5 Axis CNC Milling. It is particularly useful for complex geometries and parts with multiple faces. For example, during the production of an aerospace component, it was crucial to achieve a high degree of detail and precision. This was the moment when the flexibility of 5 Axis CNC milling really shone through.
5 Axis CNC routing is a machining process that involves the use of high-speed, computer-controlled cutting machines to carve, mill, and drill materials. For example, when tasked with carving an intricate 3D pattern into a solid wood panel, the 5 Axis CNC routing process made the task feasible and efficient. The process enabled the creation of detailed and precise cuts that would have been nearly impossible to achieve by hand.

Comparison of 5 Axis CNC Machining

3 Axis vs 5 Axis CNC
While 3 axis machines are suitable for parts that require a single flat surface, 5 axis CNC machines provide a comprehensive solution for complex parts that require precision machining on multiple faces. On a personal note, I’ve always found it fascinating to watch a 5 axis CNC machine at work, with the tool whirling around the workpiece in what seems like a perfectly choreographed dance, creating intricate designs with ease.
3 Axis vs 4 Axis CNC
While both 3 axis and 4 axis CNC machines offer a good degree of precision, neither can match the efficiency of a 5 axis CNC machine when it comes to machining complex geometries, we have seen it in Suproto. In comparison to 3 axis machining, 4 axis machining allows for additional rotary movement around one of the linear axes, usually the X-axis, moving in a more complex manner and creating features for X, Y, or Z axes.

6 Considerations When Choosing 5 Axis CNC Machining Services

#1 Practicality

The cost-effectiveness of 3-axis versus 5-axis machines is crucial. Depending on the product or component complexity, a 5-axis CNC machine could be more cost-effective. This decision should be based on the unique manufacturing requirements.

#2 Surface Finish Quality

5-axis machines are capable of producing higher quality finishes in complex shapes than 3-axis machines. If the product requires a high-quality finish, especially for complex geometries, a 5-axis CNC machining service is preferable.

#3 Machinable Area and Stiffness

One thing to take note of is that the limitation of 5-axis CNC machining centers is the trade-off between stiffness and the machinable area. When choosing a service, consider whether they have solved this problem, perhaps with the use of non-orthogonal axes.

#4 Machine Tool Structure

In addition to the trade-off between stiffness and machinable area, it is a need to consider the structure of the machine tool itself. Centers with non-orthogonal axes require a generalized form-shaping theory. Thus, if a service uses such machines, it should demonstrate proficiency in theory and its application.

#5 Material Capabilities

Depending on the materials used in the product, the chosen CNC service should have appropriate machining capabilities. I believe hard-to-cut materials require different settings and tooling compared to more ordinary materials.

#6 Software Technology

According to ScienceDirect, the programmers who plan the machining strategy need sophisticated technology, since both processes are very expensive. The machining industry must invest in machines and technology in order to stay competitive. The 5-axis CNC machining service should use advanced software to program and control machine toolpaths to ensure optimal results.
