How does 5-Axis Machining Work?

5-axis machining uses simultaneous movement along five axes—three linear (X, Y, Z) and two rotational (A, B)—to precisely machine complex geometries and intricate details. This approach reduces setup time, enhances precision, and improves surface finish, making it ideal for high-tolerance and detailed components.

Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining vs 3+2 Axis CNC Machining

5-Axis Machining

Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining

Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining involves the simultaneous movement of all five axes (three linear and two rotational) to cut intricate and complex geometries in a single setup, resulting in high precision and smooth surface finishes. This method is ideal for producing parts with intricate contours and complex shapes, as it allows for continuous toolpath adjustments and improved cutting dynamics.

3+2 Axis Machining

3+2 Axis CNC Machining

3+2 Axis CNC Machining, on the other hand, uses three linear axes for cutting while the two rotational axes are fixed at specific angles during machining. This method offers excellent flexibility and precision for machining multiple sides of a part without repositioning, making it suitable for less complex geometries and batch production where simultaneous 5-axis movement is not required.
