What is 5 Axis CNC Machining?

5 Axis CNC Machining is a high-end precision machining technology that can simultaneously control the movement of five axes during machining. This technology allows for one-time efficient machining of workpieces with complex geometries, especially for parts with complex curved surfaces and multi-angle features. Compared with traditional three-axis machining, five-axis machining can avoid multiple clampings and improve machining efficiency and precision. MINGNON has a professional Evermi five-axis five-link 850 machine, which performs particularly well in machining complex parts. Its high speed and high precision make it an ideal choice for precision manufacturing.

Features of 5 Axis CNC Machining

The core advantages of five-axis machining are flexibility and high precision. Its unique five motion axes (X, Y, Z axes plus rotating A and C axes) enable the equipment to process workpieces at any angle without frequent adjustments to the fixture position, thereby reducing errors. In addition, five-axis machining supports a variety of materials, including aluminum, titanium, stainless steel and high-performance plastics, which are suitable for multi-field needs. The highlight of the Evermi five-axis five-link 850 machine is its excellent motion control capability, which can achieve a machining accuracy of ±0.001mm, while having high-speed machining capabilities, significantly shortening the machining cycle.

Functions and Applications

The main function of five-axis machining is to achieve precise manufacturing of complex geometric shapes, especially in the fields of aerospace, automobiles, medical, mold manufacturing and high-end consumer products. For example, in the aerospace industry, it can be used to process high-precision parts such as turbine blades and wings; in the automotive field, it can produce complex structural parts such as engine parts and molds; in the medical field, it is used to manufacture orthopedic implants and surgical tools; in the mold manufacturing field, five-axis machining is used to achieve efficient manufacturing of complex curved surface molds. In addition, five-axis machining is also widely used in the field of jewelry and luxury goods, providing excellent process support for high-end products.

How to maintain and maintain

In order to ensure the performance and life of five-axis CNC equipment, regular maintenance is essential. The machine tool should be kept clean, especially the chip cleaning after processing to prevent affecting the running accuracy. Regularly check the lubrication system of the equipment to ensure that the bearings and guides are fully lubricated, and monitor the status of the coolant to avoid excessive use and reduce the cooling effect. In addition, the motion axis of the machine tool needs to be calibrated regularly to maintain the processing accuracy. For the Evermi five-axis five-link 850 machine, it is recommended to perform a comprehensive overhaul every 1000 hours and perform regular maintenance according to the equipment manual.
