Abstract

5 axis machining means that the CNC machine is able to fully rotate around an item as it is being manufactured, granting better access from all directions. To do this they use 5 axes at the same time. The X and Y axis move in two directions while the Z axis tool is able to move up and down, then there are two extra (A and B) rotational axes that allow the cutting tool to access the part being tooled from all sides. While that all sounds very complicated and almost impossible, the process is programmed and undertaken by skilled and trained technicians. The computers that run these 5 axis machining systems are easily programmed and are built with the ability that they can be upgraded as new technologies and operating systems become available. This 5 axis machining is a fantastic way to speed up production runs, as well as producing better quality and higher accuracy items within those runs.
