Five axis linkage machining is a type of precision part machining. What are its characteristics? Let's take a look together below
A five axis machining center is a scientific, technologically advanced, and high-precision machining center specifically designed for processing complex surfaces. This machining center system is used for aviation, navigation, military, scientific research, and precision instruments in a country. The high-precision medical equipment industry has a significant impact.
1、 What is a five axis machining center
Five axis linkage machining has the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision. A workpiece fixture can complete complex machining. Can adapt to current mold processing such as automotive parts, aircraft structural components, etc. There is a significant difference between a five axis machining center and a five sided machining center. Many people are unaware of this and mistakenly mistake pentagonal machining centers for five axis linkage machining centers. A five axis machining center has five axes, X, Y, Z, A, and C. XYZ and AC axes form five axis machining. Proficient in spatial surface processing, contouring, hollowing out, stamping, oblique drilling, oblique cutting, etc. The "pentahedral machining center" is similar to a three-axis machining center, but it can simultaneously process five sides, but cannot perform special shapes such as punch holes, cutting slopes, etc.
In addition, five axis CNC machining centers have broad application prospects. As is well known, the current five axis CNC machining center system is the only means to solve machining problems such as impellers, blades, marine propellers, heavy-duty generator rotors, automotive engine wheels, and large diesel engine crankshafts.
2、 Advantages of Five Axis Machining Centers
1. Shorten processing time and improve processing accuracy.
The biggest feature of a five axis linkage machining center is that it can process five surfaces in one clamping. That is to say, the so-called processing angle should avoid concessions. If it is a linkage device, the C-axis can rotate infinitely, and the A-axis can rotate about 130 degrees. The characteristics of these devices make it impossible to interfere with processing.
The advantage of this method is that it can complete a clamping process, avoiding repeated positioning errors caused by multiple clamping. At the same time, clamping also saves a lot of time and improves work efficiency. It can reduce the time from product to delivery and decrease inventory.
2. Reduce costs such as equipment investment, workshop occupancy, and workshop quantity.
Regarding the compound machine five axis linkage machining center, it usually has turning function, which can be included from lathe to milling machine to vertical grinding. We all know that the current price of vertical grinding equipment is very expensive. Through accounting calculations such as cost and processing rhythm, the following conclusion can be drawn: it can be found that the five axis cost is relatively high. Previously, everyone's production and processing could be based on engineering segmentation, and the problem with this production mode was that there were many waiting times that could not be eliminated. However, engineering intensive production represented by five axis composite machining equipment only requires pre commissioning time. With the popularity of various simulation software in China, programming can be completed by simply importing blank data, greatly shortening the preparation work in the early stage. Therefore, currently, foreign gas accessories and high-end manufacturing mainly focus on five shafts
