What is 5-axis CNC machining?
5-axis CNC machining is a subtractive machining process that uses a high-speed cutting tool similar to a drill to remove a block of material. Typical 3-axis CNC machines are limited to linear X, Y, and Z axes. However, 5-axis CNC machining introduces two additional axes; rotation on the X and Y axes (called the A and B axes). The new axes allow the cutting tool to access more areas of the workpiece at various angles.
5-axis CNC machining makes it possible to get parts “one time and done”, reducing setup and repositioning costs. Efficiency and accuracy are achieved through smart programming, which allows data paths to be tried out and tool paths to be refined before production.
When to Choose 5-Axis CNC Machining
5-axis CNC machining can be used when you need to manufacture complex, precise, and delicate parts. It is particularly useful in industries such as aerospace, medical, and automotive manufacturing. Consider using 5-axis CNC machining when your parts have the following features.
- Complex Geometry: When your design requires complex shapes that are difficult to achieve with traditional machining methods.
- High Precision: When you need parts with extremely tight tolerances and minimal errors.
- Multi-axis Motion: When your design involves curves, angles, or undercuts that require complex machining.
- Time Efficiency: When you want to speed up production without sacrificing quality.
- Reduced Labor: When you aim to minimize human intervention to increase efficiency and consistency.
- Specialized Industry: When your project belongs to industries such as aerospace, healthcare, or automotive manufacturing.
Five-axis CNC machining types
Xtmadeparts is committed to customer satisfaction, providing the expertise and equipment to meet many micromachining challenges. Our track record includes providing CNC services to successfully produce parts that are difficult for other shops to produce. And, we have a wide range of 5-axis CNC equipment and technology. Our engineering team can recommend the most appropriate 5-axis CNC machining service based on your budget.
Simultaneous 5-axis machining
Fast, efficient, continuous 5-axis CNC machining for improved transitions and surface quality. Here we use 5-axis machining centers that can continuously adjust the movements on all five axes without stopping. Our 5-axis CNC machining has intelligent functions that ensure efficient continuous processes and transitions.
3+2 Axis Machining
Leverage the best of 3+2 axis machining technology for your unique application. This process holds the part in a specific orientation to allow for the usual 3-axis machining processes. Our 3+2 axis machining uses shorter, stronger cutting tools to provide better dimensional stability for your parts. Get complex CNC machined parts with tight tolerances at lower cost and cycle time.
Trunnion-type machining centers
Feature a fixed table and a spindle that moves and rotates along two axes. This design allows complex parts to be machined from multiple angles in a single setup, making it very efficient for heavy or large workpieces due to the stable support of the table.
Rotary Machining
Also known as a table-table configuration, where the part is mounted on a rotating and tilting table while the spindle remains in a fixed position. This style is particularly advantageous for complex parts that require high precision because it allows for good access to a variety of part features and can efficiently process smaller, more delicate parts.
5 Axis CNC Machining Design Guidelines
Minimum Feature Size | Minimum feature size should be no less than 0.5 mm in width or depth to ensure structural integrity. |
Linear Dimension | Maintain a precision within ±0.005 mm for linear dimensions to ensure accuracy across the machined part. |
Hole Diameters (not reamed) | Holes can be machined with diameters starting from 1 mm up to 40 mm without reaming for precision sizing. |
Shaft Diameters | Shaft diameters should range from 2 mm to 300 mm, considering the tool accessibility and torque requirements. |
Threads and Tapped Holes | Threads from M2 to M24 can be machined. Ensure to provide adequate relief at the bottom of tapped holes. |
Text | Minimum text height of 1.5 mm with a depth of 0.5 mm for clarity after machining. |
