What is 5 axis CNC machining?

The term 5 axis CNC refers to the number of directions in which the cutting tool can move. On a 5 axis CNC router machine,  the cutting tool moves across the X, Y and Z linear axes as well as rotates on the A and B axes to approach the material from any direction. In other words, you can process five sides of a part in a single setup.

What are the benefits of 5 axis CNC?

The main benefit is the ability to manufacture more complex products from a single set up. This helps you save time in both the set up & the completion of the process. Saving time means lower costs, and should also mean reduced environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

Shortened lead times support efficient ‘just in time’ manufacturing.

A 5 axis CNC router can also offer greater accuracy with a reduced chance of the part failing due to it being moved across multiple workstations or undergoing multiple processes.

Five axis CNC routing or milling will help achieve a superior surface finishes and overall better quality.
