1、The meaning of five axes

  Five-axis CNC refers to a CNC machine tool equipped with five independent motion axes. This kind of machine tool can perform precise cutting and processing operations in multiple directions through linked motion during the processing process. Compared with the traditional three-axis CNC CNC machine tool, it has higher processing capabilities and flexibility. Its five axes usually include X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis and two rotation axes, usually A-axis and C-axis. Through the linked motion of these five axes, the workpiece can be cut and processed at multiple angles and directions.

2、Five-axis CNC general process

As an advanced CNC machining technology, it can perform cutting and processing operations in multiple directions to achieve high-precision machining of complex parts. The following is the general process of five-axis CNC machining:

（1）Design and Modeling: First, a three-dimensional model of the part is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This model will form the basis for subsequent machining operations.

（2）Tool path planning: Use auxiliary manufacturing (CAM) software to plan the tool path based on the geometry and processing requirements of the part. Tool path planning considers the computer's cutting operation sequence, tool selection, cutting speed and other factors to maximize machining efficiency and quality.

（3）Clamping the workpiece: Install the workpiece to be processed on the workbench of the five-axis CNC machine tool, and clamp and fix it to ensure the stability and accurate position of the workpiece.

（4）Processing preset: Set the processing parameters of the five-axis CNC machine tool according to the planned tool path. This includes cutting speed, feed rate, tool RPM, etc. to ensure proper cutting conditions.  

（5)Processing operation: Start the five-axis CNC machine tool, and the tool performs cutting and processing operations according to the pre-planned path. The five axes (X, Y, Z, A, C) of the five-axis CNC machine tool enable the tool to move and rotate in multiple directions through linked motion to achieve the processing of complex shapes.

（6)Tool replacement and adjustment: Depending on the needs of the machining task, it may be necessary to replace tools of different types or specifications. When changing tools, the position and direction of the tools need to be carefully adjusted and calibrated to ensure machining accuracy and consistency.

（7)Inspection and quality control: After processing is completed, quality control and verification are carried out by measuring and inspecting the dimensions, surface quality and other characteristics of the workpiece. If necessary, necessary adjustments and corrections can be made.

The key to five-axis CNC machining technology lies in tool path planning and five-axis linkage control. It can achieve complex shapes, high precision and high efficiency processing, and is widely used in manufacturing fields that require precision parts.

3、 Main advantages of five-axis CNC

 (1) Complex shape processing capabilities: Five-axis CNC can cut at multiple angles and directions, and can handle workpieces such as complex curved surfaces, spiral shapes and three-dimensional structures that are difficult to process with traditional methods.

(2) High-precision machining: Through the linkage movement of five axes, high-precision machining of the workpiece can be achieved, providing better processing quality and accuracy.

Reduce process steps and clamping times: Five-axis CNC can complete multiple processing operations in a single clamping, reducing the need for workpiece re-clamping and adjustment and improving processing efficiency.

(3) Improve production efficiency: Five-axis CNC can perform multiple processing operations at the same time, reducing processing time and improving production efficiency.

(4) Wider application scope: Five-axis CNC is widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, mold manufacturing, medical equipment and other fields, and can process complex parts and workpieces.

(The operation of the 5-axis CNC is relatively complex and requires a control system that can realize the linked motion of the five axes. At the same time, the investment and maintenance costs of the five-axis CNC are high, and it is suitable for application scenarios that require high processing accuracy and complexity.

4、Application examples
