How to highlight the advantages of five-axis CNC machining in small batch zero machining?

      In the CNC machining industry, CNC machining of batch parts can show processing advantages, one of which is efficiency. Because cnc processing batch parts first needs to save time, the efficiency can reduce a lot of costs, and the important thing is to save time. Usually, the efficiency of three-axis CNC machining of batch parts is relatively low, and it needs to be clamped and loaded several times. If the part has four sides, the entire workpiece needs to be machined on six sides and loaded and unloaded six times. The machining efficiency cannot be improved, clamping takes a lot of time, and assigning multi-faceted machining takes up more machines. If you encounter a side that is not easy to process, you need to make a fixture to match the processing, which is not ideal in terms of cost and efficiency.

      Five-axis simultaneous machining improves many problems. First of all, let’s talk about efficiency. Five-axis CNC machining and clamping does not require so much effort. It only needs one clamping to complete the processing of multiple surfaces, which improves efficiency, reduces the pressure of CNC on-site clamping, and reduces the amount of fixture processing. A lot of time cost. Usually, a three-axis machine tool needs six setups to complete the machining of the workpiece. Basically, a five-axis machine tool can complete the machining of the entire workpiece with only two clampings. Therefore, the efficiency of five-axis cnc machining has a great advantage, followed by quality. On the premise of ensuring efficiency, batch parts must first ensure quality.

       If there is a quality problem, the entire batch of workpieces will be repaired. Even the entire batch will be scrapped. Therefore, before improving efficiency, we must first ensure good quality. Due to the large number of clamping times, there will be some errors when machining the sides of multi-faceted batch parts with three-axis machining. On the one hand, it has nothing to do with the increase in cost, and there will be some defects in quality. However, in five-axis cnc machining, some complex flanks can provide a cutting environment for the tool according to the change of the workpiece angle. Since there is no need to disassemble the workpiece for calibration, the error when machining the sides is greatly reduced. In many complex structures that cannot be processed by three axes, five axes can also be processed according to changing angles, which also reduces the cost and ensures the quality of the workpiece.
