If you’re looking for precise, high-quality machining that meets your needs, you may have heard of 5-axis and 7-axis CNC machining. But what exactly is CNC machining, and what are the benefits of these advanced technologies?
At Longsheng, we provide CNC machining services for a wide range of industries and applications. Our expertise and professional equipment allow us to offer unmatched precision, speed, and customization. Here’s everything you need to know about CNC machining and how it can benefit your business.
What is CNC Machining?
CNC (computer numerical control) machining is a process that uses automated equipment and computer programs to create accurate and complex parts from raw materials. With advanced software and machinery, CNC machining can achieve a level of accuracy that traditional manual methods can’t match.
CNC machining involves several steps, including programming, setup, cutting, and finishing. The operator inputs the design into the computer program, which generates a code that controls the cutting tools. The raw material is loaded onto the machine, and the cutting tools remove material from the surface until the desired shape and dimensions are achieved.
What is 5-Axis CNC Machining?
5-axis CNC machining uses a machine with five axes of motion to create complex shapes and contours. The machine can move the cutting tool in five directions: X, Y, Z, and two additional rotary axes. This allows for more precise and flexible cuts, resulting in smoother surfaces and more intricate designs.
The benefits of 5-axis CNC machining include:
- More complex geometries: 5-axis machines can create complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible with traditional 3-axis machines.
- Greater precision: With five axes of motion, 5-axis machines can achieve tighter tolerances and more consistent results.
- Reduced setup time: 5-axis machines can complete multiple operations in a single setup, reducing production time and costs.
What is 7-Axis CNC Machining?
7-axis CNC machining takes 5-axis machining to the next level by adding two additional rotary axes. This allows for even greater flexibility and precision, and can create complex shapes and contours with a single setup.
The benefits of 7-axis CNC machining include:
- More precise and complex designs: 7-axis machines can create even more intricate shapes and contours than 5-axis machines.
- Reduced production time: With fewer setup changes and more efficient cutting, 7-axis machines can complete parts more quickly and with greater accuracy.
- Improved productivity: 7-axis machines can handle larger and more complex parts, allowing for greater production capabilities.
