What is 5-Axis CNC Machining?

5-axis CNC machining is an advanced manufacturing process that moves cutting tools along five different axes simultaneously, enabling the creation of highly complex, precision parts in a single setup.

5-Axis Precision Machined Parts

Advanced Multi-Axis Manufacturing

Unlike traditional 3-axis machining that operates along X, Y, and Z axes, 5-axis machining adds two rotational axes (A and B), allowing the cutting tool to approach the workpiece from virtually any angle. This revolutionary capability enables:

  •   Complex geometries with undercuts and deep cavities
  •   Single-setup machining reducing errors and setup time
  •   Superior surface finishes with optimal tool angles
  •   Shorter cutting tools for enhanced precision and stability

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our 5-axis CNC machining services

What are the advantages of 5-axis machining over 3-axis machining?

5-axis machining offers several key advantages: ability to machine complex geometries in a single setup, superior surface finishes, tighter tolerances, shorter cutting tools for better stability, and elimination of multiple setups reducing errors and production time. It’s ideal for parts with undercuts, deep cavities, and compound angles.

What tolerances can you achieve with 5-axis machining?

Our 5-axis machining capabilities can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.005mm (±0.0002″) for critical dimensions. Standard tolerances range from ±0.02mm to ±0.05mm depending on part geometry and material. We maintain strict quality control with advanced metrology equipment to ensure consistent accuracy.

Which materials are best suited for 5-axis machining?

5-axis machining excels with both metals and plastics. Common materials include aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, Inconel, tool steels for metals, and PEEK, Delrin, HDPE, nylon for plastics. The multi-axis capability is particularly beneficial for difficult-to-machine materials like titanium and Inconel where optimal tool angles improve cutting efficiency.

What types of parts are ideal for 5-axis machining?

Parts with complex geometries, undercuts, angled features, deep pockets, curved surfaces, and multiple machining angles are ideal for 5-axis machining. Examples include turbine blades, medical implants, aerospace brackets, mold cores, impellers, and any component requiring machining from multiple angles with tight tolerances.

How do you ensure quality in 5-axis machining projects?

We maintain ISO 9001 certified quality systems with advanced metrology equipment including CMM machines, laser scanners, and precision measuring tools. Every part undergoes thorough inspection with detailed quality reports. Our experienced technicians follow strict protocols for setup, programming, and production to ensure consistent results meeting your exact specifications.
