What is 5 Axis Machining? Definition & Breakdown

5 axis machining is a cutting process that uses five different axes to achieve the most efficient and precise cut possible. It allows you to create contoured parts with variable thicknesses in one run.

The five axes are typically labeled X, Y, Z, A, and B. The first three axes are the same as on a 3 axis milling machine, that is, they control direction perpendicular to each of the three planes of movement. A fourth axis allows for rotation along the Z-axis and completes the full 360-degree circle around this line.

The fifth axis moves at an angle to allow various levels of movement. It is typically angled about 45 degrees below the horizontal plane of control, but it can also be above or below the XY plane.

The 5 axis machining is ideal for cutting parts with complex geometries, that can’t be made on a standard milling machine. For example, you may wish to create components that require no assembly or cutting along non-linear paths. In such a case, five-axis machining is the best option.

5-axis is 5-sided, and it is the first method used for manufacturing complex parts. It gives you more control than 4-axis machining, allowing you to produce unusual shape machining, oblique cutting, hook surface machining, punching, and many other complex functionalities.

Benefits of 5 Axis Machining

5 Axis machining is used to produce high accuracy parts with complex geometry. Those parts are difficult or impossible to create by the traditional process because of the constrained workspace, for example, it is very hard to reach internal corners.

5 Axis machining has many advantages over other millings. They include:

  • High Efficiency. 5 Axis machining is a space-saving processing technology. It maximizes the use of available cutting volume. The machine can continue to make parts even if one or more axes are blocked by the workpiece. Thus, 5 axis machining allows you to work on complicated parts without spending time creating an optimal setup for each task.
  • Increased Versatility. 5 axis machining enables you to work with various materials, including aluminum, nickel alloys, and other harder metals. These types of parts aren’t suitable for traditional milling processes. Moreover, our team can add features such as pockets and holes without breaking the stream of contour cutting.
  • Increased Control. Freedom from adhering to a traditional workflow allows you to reduce the total cost of production. The power, speed, and other properties can also be adjusted by individual parameters without sacrificing quality or negatively impacting productivity.
  • A More Precise Alternative. You can achieve higher resolutions with 5 axis machining than with 3 axis machining. This is because there are no restrictions on angle and orientation.
  • High Output and Shortened Lead Time. 5 axis machining is extremely productive. It can produce parts in one set-up without having to reposition the workpiece. This type of manufacturing offers a shorter lead time than traditional milling methods because there’s no need for additional finishing operations such as handle making and secondary machining.
  • Surface Quality and Aesthetics. The smooth finish you get with five-axis machining often outperforms the qualities of parts made using other processes. This high degree of accuracy reduces the need for secondary finishing and enables you to create precise, complex shapes without worrying about wasting time in post-processing.

CNC 5 Axis Machining vs. 3+2 Axis Machining: How is it Different?

5 axis machining is often confused with 3+2 axis machining, but these processes are quite different. The name itself implies that 5 axis machining has five axes of movement. There is the continuous adjustment of the cutting tool along these axes, without interruption. As such, the tooltip will always be perpendicularly positioned.

The 3+2 axis machining is also called 5-sided/ 5-axis indexed machining. It involves movements in three axes plus rotations around two axes. In other words, the movements are divided into three types: linear, angular, and circular. This process ensures that the cutting tool is positioned perpendicularly to the workpiece.

Unlike 5 axis machining, the 3+2 one has to stop/start whenever you need to reorient your tool. This slows down the overall process and often necessitates re-adjusting the machine after every operation.

Consequently, the 5 axis machining is more efficient and cost-effective because it takes less setup time and reduces processing time. It is also more productive because it reduces the need for changing the tool. This means that you can produce parts at a fast rate without wasting time reorienting your tool.
