NX-CAM Manufacturing With CNC – VMC


2) 5 AXIS MACHINING INHOUSE LIVE TRAINING WITH CNC/VMC


1.Why should you invest in 5-Axis?

About 20 years ago, shops were wondering why they should switch from manual mills to CNC. The scenario for investing in 5-Axis machining technology is similar. Those who didn’t switch to CNC eventually got left behind. With any business, investing in the latest technology is a requirement to stay on top and compete effectively.


Often, there seems to be confusion due to the term “5-Axis” machining centre. Shops think they don’t have 5-Axis work. Every shop has work that would benefit from a 5-axis machine because a 5-axis machining centre facilitates 5-sided machining. So, even if you don’t have simultaneous 5-Axis work, such as impellers or turbines, the parts you are

2. Producing on your 3-Axis machines will be more profitable when you use 5-sided machining on a 5-Axis machining centre.

3-Axis vs. 5-sided :-

PARTS ON 3-AXIS MACHINING CENTER :-

  • Multiple setups for each side of the part

  • Increased setup time

  • Decreased accuracy


PARTS ON 5-AXIS MACHINING CENTER :-

  • Reduced setup time

  • Increased accuracy

  • Expanded shop capability for future work
