5-Axis Precision Machining

CNC 5-Axis Machines have the traditional three linear axes X, Y and Z familiar to all machinists – plus an additional two rotary axes B and C, or A and B, depending on machine architecture. Advanced 5-axis CNC controllers drive all five axes simultaneously to generate complex tool paths. Complex 3D surfaces like the organic shape of an orthopedic implant or turbine impeller can be made easily. 5-sided milling can make parts with simpler features on precisely tilted surfaces like opto-mechanical frames.

High precision and accuracy are assured by these advanced features:

Powerful 5-axis CNC controlprovides high-resolution surfacing, high speed look ahead, tool center point control, tool radius compensation and more advanced functions.
Rigid machine constructionfrom a compact frame and mineral cast machine base providing stiffness, thermal stability and vibration dampening.
High-speed water-cooled spindlewith 24,000 RPM, 32hp servo motor and HSK50 ultra precision tool chucks rapid remove material with precision and fine surface finishes.
Precision Glass Scaleson all axes provides highly accurate and precise position feedback to the controller to assure tight tolerances to meet part specifications.
Laser Tool Probescans each tool to automatically set tool length and diameter offsets. In production detects broken tools to prevent part defects.
Part Probetakes precision in-process measurements of the workpiece. Automatic tool path compensation assures part quality.
High pressure chilled coolantsystem streams coolant to the machining chamber. Controlled coolant temperature stabilizes the machine frame to provide tighter tolerances on your parts. High pressure coolant flushes chips from the workpiece while cooling and lubricating the cutting edges to promote long tool life.

Advantages of 5-Axis Precision Machining

When high-efficiency and high-quality are a must, 5-axis CNC machines are a versatile choice for many manufacturers. These high-precision machines can produce parts or products in one step. This functionality allows for increased speed, quality, and development. Benefits of the single set-up of the 5-axis CNC machine also include:

Ability to cut complex, elaborate parts.
Timesaving.The single set-up can reduce lead/processing times.
Greater accuracy. 5-axis CNC machines use shorter cutting tools, allowing for greater accuracy.
Better quality surface finish. Uses shorter cutting tools with less vibration, equating to a smooth surface finish.

5-Axis Precision Machining Customer Success Story

An emerging medical device company’s product uses compressed nitrous oxide to freeze and temporarily block pain receptors in a patient’s limbs for up to three months. Using this technology prior to major surgical procedures can greatly reduce patient discomfort with limited use of opioid painkillers. The customer came to China Surgical Tools with a need for greater precision in a critical component in the product. Precision 5-sided machining enabled China Surgical Tools’s team to produce the part with unsurpassed accuracy. As the customer’s product earned FDA approval and took off in the market, China Surgical Tools could easily ramp up production to keep up with demand.
