As an outstanding representative of modern CNC machine tools, the 5 axis cnc router machine has been widely used in many industries due to its performance in high precision, high efficiency and high flexibility. This article will take an in-depth look at the key features of a 5 axis cnc router machine and compare its advantages with a three- or four-axis engraving machine.
Main functions of 5 axis cnc router machine
A 5 axis cnc router machine is a CNC machine tool that can engrave in five directions on the workpiece simultaneously. Its basic processing is carried out on the three-axis coordinate system of Better fit and closer to the workpiece surface to engrave and cut materials. The main functions of the 5 axis cnc router machine include:
Processing of complex curved surface workpieces: When the 5 axis cnc router machine processes complex curved surface workpieces, its unique five-axis linkage function can maintain the optimal cutting angle between the tool and the workpiece, achieving high-precision and high-efficiency processing.
Three-dimensional sculpture engraving: The high precision and high flexibility of the 5 axis cnc router machine enable it to easily cope with the engraving needs of various three-dimensional sculptures. Whether it is a large sculpture or a tiny precision sculpture, it can achieve precise engraving effects.
Multi-sided processing: The 5 axis cnc router machine can process multiple sides of the workpiece at the same time, greatly improving processing efficiency.
Comparison of advantages of 5 axis cnc router machines
Processing accuracy: The 5 axis cnc router machine can maintain the optimal cutting angle between the tool and the workpiece through five-axis linkage, achieving higher processing accuracy. In contrast, when a three-axis or four-axis engraving machine processes complex curved workpieces, due to the angle limit between the tool and the workpiece, its processing accuracy is often difficult to reach the level of a 5 axis cnc router machine.
Processing efficiency: The 5 axis cnc router machine can process multiple surfaces of the workpiece at the same time, and there is no need to frequently change tools and workpieces during the processing, which greatly saves the time of tool changing and machine adjustment, and improves processing efficiency. When three-axis or four-axis engraving machines process multi-faceted workpieces, they need to frequently replace tools and workpieces, and the processing efficiency is relatively low.
Processing scope: 5 axis cnc router machines are suitable for processing various complex curved surface workpieces and three-dimensional sculpture engraving, while three-axis or four-axis engraving machines are relatively limited in processing range. 5 axis cnc router machine can meet more diverse and more difficult processing needs.
Flexibility: The 5 axis cnc router machine can flexibly adjust the angle and position of the tool during processing to adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes. However, it is relatively difficult to adjust the angle and position of the tool on a three-axis or four-axis engraving machine.
To sum up, 5 axis cnc router machines play an increasingly important role in the manufacturing industry with their high precision, high efficiency, high flexibility and wide processing range. Compared with three-axis or four-axis engraving machines, 5 axis cnc router machines have significant advantages in processing accuracy, processing efficiency, processing range and flexibility.
