What is 3+2-axis CNC machining?
Both vertical and horizontal milling machines can implement standard three machining axes. However, a turntable and tilt-rotation trunnions have been installed to provide rotational movement along the other two axes. Basically, this is a 3+2-axis machining process.
Positioning 5-axis machining describes this type of machining because the fourth and fifth axes are used to hold the component in place throughout the operation. Standard three-axis machining operations can then be performed as an alternative to the continuous motion required by the process. In addition, the cutting tools used in 3+2-axis machining centers are shorter and stronger. Therefore, you can be sure that the dimensional stability is improved.
The 3+2 machining arrangement enhances the advantages of standard 3-axis machining centers. The ability to machine 360 degrees around the workpiece is a major advantage. Therefore, less preparation is required throughout the production process. It will reduce manufacturing time and expense.
What is linked 5-axis CNC machining?
Cutting tools can move in all directions simultaneously during synchronized 5-axis machining processes. The required parts are manufactured simultaneously from three linear axes and two rotary axes.
The main advantages of 3+2 axis machining are:
1. Generate more complex features
2. Less programming code
3. Lower costs and shorter cycle times
Advantages of 5-axis machining:
1. Save cost and time
2.Excellent quality and precision
3. Complex geometric details
4. Improve productivity and repeatability
5.Excellent surface treatment
