5-Axis CNC Machining Services for Complex & Precision Parts
Unlock advanced multi-axis machining capabilities with CNMP. From aerospace components to medical devices and automotive parts, our 5-axis CNC machining ensures accuracy, efficiency, and reduced lead times.
What is 5-Axis CNC Machining?
5-axis CNC machining is a process where the cutting tool or the part can move along five different axes simultaneously. Unlike traditional 3-axis machining, which only moves along X, Y, and Z, 5-axis machining adds two additional rotational movements (A and B axes). This enables the machining of complex geometries in a single setup.
Why it matters:
Reduced setups: Many features of a part can be machined without repositioning, improving accuracy.
Precision: Achieves tight tolerances required in aerospace, medical devices, and automotive parts.
Complex geometries: Ideal for turbine blades, impellers, molds, and orthopedic implants.
Surface quality: Fewer transitions between setups means smoother finishes.
Comparison:
3-Axis Machining: Suitable for basic parts, prismatic shapes.
4-Axis Machining: Adds rotation for cylindrical parts.
5-Axis Machining: Handles complex, multi-surface, high-precision parts efficiently.
