Main features of multi axis machining center
First of all, multi axis NC machining can realize process integration, which not only improves the effectiveness of the process, but also reduces the conversion of datum and makes the machining accuracy easier to be guaranteed because the parts only need to be clamped once in the whole machining process.
Secondly, because the multi axis machining center has more complete functions, it can shorten the processing chain and reduce the number of equipment. Although the price of a single machining center is not cheap, the total equipment price may be reduced, and the maintenance cost, tooling and fixture cost, and the floor area of the workshop can be reduced accordingly.
Next, because the multi axis machining center can shorten the process chain of machining, the processing tasks that used to be performed by multiple positions in turn can be completed by using multi axis equipment with only one job, which is very effective for simplifying production management and saving labor costs. The more complex the workpiece is, the more obvious this feature is.
Finally, enterprises in aerospace, automotive and other fields need to process many parts or molds with complex shapes and high precision requirements in the process of R & D. With the help of multi axis machining center, it can effectively solve the problem of machining accuracy, greatly shorten the research and development cycle, and improve the success rate of new products.
Main advantages of multi axis machining center
Just now, we introduced the main features of multi axis CNC machining centers. Next, we will talk about the specific advantages of this kind of equipment in processing.
First of all, the workpiece can complete the processing of five faces after one clamping. If equipped with a 5-axis high-end CNC system, it can also process complex spatial surfaces with high precision. This advantage is very suitable for processing forming molds for auto parts, aircraft structural parts and other workpieces. Multi axis machining center not only simplifies the processing process, but also shortens the processing cycle. Compared with traditional processing equipment, the surface quality of multi axis machining center is also better. For example, when processing headlamp molds, due to its special optical effect requirements, there are very high index requirements for the processing accuracy and surface finish of many small curved surfaces used for reflection. At this time, the use of multi axis machining center can well achieve the mirror effect and meet the needs of products. The traditional processing equipment and processing technology are almost impossible to achieve this goal.
Secondly, the machining efficiency of multi axis machining center is high, the speed is fast, and the quality can be guaranteed. Using five axis linkage machine tool to process the mold can complete the mold processing task at the fastest speed, deliver faster, and it is easier to win the favor of buyers. Moreover, the mold quality can be well guaranteed, and it is easier to modify. In the traditional mold processing, the vertical machining center is generally used to mill the workpiece. With the continuous development of mold manufacturing technology, industry insiders generally believe that using ball end milling cutter to process can bring better results, but because the linear speed of the bottom surface of the vertical machining center is zero, matching ball end milling cutter will result in poor machining finish. Using 4-axis or 5-axis linkage machine tool processing technology to process molds can overcome the above defects and obtain ideal processing quality.
