4 and 5-Axis simultaneous machining offer key advantages over conventional indexed 3-Axis machining:
- Reduced cycle time by machining complex components in a single setup. In addition, dimensional accuracy can be significantly improved through the elimination of positioning errors between setups
- Improved surface finish and extended tool life are achieved by orienting the tool to maintain optimum toolto- part contact at all times
- Improved access to undercuts and deep pockets - through tilting the tool or component - allows shorter series tooling to be employed, eliminating the need for secondary setups
- Reduced fixturing, as the cutter can be presented to the component at any required angle The inherent complexity of 4 and 5-Axis CNC programs makes their generation vir tually impossible without a powerful CAM system - make Edgecam your choice!
