5 axis CNC router machine is a type of multi axis 3D machining center with CNC controller, which is different from 3D printer, it is somewhat like the 3 axis and 4 axis CNC machine, but five axis CNC machine has two additional axis they can move along. These additional axis will allow for shorter project time due to their capability of cutting five edges of the material simultaneously. However, due to the fact that these five axis machines have a longer X-axis, which makes for less stability and accuracy-potentially requiring more of your attention than a 3 axis or 4 axis CNC router.
5 Axis Gantry Router For 3D Modeling Prototype
Standard Configurations
1. The five axis CNC router machine is equipped with high quality four-row ball bearing, wide linear lead rail and self-lubricating block for the machine. It can balance the force in all directions to ensure the machine’s accuracy and strength when machining.
2. Z axis can be heightened to 900mm, so it is suitable for processing large-scale and super-thick material.
3. The design documents of intelligent processing cross-border protection can prevent the excessive process caused by mechanical impact.
4. The diversified processing speed can be controlled separately. The speed of idle running and roll setting improve the quality of processed products and processing efficiency greatly.
5. Travelling area for STM2040 5 axis machine: 3000 x 4800 x 1500mm.
6. Extra heavy duty welded steel frame and gantry for maximum straightness and rigidity.
7. 12KW HSD liquid cooled spindle.
8. 8 position linear ATC with HSK63F precision tool clamping.
9. THK lubricated for life linear rails and guide blocks.
10. Yaskawa digital servo drivers and motors for high power, accuracy and speed.
11. Syntec – PC interfaced Numerical Control System.
12. Automatic machine lubrication system (option).
13. MPG XYZAC Hand Wheel for easy origin and work piece setting.
14. Tool setting device.
15. One starter set woodworking tools.
16. 3 x collets, choice from 1-20mm (imperial available if preferred).
17. 1 x HSK 63F Tool Holder included.
18. Inverter: Taiwanese Delta Inverter 0-22000rpm control.
19. German Schneider Electronic Spare Parts.
20. Japanese OMRON limit switches.
21. MAXICAM double sheathed, fire retardant and highly flexible towline cable can be bent 300,000 times.
22. Igus cable chain carrying system.
23. Voltage: 3PH 415V 50HZ.
Applications
5 axis CNC machine is designed to deliver high speed and highquality cuts for a wide range of materials, including but are not limited to wood, plastics, non ferrous metals and other composites. The CNC machine will provide various new applications including:
1. Edge trimming of molded plastic, thermoformed plastic, and composite parts.
The flexibility of the 5-axis machine creates the ability to provide high quality finishing and edge trimming on many manufactured plastic items.
2. Deep cavity mold making.
On three-axis machines deep cavity mold making requires that you have longer tools to be able to reach deep enough. Having longer tools results in the user having to reduce cutting speed to prevent breakage. With the added movement provide by 5 axis machining, shorter tools can be used, and your cutting speed can be increased.
3. Molded plywood chairs and decorative furniture parts.
The machine allows for unique shaping and molding of various materials, allowing you to make your creative and dynamic designs a reality.
4. Detailed 3D carvings.
The increase in movement of the cutting tool on the machine allows it to carve intricate designs into a piece of material. It allows you to capture the fine details of your design in the job you are cutting.
Features
Five-axis CNC machine tools are characterized by high efficiency and high precision. The workpiece can complete complex processing in one clamping, and can adapt to the processing of modern molds such as automotive parts and aircraft structural parts. There is a big difference between a five-axis machining center and a five-sided machining center. Many people do not know this and mistake the five-sided machining center for a five-axis machining center. The five-axis machining center has five axes: X, Y, Z, A, and C. The X, Y, Z axes and the A and C axes form five-axis linkage machining. It is good at spatial curved surface machining, special-shaped machining, hollowing machining, punching, oblique holes, and bevel cutting. The five-sided machining center is similar to the three-axis machining center, except that it can do five faces at the same time, but cannot do special-shaped machining, oblique holes, and bevel cutting.
Speaking of the features of the five-axis CNC machine tool, it is necessary to compare with the traditional three-axis CNC machines. 3 axis CNC machine is relatively common in manufacturing, and there are several forms such as vertical, horizontal and gantry. Common machining methods include end milling and side cutting of end mills. The profiling of ball-end knives and so on. However, no matter which form and method have a common feature, the direction of the tool axis remains unchanged during the machining process, and the machine tool can only realize the rectangular coordinates of the tool through the interpolation of the three linear axes of X, Y, and Z Movement in the department. Therefore, in the face of the following products, the disadvantages of the low efficiency of the three-axis machine tool, the poor quality of the processed surface, and even the inability to process are exposed.
