What is Multi Axis Machining and How Does it Help My Chicago, IL Company?
Efficiency and precision are paramount at Roberson Machine Company. Multi axis machining is a cutting-edge technique that involves using CNC machinery to perform operations on numerous axes at once. Our traditional 3 axis machining moves vertical on the Y-axis, sideways on the X-axis, and back-and-forth on the Z-axis. With 5 axis machining, we utilize two additional axes – the tilting table (A-axis) and the table table rotation (C-axis). The spindle head is closer to the part, allowing shorter and tighter cuts with diminished vibration and deflection.
5 axis CNC machines can also be used in what is known as “3+2” mode. This means that the two table axes are locked, putting the workpiece or cutting tool into a fixed position. The 3+2 mode allows workpieces that would usually be machined on a 3 axis CNC machine to be produced on a machine that doesn’t require as much downtime, special fixtures, loading and unloading, or changing of setups. It also allows parts that have unique features or holes on multiple faces to be manufactured quicker and more reliably.
What Are the Advantages of Multi Axis Machining?
Multi axis machining at Roberson Machine Company is an efficient and economical solution with many different benefits for your Chicago, IL business, including:
- Enhanced precision: Multi axis machining enables the production of intricate parts with complex features, like curved surfaces and undercuts, that would prove difficult and time-consuming utilizing more traditional manufacturing methods. We provide our Chicago, IL customers with greater accuracy and dimensional consistency with our ability to move cutting tools along multiple axes.
- Enhanced tool life: Multi axis machining allows us to prolong the life of our tools and speeds up our cycle times as a result of tilting the tool/table to keep optimum cutting position and constant chip load.
- Lower tooling costs: With multi axis machining, intricate parts can often be produced using a single setup, lessening the number of tool changes required, increasing uptime, diminishing human error and, in turn, your Chicago, IL company’s costs.
- Expanded design possibilities: The versatility of multi axis machining opens the door for fresh possibilities. We can develop highly complex components with smoother transitions and complex shapes and contours. This allows for increased innovation and the manufacturing of customized parts.
- Achieving excellent surface finishes: Using the rotating fourth and fifth axes, your part can be orientated to bring it closer to the cutting tool. When the part gets closer to the cutting tool, the tool can then be shorter, permitting less susceptibility to vibration and deflection at higher rates of speed, which directly impacts surface finish.
We are always investing in manufacturing solutions and multi axis machines. Being able to develop parts and products using multiple arcs, angles, and throughputs that are impossible to achieve on more conventional CNC machines easily creates components that combine tighter tolerances and more complex designs. Our partners in the Chicago, IL area trust that they will get quality parts, made to their exact standards, and built to last.
