What is Multi Axis Machining and How Does it Help My Seattle, WA Company?
Precision and efficiency are paramount at Roberson Machine Company. Multi axis machining is a cutting-edge technique that involves using CNC machinery to perform operations on multiple axes at once. Our traditional 3 axis machining moves sideways on the X-axis, vertical on the Y-axis, and back-and-forth on the Z-axis. With 5 axis machining, we utilize two additional axes – the table rotation (C-axis) and the tilting table (A-axis). The spindle head is in closer proximity to the part, allowing shorter and tighter cuts with far less vibration and deflection.
5 axis CNC machines can also be used in what is known as “3+2” mode, meaning the two table axes are locked, putting the part or cutting tool into a fixed position. 3+2 mode permits workpieces that would usually be machined on a 3 axis CNC machine to be produced on a machine that does not require as much downtime, special fixtures, loading and unloading, or changing of setups. It also allows parts that have holes or unique features on multiple faces to be machined more reliably and quicker.
What Are the Benefits of Multi Axis Machining?
Multi axis machining at Roberson Machine Company is an efficient and economical solution with a variety of benefits for your Seattle, WA company, including:
- Enhanced precision: Multi axis machining enables the manufacturing of complex parts with complicated features, like undercuts and curved surfaces, that would be challenging and time-consuming employing more conventional production techniques. Our ability to move cutting tools along multiple axes allows us to provide your Seattle, WA company with greater accuracy and dimensional consistency.
- Improved tool life: We can extend the life of our tools and speeds of our cycle times as a result of tilting the tool/table to keep optimum cutting position and consistent chip load.
- Reduced equipment costs: With multi axis machining, intricate parts can often be manufactured using a single setup, minimizing the number of tool changes required, increasing uptime, decreasing human error and, in turn, your Seattle, WA company’s costs.
- Expanded design possibilities: The adaptability of multi axis machining opens the door for fresh possibilities. We can design and 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: Your part can be orientated to bring it closer to the cutting tool, utilizing the rotating fourth and fifth axes. When the part gets closer to the cutting tool, the tool can then be shorter, permitting less susceptibility to vibration at higher speeds, which directly impacts surface finish.
Roberson Machine Company is always investing in manufacturing solutions and multi axis machines. Having the ability to produce parts and products using various arcs, angles, and throughputs that are impossible to achieve on more traditional CNC machines easily creates parts that combine more complex designs and tighter tolerances. Our partners in the Seattle, WA area trust that they will receive quality parts, made to their precise standards, and built to last.
