What is 5-Axis CNC Machining Technology?

It is an advanced subtractive process different from the traditional 3-axis(which only controls the X, Y, and Z linear axes) processing technology. 5-Axis technology adds two additional rotary axes (usually A, B, or C). That uses high-speed cutting can move the cutting tool or part in five different axes at the same time, enabling the manufacturing of complex parts

It is this technology that enables innovative designs in aerospace, medical devices, mold manufacturing, and automotive. Also, an ideal choice for industries that have strict requirements on precision and complexity.

Whether it is 1 piece or 5 pieces, we manufacture the parts you need with the same precision and without tolerance.

Key Benefits of Choosing 5 Axis CNC Machining

•  Manufacturing complex, multi-faceted, and precise parts:

With its ability to move the tool or workpiece in 5 dimensions at the same time, it is possible to "carve" these amazingly complex parts in one time, making designs that were almost impossible to achieve in the past a reality.

•  Advanced machining precision and surface finish:

The cutting tool can always approach the workpiece surface at the optimal angle, reducing the cumulative error caused by clamping and repositioning, making the surface quality of the final product smooth and delicate, and improving the product qualification rate.

•  Improving production efficiency and shortening manufacturing cycles：

The most direct efficiency improvement lies in "completion of multi-surface processing in one clamping." Shortens overall processing time, allowing your products to be put on the market faster.

•  Effectively reducing unit production costs and scrap rates：

Increased efficiency translates directly into lower costs. Reducing multiple setups means significant savings in manual operation time, while also reducing the potential for human error and part scrap caused by repeated setups.
