5-axis CNC Machining For Complex Titanium Parts

5-axis CNC machines combine multiple independent operations to improve precision due to the additional axes and the excellent mobility of the workpiece to the tool rotation axis, which significantly reduces part handling and multiple clamping stages during milling. The spindle head works closer to the workpiece, allowing the use of shorter cutting tools, less vibration and deflection, higher cutting speeds, tighter tool movement, and higher surface finishing capabilities.

Wstitanium 5-axis CNC Milling Capabilities

Backed by 15 years of experience and unparalleled creativity, Wstitanium has conquered the manufacturing of parts with complex geometries by investing in the most advanced 5-axis CNC machining machines (DMG 85, Multistarâ„¢ HSM500, HAAS UMC-750SS) from Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. These state-of-the-art CNC machines allow us to manufacture with speed and precision that exceed customer expectations. Thanks to the quality and automation of CNC machines, Wstitanium reduces the manufacturing time of complex parts by up to 84%. In addition to strong CNC machining capabilities, we are also able to reverse engineer, design or modify parts for their manufacturability.

Simultaneous 5-axis CNC Machining

Fast, Efficient, Simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining provides uninterrupted continuous motion adjustment in all five axes and features intelligent functions to ensure efficient continuous milling processes and fast turnarounds, greatly improving the surface quality of components with complex geometries.

3+2 Axis CNC Machining

3+2 Axis CNC Machining

When it comes to CNC projects for planes, 3+2CNC machining is very effective and can also achieve the manufacturing of parts with complex contours. However, its speed is inferior to that of the linkage 5-axis CNC machining center. It is worth noting that its machining projects are more cost-effective.

Advantages of 5-axis CNC machining

5-axis CNC machining is a leap forward in manufacturing technology. These advanced machines enable cutting of workpieces on five sides (top, front, back, left and right) in a single setup, allowing for unmatched versatility, efficiency and capability. The freedom of motion in all directions offers many advantages over traditional 3-axis CNC machining, including:

5-axis CNC milling

Access to Five Sides

Unlike traditional 3-axis CNC mills that primarily operate along the X, Y and Z axes, 5-axis CNC mills access up to five sides of a part (adding A and B rotary axes). This versatility allows for complex workpiece features to be processed from different angles.

Efficiency and Simplicity

The ability to machine multiple sides at different angles simplifies the manufacturing process by reducing setups and eliminating the need for complex fixtures, significantly improving efficiency.

Complex Paths

The heart of 5-axis CNC machining lies in its controller. These advanced CNC controllers drive all five axes simultaneously, enabling the creation of complex tool paths with unparalleled flexibility. For example, they can effortlessly shape organic shapes such as turbine impellers or medical implants.

Superior Surface Finish

During 3-axis or 4-axis CNC machining, a large number of smaller cuts must be made to produce the desired surface finish. The capabilities of 5-axis CNC machines on contoured geometry can produce parts with superior surface finishes.

Applications of 5-axis CNC machining

5-Axis is well known for its ability to manufacture complex parts, such as turbine blades, propellers, or orthopedic and knee implants. 5-axis is also a wise investment if you are looking to reduce the need for highly skilled labor. Honestly, if you are currently looking for custom parts services, there is a good chance that you can achieve more by investing in 5-axis. As an ISO9001:2015 and ISO13485:2016 certified manufacturer, Wstitanium is your best partner because it knows that custom part traceability and batch control are non-negotiable requirements.
