It has the ability to process workpieces along three independent coordinate axes. In 3-axis settings, the cutter performs longitudinal and transverse movement in a horizontal plane, parallel to the working table and the workpiece fixed to it. This corresponds to the X and Y axes. In a 3-axis machine, these movements are made by moving the table with the workpiece.

Vertical movement along the Z axis in 3-axis machines can be carried out both by moving the table and the spindle assembly. In the case of moving the table with the workpiece, it is carried out using a hydraulic console. This method has significant drawbacks, since it requires the movement of massive parts. Therefore, this method is used only in light and medium horizontal and wide universal milling machines. Due to the low accuracy, this method is limitedly used in jig milling machines. In 3-axis machines, the vertical movement is mainly performed by the spindle with the tool.

The 4-axis milling machine is equipped with a rotary device that allows you to rotate the cutter about one of the axes. Most often, rotation is provided about the Y axis. This expands the technological capabilities of the milling machine compared to 3-axis settings. On a 4-axis machine, it is possible to simultaneously process a number of workpiece surfaces without changing its position.

With an increase in the degrees of freedom of movement of the tool up to 5, the capabilities of the machine also increase. An additional working axis for a 5-axis milling machine appears either by turning the desktop or the spindle. This leads to a complication of the design of the milling machine and an increase in its price, however, it is offset by a significant expansion of technological capabilities. There are also milling machines for metal, which have the ability to rotate the desktop along two axes. This significantly limits the size and weight of the available workpiece, but at the same time allows the production of extremely complex parts. 5-axis milling machines have one of the widest functionality among all metalworking equipment, for which it is worth buying.

Features of multi-axis milling machines

Advantages of coordinate milling machines:

• Ability to produce the most complex parts. These include products with a curved and shaped surface. In modern technology, these parts are used quite often, they are many gears, impellers, rotors, etc. In some cases, the part can only be produced on a 4-axis or even on a 5-axis milling machine.
• Ability to manufacture parts in a small number of operations. Even parts of ordinary complexity, especially body parts, contain a large number of structural elements. These include stiffeners, fillets, bosses, holes, etc. The implementation of such elements on a 5-axis CNC milling machine is quite simple.
• Wide possibilities. The convenience of a 3-axis milling machine and machines with a large number of working axes is that they allow you to perform many operations without rearranging the workpiece. Using these CNC machines, a significant part of the processing can be done automatically.

CNC multi-axis metal milling machines have gained significant popularity due to their efficiency.

The jig milling machine has much greater rigidity, but complex design requirements lead to restrictions on the mass and dimensions of the workpiece. Therefore, their scope of use is limited, they are used for small and medium-sized parts of complex shape. In some cases, for the production of simple parts, it is more profitable to buy simple machines - with less functionality, but also at a lower price. Therefore, before you buy a machine, you should carefully analyze the options for the technological process and choose the best solution for the price.

The increase in the number of work planes for milling equipment means additional possibilities and a significant increase in functionality. All this can be fully attributed to 5-axis CNC metal milling machines, which are in high demand today. Their scope is quite wide, and the quality of processing of metal blanks remains at its best, even when it comes to complex structural elements.

Technical parameters and purpose of 5-axis CNC milling machines

The main distinguishing feature of a 5-axis CNC machine is a movable spindle head that can move simultaneously in two planes perpendicular to the surface to be machined. Thus, the working tool can be moved up and down, positioned along or across the direction of the axis of the workpiece, or positioned at an angle according to software presets.

The design of the 5-coordinate metal milling machine is similar to other pieces of equipment in this category. The workpiece is located and fixed on the working field, and the start of the equipment is carried out thanks to servo drives. The choice in their favor is due to the high accuracy of their work and the possibility of feedback, which simplifies the management and control of equipment. One of the types of execution of five-axis centers is a variant with a spindle that can rotate simultaneously in five planes, fixed on a special rotary mechanism. This is the main difference between the machine and 4-axis milling models. An important advantage is also the presence of special sensors, whose tasks include quality control and accuracy of operations performed.

Among the advantages of 5-axis CNC metal milling machines, it is worth noting:

• Ease of processing parts with a complex surface structure, where there are stiffeners, fillets, fillets and other protrusions and recesses. In addition, the equipment is effective when working with parts that have a complex shape;
• The ability to drill holes in different planes, which requires special machine accuracy;
• The presence of the CNC unit simplifies the reinstallation of the machine and allows you to work without long downtime associated with the movement of the workpiece and the readjustment of equipment;
• A five-axis milling machine can perform a full range of work operations without the need for additional equipment. This reduces the likelihood of defects and guarantees high accuracy of the finished product;
• 5-axis metal milling machines can be used in the processing of large parts for the needs of architecture, automotive and machine repair, shipbuilding, foundry, household appliances and other fields.

Briefly about the machine and elements:

bed

The basis of the machine is a column-shaped bed made of cast iron elements, followed by machining. The use of cast iron makes it possible to obtain an almost “monolithic” frame that is not subject to deformation, which has a positive effect when working with especially durable materials. All elements of the bed have high-quality milling for interfacing and installation of structural elements, such as a profile rail, fastening elements for ball screws and stepper motors. The quality of milling in this case determines the accuracy of the installation of all elements of the machine, their alignment and parallelism.

Table

The table is a massive plate cast from high quality cast iron. The surface of the table is polished and processed to the state of "mirror". With a “bad” casting, it is almost impossible to obtain such a quality of subsequent processing, due to the presence of shells, air chambers, etc. The table has additionally milled grooves for attaching workpieces, vices, tilt-rotators and other working equipment (T-slot).

Mechanics

The mechanics of the CNC machine deserves special attention. It all starts with a 20mm profile rail. The profile rail is by far the best choice for building the basic mechanics of a high quality CNC machine. The profile rails are installed in specially milled grooves on the frame, which ensures their absolute parallelism along each of the axes, as well as the absence of a height difference during installation. The rails are fastened with a large number of screws and are additionally pressed against the frame with special hardened cylindrical "crackers". Such a rail fastening design is difficult to implement on machines of the budget segment due to its high cost and increased requirements for material processing.
Each axis has 4 linear bearings. To increase the rigidity of the moving elements, the bearings themselves are fixed at a certain distance from each other. On the one hand, this slightly increases the dimensions of the machine. On the other hand, it gives increased rigidity and the absence of backlash in all planes.
All moving parts of the CNC machine are driven by a ball screw 1605, optionally with an additional nut and a "pre-tensioning system". This system provides full compensation of the ball screw backlash in the longitudinal plane, and also has a better load distribution during movement, since the entire load is actually distributed over two independent nuts. The ball screws are attached to the frame with the help of special support blocks. The entire machine is driven by NEMA 23 100mm stepper motors.

Control electronics

The stepper motors are controlled by Leadshine DM556 discrete drivers. These drivers have their own built-in DSP processor that controls the operation of the entire driver (current tracking, step splitting, anti-resonance algorithm). Leadshine is one of the leading manufacturers of stepper motor drivers. By default, the electronics unit is controlled by the computer via LPT. It is also possible to control the machine via USB or Ethernet.

Spindle

This machine has on board a high-quality 1.5 kW liquid-cooled spindle. The control is carried out by a frequency converter, which allows adjusting the speed of the cutting tool in the range of 6-24 thousand revolutions per minute.

Additional options (available on request):

Spindle installation 2.2 kW

Tool sensor. It helps with high precision to adjust the position of the cutting tool in height, relative to the surface being machined.

Installation of servo stepper motors. The servo stepper drive differs from the classical one in the presence of a feedback circuit with an encoder and flexible current control of the motor operating modes. The use of servo stepper motors improves the productivity of the machine during intensive work by reducing the number of failures due to skipped steps. Also, the use of servo-stepper motors allows you to work with higher speeds and accelerations compared to conventional stepper motors, which has a positive effect on processing speed.

Lubrication system. The machine can be equipped with a semi-automatic lubrication system. Oil is supplied to each linear bearing and to the ball screw nuts. The adjustment of the supply and the amount of lubricant supplied is regulated by a special dosing and distribution unit. The use of a lubrication system can significantly increase the working life of the moving parts of the machine and improve performance.

A computer. Finding a stable CNC PC is not an easy task. The computer offered by us has been tested and configured to work with the machine, it has on board all the programs necessary for operation.

To speed up the productivity of modern factories, a 5-axis machine has been developed with, this installation operates on the basis of a spindle head, unique in its design.

Workpieces can be processed in 5 different planes, eliminating the need for separate equipment for such tasks.

general information

The main characteristic of the functionality of the coordinate setting of the wizard is the increased number of degrees of freedom up to five.

It is allowed to process parts in the following planes:

• the movement of the cutter is capable of being carried out along the vertical axis;
• movement in a horizontal plane is allowed;
• the movement of the cutter at a set angle to the workpiece - the 5th plane.

In terms of design features, the CNC coordinate milling machine is almost similar to its previous versions (four-plane and three-coordinate), but in terms of functionality, the addition of a fifth plane made it possible to significantly get ahead of them. An innovation for an innovative machine is its equipping with a servo drive, which ensures maximum work accuracy.

The main difference is that the working tool is fixed by means of a unique rotary mechanism. This feature is responsible for the inclination of the working cutter during milling.

Advantages of 5-axis installation

For many outdated models, it was necessary to select blanks that would correspond to a certain template form; working with complex parts required considerable preliminary preparation.

The coordinate milling machine is able to work with the most complex blanks, which makes it a universal machine.

In addition to extended versatility, a machine with software algorithms of work is characterized by the following advantages:

• It is allowed to process products with non-removable complex elements: fillets, built-in stiffeners, various bosses.
• The machine allows you to drill any number of holes that are located in different planes.
• The time of work on the machine is significantly reduced due to the absence of stops, changes in the position of the workpiece, and additional fixations.
• Work on numerical algorithms eliminates the human factor of interference.
• Additionally, there is no need to manually place the cutter in the "zero" position after the end of work.

This type of machine is actively used in the processing of even large parts of complex shape. The model is necessarily present in the staff of advertising organizations, car repair shops, is used in the architectural direction, in the manufacture of household appliances and in other areas.

Features of 5 axis technology

Carrying out work on the installation of 5-axis milling begins with the creation of the main control algorithm. Thanks to the presence of CNC, this process is carried out automatically. Software for complex parts is created with the obligatory presence of a specialist.

After the creation of the software, the main stage begins - the embodiment of mechanical work directly on the machine. The five-axis programming cycle is as follows:

• A 3D model of the workpiece is created.
• Often a pre-designed template is used or the unit is programmed from scratch.
• For each stage of the processing process, the trajectory of the cutter is built, and both the draft version and the final finishing version are designed at once.
• Loading the developed algorithm into a specific milling machine.

The technological features of the processing of workpieces include milling the contour of the part. This function must be performed both with standard template blanks and when working with complex parts to maintain efficiency.

Maximum precision is ensured thanks to pre-calculated trajectories of the working cutter, as well as absolute fixation of the workpiece.

Subtleties of technological milling

Thanks to a single clamping of the workpiece, it is not necessary to stop the machine; the position of the working tool at each point of the trajectory is controlled under the control of the chip. Only 5- and 4-axis machines are characterized by such an accurate calculation. In the process of milling, these machines independently remove excess chips and eliminate them from the workspace.

Control of the angle of inclination of the cutter, the current position of the spindle - these parameters are controlled every second by the CNC, which underlies the most accurate processing of parts.

On the machine, it is easy to mill a part relative to a horizontal plane, cut holes vertically, and cut at any angle of the cutter. In addition, internal processing of any elements and parts of the workpiece is allowed.

The extended functionality of this innovative model is used everywhere today. In any area, this installation allows you to significantly save time spent on work, money resources, while the quality of the final result only increases.
