With a 5 axis machining center your ability to produce highly precise, consistently similar parts is greatly enhanced. Operating on the 3 traditional axes (XYZ) with the addition of a rotating axis (C) and tilting (B) provides the foundation for highly intricate machining at your fingertips. Integrating with other machining tools will have many production benefits, such as:
- Reduce waste: In combination with a CNC you use designs that make the most efficient use of materials
- Increase Production: Incorporating an auto-feed system will reduce labor costs and increase the number of parts per hour.
- All-In-One Machining: Instead of several different machining stations, a comprehensive 5 axis machining center can perform all the required cuts affecting the two aforementioned items of reduced waste and increased production.
