While 5-Axis machining offers exceptional benefits, it does come with some adjustments that need to be made by the machine shop professionals who utilize this powerful piece of machinery. Here are some common obstacles and their corresponding solutions as we transition many of our precision CNC machining projects to our new 5-Axis machining center – the Vertical Center Universal 400A 5X.:
Overcoming Complexity in Programming and Tooling:
The transition from 3-Axis/4-Axis to 5-Axis machining requires advanced programming and tooling expertise. At JW Machine, we invest in our workforce on a regular basis. This now includes educating them on learning and adapting to the amazing complexities and capabilities 5-Axis machining offers. We also collaborate with our tooling suppliers to help us learn the most efficient ways to streamline the programming process.
Maintaining Stability and Reducing Vibrations During Machining:
High-speed machining can introduce vibrations. We recognize that combating this requires advanced toolpath strategies, optimized spindle capabilities, and ensuring rigid machine structures. Each are crucial in maintaining stability and reducing vibrations during 5-Axis machining.
JW Machine is excited to be able to offer advanced precision CNC machining capabilities via our new 5-Axis vertical center. 5-Axis machining is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry, and we are proud to be on the forefront of delivering this amazing technology to our valued clients. In addition to 5-Axis machining, JW Machine also offers contract manufacturing, prototypes to production manufacturing, small part machining, close tolerance machining, CNC milling, CNC turning, laser cutting, laser engraving and more. We invite you to give us a call to learn about our machine shop and how our precision CNC machining capabilities can benefit your business today!
