3-axis CNC machining
 
3-axis CNC machining generally refers to three axis moving in a straight line in different directions, such as up and down, front and back, left and right.
 
3-axis can only process one face at a time, which is suitable for processing some disk parts. This is a limitation for many parts that need to process holes or grooves on multiple faces.
 
4-axis CNC machining
 
4-axis CNC machining is to add a rotating shaft on the 3-axis, which generally rotates 360° in the horizontal plane. But it cannot rotate at high speed, so it is suitable for processing some box parts.
 
Most 4-axis CNC machines also allow the workpiece to rotate, which is the so-called b-axis, so that the machine can act as both a milling machine and a lathe.
 
If you need to drill holes on the side of a part or on the surface of a cylinder, 4-axis CNC machining is the best choice. It greatly accelerates the machining process and has high machining accuracy.

 
5-axis CNC machining
 
5-axis CNC processing is to add another rotating axis on the 4-axis, which is generally 360 ° rotation on the straight elevation. The 5-axis can be fully processed, and one-time clamping can be realized, which can reduce the clamping cost and reduce the product scratch and bruise.
 
Because 5-axis NC machining has high versatility, it can be used to manufacture complex precision parts. For example, medical components of artificial limbs or bones, aerospace components, titanium components, oil and gas machinery components, military products, etc.
