Why we need 5axis machine ?

-Reduced setup time
-Increased accuracy
-Expanded shop capability for future work
Simultaneous 5-axis
-Better surface finish
-Longer tool life
-Allows tool to reach difficult places smoothly

5axis Machining can define into 2 major process

- 5 Face Machining
- 5axis Simultanous Machining

Often, there seems to be confusion due to the term “5-

axis” machining center. Shops think they don’t have 5-
axis work. Every shop has work that would benefit from
a 5-axis machine because a 5-axis machining center
facilitates 5-sided machining. So, even if you don’t have
simultaneous 5-axis work, such as impellers or turbines,
the parts you are producing on your 3-axis machines
will be more profitable when you use 5-sided
machining on a 5-axis machining center.
