5-axis machining centers represent the maximum of the technical evolution compared to the world of mechanics. 5-axis machining allows infinite machining operations to be carried out on workpieces of different... shapes and sizes. The term 5-axis indicates the unique ability of these machines to move the milling tool and possibly also the table in 5 different directions. In addition to the x,y,z axes of all milling machines, the five-axis machining centres also allow the tool to be rotated in a controlled manner around the A and B axes. The A axis represents the axis of rotation of the head on which the tool is housed, while the B axis usually represents the axis of rotation of the table. This feature allows the tool to approach the workpiece from any direction, thus allowing it to be machined on 5 sides with a single machine setting. All this translates into an enormous saving of time and the possibility of obtaining finished pieces with very high precision finishes. Five-axis machining is also distinguished by the simultaneous machining of the axes. When all 5 axes are able to move simultaneously during machining, then we will talk about a simultaneous five-axis machining centre. Other times, however, we have the A-axis and the B-axis lock into the desired position before the standard 3-axis milling program is started. In the simultaneous machining of all five axes, the operator does not have to intervene to orient the tool in the desired position; this work is carried out automatically by the machine.
