Five axis CNC machining center is able to move internal tools in three primary axes, designated X, Y, and Z, and two more axes created by the rotation of the X and Y axes. These axes lie parallel to the five axis CNC machining center spindle. Five axis CNC machining center is intended for making complex, three-dimensional parts such as turbine blades, impellers, and tools for plastic[plastic?:Plastic sample cutting machine] molding. The aerospace, oil and gas, woodworking, mold making, medical, and energy production industries regularly use five axis CNC machining center.
With five axis CNC machining center, the process of machining these parts occurs automatically. The five axis CNC machining center is set up at the beginning of production and runs according to what has been programmed into it until the process is finished. Five axis CNC machining center is sold as horizontally or vertically oriented, is required. Whether to choose a horizontal or vertical five axis CNC machining center depends on the application and space available in a factory or other facility.
