The Benefits of Multiple Axis Machining

August 22, 2017

A traditional CNC machine moves in three linear axes - a huge leap forward from early manufacturing techniques. As industry progresses, so does technology, and five-axis, or ‘multiple axis’ machining has become the new industry standard. Here are a few ways On Time Precision Components uses multiple axis machining to create precision components for your industry.

Complexity – The most common benefit of multiple axis machining is the ability to create incredibly complex shapes and parts. The added movement capabilities of the additional two axes allow for machining angles and arcs that previously required further tools and set ups.

Accuracy – A wider range of movement in the machining process leads to less times human interaction is required. Reducing the amount of times a component is removed from the machine, increases the precision capabilities and creates a better end result.

Capability – Simply stated, multiple axis machining can create what was not previously possible with a one step machining process, with some parts only capable of being created with simultaneous five-axis movement.  While some tool paths could have previously been achieved with three-axis machining, it would involve loading and unloading between multiple sets, fixtures and even machines.

On Time Precision Components is dedicated to using the best industry techniques and technologies to create quality, high-precision machined products. Contact us today to see how On Time Precision Components can serve your industry and take your business to the next level.
