First-time 5-axis Control Machine Introduction Q&A

There are so many machine models, and we have no idea how to choose the right one

The 5-axis machine can be broadly classified into three types according to the machine structure. Please choose the right one according to your workpiece size, material and machining necessary for your production.

  • Swivel rotary table type

    [Recommended use]

    • Small- to mid-sized mass production workpieces
    • First 5-axis control machine for your shop

    [Highlights]

    • As the table doesn’t travel horizontally, equipment itself is relatively small
    • As the spindle has no rotary axis, the coordinate is easy to understand intuitively
  • Swivel head rotary table type

    [Recommended use]

    • Mid- to large-sized workpieces
    • Machining of difficult-to-cut workpieces and heavy-duty cutting that require great cutting power

    [Highlights]

    • As the table is not tilted, heavy workpieces can be cut in a stable manner. Heavy-duty machining is also possible
  • Swivel rotary head type

    [Recommended use]

    • Ultra large / heavy workpieces

    [Highlights]

    • Large workpieces 2,000 mm (78.7 in.) or more
    • As the table is not tilted, heavy workpieces can be cut in a stable manner
