First-time 5-axis Control Machine Introduction Q&A
Should we prepare fixtures / tools for 5-axis machines?
Yes. We recommend preparing vises and holders that do not cause interference to maximize the machine’s performance.
Example (1): Interference between table and spindle
When the spindle approaches to the rotating table from the side, the spindle could interfere with the table
Use a vise tall enough to avoid interference
Example (2): Interference between vise and spindle
When a single-clamping vise is used, the spindle could interfere with the vise when approaching from the side
Use a small centering vise to allow the spindle to approach from any direction
