First-time 5-axis Control Machine Introduction Q&A
Does the rotary axis affect durability and accuracy of the machine?
Our 5-axis machines employ a swivel rotary table with large-diameter bearings and the MASTER series spindle for powerful B-axis machining to ensure high rigidity and stable machining accuracy. With advantages unique to 5-axis machining, such as fewer setup errors, shorter tool overhang and capability of avoiding a tool tip point where tool's peripheral speed becomes zero, 5-axis machines achieve higher accuracy than 3-axis machines.
