5AXIS HEAD-HEAD 45 deg


This is another configuration of 5 axis machine. Using head and incline head 45° or some of us call it 5axis swivel head.

The main rotation C axis was on Z axis. Then A axis was incline between Z axis and Y axis.

Type of this machine has limitation of their rotation axis, such as:

C axis: limit + 360° and - 360°

A axis: limit +20° and -20°

SEYOON was one of famous machine maker that produce 5 axis machines. Complete with roll cutter to get cutting process much easier for some application.

There is some major equipment that 5 axis machining will result good performance.

  1. Machine Constructions
  2. Machine Control
  3. Software (external user)
  4. CAD/CAM Operator
  5. Tooling

With 5 axis software, we can explore the strategy and simulate the 5 axis tool path that we just make.

The 5axis simulation on the software representate the real cutting on the 5 axis machine, so we get more confident.

Safety and accurate, that we want to achieve.
