The five-axis machining center has two rotation modes. The table rotation axis can process the workpiece at any angle, and can process inclined surfaces and inclined holes. The high-end CNC five-axis system and software support are used, and complex spatial surfaces can be processed. The advantage of this type of five-axis machining center is that the spindle has a simple structure and good rigidity, but the disadvantage is that the load-bearing capacity is relatively small. Another type of five-axis is the rotation of the spindle head. The front end of the spindle is designed with a rotary head. The advantage of this device is that the processing with the spindle can be very flexible, and the worktable can be loaded with a heavier load. This type of design is a five-axis swing head. There is also an advantage. When using spherical milling to process curved surfaces, the center line of the tool and the vertical surface of the processing surface can effectively avoid the apex cutting by the rotation of the spindle, which can ensure the linear speed and improve the surface processing quality. This structure is used for molds. The curved surface requires higher precision and more selections. In order to achieve more precise rotation accuracy requirements, it can also be equipped with a grating ruler. The accuracy can reach a few seconds, but the price is slightly higher.

Simply put, the five-axis machining center is only two more rotation directions than the ordinary three-axis machining center and the four-axis machining center. For example, a vertical machining center is three-axis. If the workpiece is rotated from left to right during processing, it is the fourth The axis can be rotated left and right and can also rotate back and forth. This is a five-axis machining center.
