The odd thing is that if the Renaissance artists can use a hammer and chisel for computer numerical control (
CNC)
And the correct machine, we may see tens of thousands of David statue is carved with a number of different materials.
however, no matter you are on the marble carving masterpiece, or the use of titanium in the blade, the basic principle is the same: starting from a piece of material, remove redundant part, and leave the target object.
Of course, the details of this process is much more complex, especially for five axis machining.
what are the five axis nc machining?
in the simplest terms, five-axis machining is the use of CNC on the five different shaft moving parts or tools at the same time.
it can process very complex parts, that is why the five-axis machining especially popular in the aerospace.
However, the following factors have contributed to more widely USES five axis machining:
driving machine to finished in 'one-off' change, shorten the delivery cycle, improve efficiency.
by tilting tool or workbench to avoid interference, and part geometry can also get better processing.
due to cutting tool or workbench can tilt, can maintain the best cutting position and constant of chip load, so as to improve the service life of cutting tools, shorten the cycle time.
'five axis' what meaning be?
we all knew the story of Newton and the apple, but also has a similar anecdotes about famous mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes.
One day, Descartes was lying in bed (
Mathematicians and philosophers have become accustomed to do so)
When he found a fly buzzing in the room.
He realized that only the three digits can describe the fly in the three-dimensional space of the house in the position, expressed in variable x, y, and z.
This is the famous cartesian coordinate system, since his death have been used for more than three centuries.
Therefore, X, Y and Z axis of three axes in the five axis.
