Multi-axis Machining
Multi-axis machining refers to the capability of a machine to perform operations along more than one axis. While conventional mills and lathes have the ability to machine on than one axis, it is the CNC mills, CNC lathes, CNC machining centers and CNC turning centers that have enabled us to exploit multi-axis machining to its full advantage. The addition of multiple spindles, multiple turrets and live tooling enables the machining process to take place on more than one surface area – often while utilizing the same setup. Machines are classified according to how many axes they have. Standard CNC machining centers usually have four axes: Tables x, y and z and milling head z. A five-axis or a six-axis machine has an extra axis for a horizontal milling head.
