CNC machining is a cornerstone in modern manufacturing, with its fundamental method operating along three axes: X, Y, and Z. This allows for cutting and shaping in three dimensions. Advancing from this, 4-axis CNC machining introduces an extra rotational axis, typically the A-axis, enabling the tool to move along the X, Y, and Z axes while also rotating around this fourth axis. At the zenith of CNC machining capabilities lies 5-axis machining, which integrates two rotary axes (A and B) along with the X, Y, and Z linear axes. This comprehensive movement grants unparalleled flexibility, enabling the cutting tool to access virtually any surface angle or contour of the workpiece simultaneously. Consequently, setup ...

Consequently, setup time is reduced, and overall efficiency is increased significantly.
