Companies around the world are investing at an increasing rate in high end 5 axis machines. However, on the programming side many operators are only running the machines using a positional rotational method. When asked about 5 axis milling, some of the answers are:
- 5 axis is too difficult.
- The software used does not have good 5 axis strategies.
- Lack of machine capability know-how.
- Lack of training and limited simulation options to protect this high end machine.
Tebis will dive into the options that are available for utilizing the most out of your 5 axis machine and explain 3+2 axis milling is not 5 axis but a positional 3 axis operation.
Primary Topics:
- Different Strategies for 5 axis milling
- Ease of use for 5 axis operation
- Integrated 5 axis Virtual Simulation to protect the process
- Planning options for 5 axis operations
