WHAT IS 5-AXIS CNC MACHINING?

A 5 axis CNC service can provide unprecedented levels of accuracy for customized polyhedrons and intricate components compared to conventional methods.

The five axes are the typical X, Y, and Z linear axes plus two rotary axes perpendicular to the other three. The result is a unique ability to process components with complex shapes and require precision.

Maximum Part Size for 5-Axis CNC Machining

5-axis CNC machining has limitations on part size, as the process takes place within self-contained equipment. The maximum workpiece size is:

Maximum Workpiece Diameter: 33″
Maximum Workpiece Height: 35″

Components that exceed these sizes may be able to use 9-axis CNC milling, as it has higher maximums.

5 Axis CNC Machining Surface Finishes

One reason CNC machining has become so popular is its capability to work with a wide range of materials. GN’s 5-axis CNC machining can work with the below materials:

Low Alloy Steels (4140, 4145, 4130, 4330V)
Chrome (9 CR, 13 CR, 25 CR)
Corrosion Resistant Alloys (Stainless Steels, Inconel, Incoloy)
Aluminum
Titanium
Copper (BeCu)
Magnesium
Composite
