Multi-axis machining is a unique type of CNC technology that involves a spindle that can move in three or more directions compared to just one or two. Multi-axis CNC machining is popular for creating highly complicated components that must be quickly produced in large quantities. This includes designs with multiple features, including multiple different features, parts that need to be machined on many different sides, and components that need to be ultra-precise.
At Werner Systems, we favor the 5-axis CNC machine, which involves a couple of spindles that can move in multiple directions and rotate independently. This allows for the configuration of many different part geometries and features. Under the guidance of our skilled operation team, these machines can produce highly complicated parts in a single set-up, meaning little to no downtime to reset the machine for each feature or operation.
Multi-axis machining has many other benefits as well! It’s one of the most precise technologies in the industry, offering high accuracy with less need for secondary processing later to meet tolerances. Further processing is also reduced because of these machines’ cutting tools. They are shorter and more stable, reducing the vibrations created during the operation and, as a result, any potential damage to the workpiece’s surface. This results in a superior surface finish compared to other types of CNC machining.
We have years of experience with multi-axis machining to offer many different industries. From complex components for non-critical aerospace and aviation systems to high volumes of difficult parts for automotive applications to the high precision necessary for medical devices, multi-axis machining has plenty of different applications. At Werner Systems, our team has all the expertise necessary to meet the unique challenges of these industries and many more.
