CNC milling is a computer-controlled machining technology. It uses cutting tools to remove material from solid workpieces. There are two types of CNC milling machines commonly used in industry:
• 3 axes (X, Y, Z)
• 5 axes (X, Y, Z + A – axis of rotation around the X axis, B – axis of rotation around the Y axis)

Product detail description
1. Why choose CNC milling?
• Wide selection of materials for milled parts, almost all engineering plastics and metal materials can be processed.
• CNC milling machining parts have high dimensional stability, high machining accuracy and high repeatability.
• CNC milling is the most versatile CNC machining process, and the adaptability and flexibility of parts processing are strong.
• CNC milled parts can be processed in multiple processes after one clamping and positioning; Five-axis CNC milling can complete the machining of multiple faces at once.
• CNC milling can machine parts with complex contour shapes or tight dimensional tolerances, such as mold parts, shell parts, etc.
• CNC milling machine has high degree of automation, high production efficiency, and can run continuously for 24 hours, which is conducive to production management automation.
2.The difference between three-, four-, and five-axis machining of CNC milling
Triaxial - This is one of the most widely used techniques for machining parts. A standard CNC milling machine has three axes, and the cutting tool moves along the X, Y, and Z axes to mill the part.
Triaxial machining can be used for a variety of tasks such as drilling, contouring and grooving. This kind of milling machine is relatively simple, generally refers to three axes of linear motion in different directions, such as up and down, front and back, left and right. The three axes can only machine one face at a time, and the most efficient machining surface is only the top surface of the workpiece. Four-axis - We use this milling machine to manufacture more complex parts. It incorporates an additional motion trajectory through rotation in the vertical axis, allowing greater flexibility and introducing more continuous machining.
Four-axis milling involves the same process as three-axis machining, however, milling is performed on an additional axis. Four-axis CNC machines operate on the X, Y, and Z axes and also include rotation around the X-axis, which is known as the A-axis. Five-axis - These machines are the most advanced and widely used type of CNC milling machine. The five-axis milling machine combines three conventional axes with two additional degrees of kinematics. It is operated by increasing the rotation of the table and spindle.
With this milling machine, we can machine 5 sides of the workpiece with one machine without having to set it up multiple times.
Five-axis milling machines are the best on the market right now. It can create precise and complex parts for aerospace products, automotive mechanical parts, medical products, mold manufacturing, etc. This machine is ideal for your project as it offers the option of single-step machining and reduces production time. It also makes complex geometries easier to access and increases tool life.
