Application of five-axis machining center in mold processing
1. Analyze the advantages of five-axis machining
In the five-axis machining, the flat bottom end mill is used to maintain a vertical state for the machining surface of the complex mold, which can greatly reduce the machining time. The principle of the five-axis machining center is also suitable for side milling with angled surfaces, which can eliminate the rib-like lines caused by the ball end mill machining, making the surface quality of the mold more ideal, and reducing the need to clean the mold surface. Manual milling as well as the workload of manual work.
Through the five-axis machining technology, the problem that the workpiece needs to be debugged and installed several times at a complex angle can be solved, which not only shortens the time, but also greatly reduces the errors generated. The large cost of the machine has also been saved, and the machine tool has also achieved the processing of complex parts, such as drilling, taper processing, cavity recesses, etc. required for complex surfaces, which cannot be achieved by traditional methods.
The tool used in five-axis machining is shorter, and the entire part can be processed at one time without re-installing or using longer tools required in similar three-axis machining. The production of the mold is completed in-house, and the quality of the surface of the part is also good.
