5-axis plastic milling
5-axis plastic milling allows the simultaneous machining of a product on five sides in a single setup. Complex plastic products can be easily processed with minimal human effort. Discover the additional advantages that 5-axis plastic milling brings.
5-Axis (Simultaneous) Plastic Milling: An Explanation
Unlike 3-axis milling, 5-axis milling enables machining at different angles. The cutter moves along the X, Y, and Z axes while the head can be tilted. This method allows the product to be machined not only from the top but also from the left and right sides.
This method offers significant benefits. The product can be milled faster while maintaining the same precision. Higher tolerances can be achieved during plastic machining. Additionally, more complex operations can be performed with this method.
At BKB Precision, we also offer 5-axis simultaneous milling, the most advanced method of CNC machining where all machining axes are controlled simultaneously. It is suitable for milling very intricate products with shorter cycle times.
The 5-Axis Milling Machines
In our extensive and state-of-the-art machine park, we have various 5-axis milling machines. Each of these machines is expertly operated by a robot, allowing us to maintain continuous production 24/7. The human element is minimized but remains present for setting up the machines and inspecting the product. This ensures that precision and quality are consistently maintained.
In addition to our impressive 5-axis milling machines, we have a range of other advanced milling machines. Curious about the specific machines we deploy for the production of your plastic products? Discover it through the button below.
