Five axis machining centers are not new to you. Five axis vertical machining centers generally have five moving axes, which are three linear axes / (XYZ /) and two rotating axes / (AB /) or / (AC /), which are represented by different representation methods according to their installation positions. Today, I mainly introduce the installation position of a and C rotating shafts of five axis vertical machining center.
The A and C rotation axes of the five axis machining center can be installed in different positions. For example, the A and C rotation axes can be installed on the worktable or the spindle, or they can be installed on the workbench or the spindle respectively. The A and C rotation installation positions of the five axis machining center are mainly determined by the product. In the market, the A and C rotation of the common five axis vertical machining center are both Installed on the workbench, there are few other types of installation. Now let’s introduce it to you.
Five axis machining center a, C rotation axis is installed on the worktable
In general, the A, C rotating shaft is installed on the worktable in this way, and it is the most seen in the market. Because of the limited size of the workpiece, this kind of installation method can not process large workpieces or load the machining center, because the bearing capacity of a rotation is limited.
Five axis machining center a, C rotation axis is installed on the spindle
There are few ways to install a and C rotating shafts on the main shaft. This kind of a and C rotating shaft installation mode is used to process large workpieces, and its load capacity is stronger than that of installing a and C rotating shafts on the workbench. Therefore, this kind of a, C rotating shaft installation method will be used in processing large-size workpieces.
The A and C rotating axes of the five axis machining center are respectively installed on the worktable and the spindle
In general, the a-axis is installed on the main shaft, while the c-axis is installed on the table. This kind of a-axis and c-axis installation mode is also relatively rare. It can process large-scale workpieces and grab the load capacity.
