5 Axis CNC Machining

Ego Manufacturing Group provides 5 axis CNC machining services that achieve an angular tolerance of a degree (.002°). We specialize in true 5 axis contour machining, manufacturing 5 axis components with ease. To perform true 5 axis work takes more than just excellent machining and programming skills, our manufacturing engineers are remarkable machinists and have over 20 years in machining field, they fix program, and set up the machines, as well as produce the components themselves, running the job until all the fine-turning is complete no matter how complex the parts are that an order calls for. 

Benefits of 5 Axis Machining

1. Less fixture preparation--Saving time and money.

2. Workparts are not moved through several workstations, they can be completed on the 5 Axis machine alone--Finishing components with greater accuracy.

3. Single setup required for machining complex shapes--Increasing productivity.

4. Ability to achieve outstanding surface finishes--Improving over all part quality.

5. Can use shorter cutting tools--Producing higher cutting speeds and fewer tool vibrations for higher precision.

Expanded Possibilities with 5 Axis Machining

In many cases, a 3 axis CNC machine can do the work of a 5 axis CNC machine – not to say with the exact same precision. The main difference is the setup and fixturing time. Setting up a single job on a 3 axis CNC machine can take 5 hours for one piece, including the rotations needed to complete the fabrication. Setup and fixturing of the same job on a 5 axis CNC machine would take less than 2 hours. Cycle time is also significantly decreased by using a 5 axis machine over a 3 axis machine, reducing it by more than 1/3rd.

And, for repeat jobs, once the initial setup has been completed, the next time the job rolls around it is finished much quicker since the specifications are already programmed into the machine. Less time spent setting up and fixturing machines means better turnaround times, and more opportunities to take on other jobs.
