How to Choose a Processing Center for Stainless Steel Five Axis Processing at Dongguan Five Axis Processing Factory

Stainless steel has special properties of corrosion resistance and acid resistance, making it the main material for spare parts such as medical devices and outdoor work equipment. Its hardness is also higher than that of aluminum alloy. Overall, the processing conditions for stainless steel five axis machining are also more difficult than those for aluminum alloy five axis machining. However, as the CNC machine tools for five axis machining centers become smaller and cheaper, Dongguan Five Axis Machining Factory has many significant advantages in five axis machining.

1. Better surface finish of the workpiece
In terms of contour geometry, the five axis function can improve the surface smoothness of the workpiece. When using a three-axis machine tool for processing, it requires a longer delivery time because they require very small cuts to generate the same surface finish that can be provided on a 5-axis CNC machine tool. Five axis machining brings the parts closer to the cutting tool. As a result, less vibration is generated, and the surface smoothness of the workpiece is improved.

2. Improve accuracy and tool life
Five axis machining improves accuracy by reducing settings. More settings mean more potential error space. Some tasks can even be completed in one setting, greatly reducing the risk of errors, while using shorter tools can extend tool life. The five axis machining center CNC machine tool can make the machine head closer to the cutting tool surface. Due to allowing for higher cutting speeds, tool life is extended as vibration decreases.

3. Saving Funds
By saving users' time, the five axis machining center CNC machine tool can also directly save money. Improving tool life means requiring fewer tools, and improving accuracy means reducing the risk of costly errors. Five axis machine tools can reduce floor space, improve flexibility and spindle utilization, reduce the demand for expensive fixtures, and reduce inventory investment.
