5 axis hmc machine

As we all know, the spindle of a 5 axis hmc machine is perpendicular to the ground. It can complete milling, boring, drilling, tapping, and thread cutting processes. The 5 axis hmc machine center is at least three-axis and two linkages and generally can realize three-axis and three linkages. Some can carry out five-axis and six-axis linkage.

5 axis hmc machine have the following advantages:

 1.The workpiece is easy to clamp. Universal clamps such as flat tongs, pressing plates, dividing heads and rotary worktables can be used to clamp the workpiece. The clamping and positioning of the workpiece are convenient;

 2.The tool path is easy to observe, the debugging program is convenient to check and measure, and problems can be found in time to stop the machine for processing or modification;

 3.The cooling conditions are easy to establish, and the coolant can directly reach the tool and the machined surface;

 4.The coordinate system, i.e. the three coordinate axes of X, y, and Z, is consistent with the Cartesian coordinate system, and the visual perception is consistent with the perspective of the drawing;

 5.The chips are easy to be removed and dropped, to prevent the chips from scratching the machined surface;

 6.The structure is generally single-column type. Compared with the corresponding horizontal machining center, it has a simple structure, small floor area, and low price.

The 5 axis hmc machine is suitable for machining workpieces with relatively small sizes in the z-axis direction. Generally, except for the bottom surface, the other five surfaces can be machined with different cutters.

Classification of 5 axis hmc machine

5 axis hmc machine can be divided into two categories according to their applications.

A kind of mass production product, which requires fast feed speed of machine tools, is generally called product machines; One kind is used to process multi-specification and small-batch molds. Because the mold steel is difficult to process, the machine tool is required to be rigid. We generally call it a molding machine.

For different purposes, the configuration of 5 axis hmc machine is completely different. Therefore, we must select the type according to the actual processed products.

Difference between 5 axis hmc machine and carving and milling machine

In addition to their essential differences in processing capacity, they also have essential differences in the mechanical structure, application occasions, volume structure, and machine tool configuration.

 1.Compare mechanical structure

5 axis hmc machine center generally adopts the bed type structure and is integrally cast. The machine head moves up and down on the herringbone column through the sliding plate. The cross sliding table mechanism is mostly used for the workbench. The rotating speed of the main shaft is generally between 8000r/min-15000r/min. The rigidity of the main shaft is high, which can not only carry out the fine machining of the workpiece but also carry out the rough machining;

Generally, the engraving and milling machine adopts a gantry structure, and the body is mostly welded from steel plates, with poor overall rigidity. The spindle speed is generally between 24000r/min-30000r/min. Due to the poor rigidity of its body and spindle, it can only carry out finishing machining with a small feed.

 2.Compare from application

Because the body of the vertical machining center is integrally cast, the rigidity of the main shaft is high. It is suitable for machining workpieces or molds with large milling volumes. It can also be used for rough or finish machining of large molds and materials with high hardness;

The engraving and milling machine is welded by its whole steel plate. In addition, the rigidity of the main shaft is poor. It can only carry out finishing machining with a small amount of milling. It is suitable for the processing of copper, graphite, wood, two-color plate, acrylic plate, and other plates with low hardness.
