What are 5-Axis Machining centres?

A 5-axis machining centre is a computer numerical control (CNC) machine that can perform complex milling and machining operations on five different axes simultaneously. Unlike traditional 3-axis machines, which can only move in the X, Y, and Z planes, 5 axis CNC machining centers can also rotate around the A and B axes. This additional range of motion allows for greater flexibility and precision when manufacturing intricate parts and components.

Key Features 

Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining: The ability to cut and shape material along five axes simultaneously results in reduced setup times, enhanced precision, and superior surface finishes. This capability is particularly advantageous when manufacturing complex, contoured parts that require multiple setups on a conventional 3-axis machine.

Improved Accuracy: By eliminating the need for multiple setups and part repositioning, 5 axis machining centers minimize the potential for human error and inconsistencies in the final product. This translates to higher quality, more accurate parts, and reduced scrap rates.

Enhanced Versatility: The advanced motion capabilities of CNC 5 axis machining centers allow for the creation of highly intricate geometries and multi-sided parts in a single setup. This versatility enables manufacturers to take on a broader range of projects and expand their offerings to customers.

Reduced Tool Wear: The simultaneous movement of the cutting tool and workpiece in a 5 axis machining center reduces the overall stress on the tool, resulting in less wear and longer tool life. This can lead to significant cost savings over time.

Applications of 5-Axis Machining centres

These advanced multi-axis machining centers have found applications in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and energy. They are particularly well-suited for manufacturing components with complex geometries, such as:

  • Turbine blades and impellers for aerospace and energy applications
  • Orthopedic implants and surgical instruments for the medical industry
  • Mold and die components for injection molding and stamping processes
  • Complex automotive parts, such as engine components and suspension elements

When considering a used 5 axis machining center, it is essential to evaluate factors such as machine size, spindle power, tool capacity, axis travel, table configuration, and control system. Additionally, it is crucial to consider the level of after-sales support and training provided by the machine's manufacturer or supplier. By carefully weighing these factors, engineers, manufacturers, and buyers can make informed decisions that maximize their return on investment.

What budget to count with 

The price range can vary significantly depending on factors such as the machine's size, features, capabilities, brand, and age. As a rough estimate, 5 axis machining centers can typically cost anywhere from 150 000€ to over 1 million €.

Entry-level or smaller 5 axis CNC machines may start around 150 000€ to 250,000€, while mid-range models with more features and capabilities can range from 250 000€ to 600 000€. High-end, large-scale 5 axis machining equipment with advanced functionalities and specialized features can easily exceed 600 000€, with some machines reaching prices over 1 million €.

It's important to note that these price ranges are general estimates, and the actual cost of a specific machine can vary based on the manufacturer, model, and any additional features or accessories included. When considering a purchase, it's crucial to weigh the machine's capabilities and features against its price to determine the best fit for your specific needs and budget. Additionally, it's essential to factor in ongoing costs such as maintenance, tooling, and software when evaluating the overall investment.

Focussing on a range of price for a used 5 axis machining center, you can count between 50 000€ and 190 000€. This makes used CNC machining centers an attractive option for companies looking for precision, flexibility, and productivity while keeping investment costs under control.
