The machining center is a lathe used to process workpieces, many friends have heard of the five-axis machining center, but the five-axis machining center is which five-axis you may not know very well, the following is a brief introduction for you.
The traditional machining center is generally a three-axis, with X, Y, and Z axes, and the five-axis machining center adds a rotary axis and a swing axis on its basis, and the rotation axis can be a A axis or a B or C axis (the axis rotating around X, Y, and Z is called a A-axis, a B-axis, and a C-axis respectively), the rotation axis can rotate 360 degrees, and the oscillating axis is one of the remaining two axes (such as B or C) in addition to the rotation axis that has been defined (such as the A axis), The oscillating axis can only swing within a certain angle (such as plus or minus 90 degrees) and cannot rotate 360 degrees.
To sum up, the five axes of the five-axis machining center generally have three ways: XYZAB or XYZAC or XYZBC.
