5-Axis Machining: The WHYs and the HOWs | The 5-Axis Factor Ep. 1

We bought our first 5 axis machine in 2012. 11 years later, we just installed our 12th. It's been a heck of a ride.

I'm researching my first. Any advice you're willing to share?

Mind Blown. I'm on a 4axis Horizontal. I've seen very complex single work piece done with a 5axis. Never thought about high volume on a 5aixs. Freaking AWESOME!

Appreciate the video. Looking forward to the series.

Yes this approach makes total sense. I just started working in a shop where everything goes through CAM and full simulation. W make large parts in single piece or very small runs and most of the time with gears. The machines and products are expensive so avoiding crashes is paramount. Also it makes for uniform workflows. I really don't understand how companies are still relatively slow to pick up even though I have books on flexible fabrication systems published in 1990. Two spindle, two turret machines with live tooling and bar feeders were mentioned. In Holland there is an excellent supplier base especially in the high tech industry with the semicon industry as a main driver. Still there's lots of shops that do not seem to be capable of developing and implementing a true holistic production strategy, it may be that the purchasers of their customers are always squeezing them. Also the type of people drawn to this kind of work are not always the best and brightest unfortunately, and I am definitely talking about the management!

Great intro to the series! Definitely subscribing to see what comes next. What simulation software are you using?

[@465maltbie]

Nice way to start, thanks for sharing. Charles

[@He-Is-One-and-Only]

Would you make how to set up a 5axis job on a machine & program using cam software??

[@ipadize]

how do you like cimatron? is easy to get the toopaths you want?

[@zerotolerance8262]

Cimatron is the best!

[@zerotolerance8262]

Thanks for watching!

[@ninjaabcde]

How much do you guys spend on wire edms?

[@vishalpal6265]

Which software use for 5 Axis programming ? And which software for best 5 Axis programming?

[@yanivchen6401]

This software is Cimatron

[@Edsonjk2025]

Very nice

[@CAMER_21]

make more detailed videos on 5 axis ......... do make 1hr 2hr videos but make it in detail......explain all codes and fundamentals of 5 axis ....

Using a 5axis for pinewood derby is asinine. You are completely missing the idea behind competitiveness for kids. You are taking all of the fun away from others. This is no different than a man competing in women's sports.
