Five-axis CNC machine tool is a kind of high-tech and high-precision machine tool, which is specially used for machining complex surfaces. This machine tool system has a decisive influence on a country's aviation, aerospace, military, scientific research, precision instruments, high-precision medical equipment and other industries. Five-axis CNC machine tool system is a means to solve the processing of impellers, blades, marine propellers, heavy generator rotors, steam turbine rotors and large diesel engine crankshafts.
Equipment manufacturing industry is the cornerstone of a country's industry. It provides an important means for the development of new technologies and new products and modern industrial production. It is an indispensable strategic industry. Even developed industrialized countries attach great importance to it. With the rapid development of China's national economy and the need of national defense construction, there is an urgent demand for high-end CNC machine tools. Machine tool is a symbol of a country's manufacturing level.
Development status of five-axis CNC machine tools
The appearance of five-axis CNC machine tools abroad is to adapt to the processing of polyhedral and curved parts. With the new development of machine tool compound technology, on the basis of CNC lathe, a turning and milling center which can be used for milling is rapidly produced. The machining efficiency of five-axis CNC machine tools is equivalent to that of two three-axis machine tools, and sometimes it can even completely save the investment of some large-scale automatic production lines, greatly saving the occupied space and the turnover transportation time and expenses between different manufacturing units.
Market demand has promoted the development of five-axis CNC machine tools in China. At CIMT99 exhibition, domestic five-axis CNC machine tools entered the machine tool market for the first time. Since Jiangsu Duoling CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. exhibited the first five-axis gantry machining center, Beijing Electromechanical Research Institute, Beijing No.1 Machine Tool Factory, Guilin Machine Tool Co., Ltd., Jinan No.2 Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. and other enterprises have also developed five-axis CNC machine tools.
