Multi-Axis CNC Operations 218

Multi-Axis CNC Operations provides an introduction to methods and considerations for using a multi-axis CNC machine. Multi-axis machines have a greater range of motion than conventional machines, which allows them to perform multiple cutting operations and create complex parts. However, their multiple moving parts and increased range of motion makes them more complicated to use and puts them at greater risk for tool interference. Multi-axis machines also require specialized workholding devices to allow greater access to the part. Multi-axis machines are quickly gaining popularity in machining and offer many benefits for production time and part accuracy. After completing this class, users will have a greater understanding of multi-axis CNC operations and important differences between multi-axis and conventional machining.
