Workholding for Multi-Axis CNC Machines 219

Workholding for Multi-Axis CNC Machines provides an overview of common workholding devices and adapters for multi-axis CNC machines. Multi-axis machines have a greater range of motion and more cutting capabilities than conventional CNC mills and lathes. As a result, they require specially designed workholding setups to optimize cutting and reduce tool interference. Ideal workholding setups vary based on factors like part size, workpiece material, and machine configuration. Workholding devices for multi-axis machines ensure that advanced machining centers can be used to the fullest extent of their capabilities. After completing this class, users will have a greater understanding of major types of multi-axis workholding devices, as well as considerations for selecting workholders.
