CNC 5 Face Machining Center
The SFY CNC 5-Face Machining Center offers a powerful and cost-effective solution for manufacturing large-scale, complex components. Often categorized as 3+2 Axis CNC or 4+1 Axis CNC, these machines excel at high-speed, high-precision machining of five sides of a workpiece in a single clamping setup.
Technical Definition & Core Advantages
Unlike full simultaneous 5-axis machines, 5-Face centers provide rotary positioning for the tool or workpiece, significantly enhancing productivity for specific tasks:
Maximum Efficiency:By machining five sides in one setup, re-clamping errors are eliminated, dramatically improving geometric accuracy and reducing cycle time.
Optimal for Large Components: Specifically designed to handle large, bulky workpieces such as large molds, specialized fixtures, and box-shaped components.
Cost-Effective Complexity: Provides a highly efficient pathway for achieving complex features (e.g., angled holes, deep pockets) without the need for multiple machine moves or costly dedicated fixtures.
Primary Applications - Where 5-Face Technology Excels
This technology is the ideal choice for sectors where handling large, heavy, and complex components with tight tolerances is crucial:
Mold & Die Industry: The industry standard for machining injection molds, casting dies, and high-precision mockups, ensuring alignment across all faces.
Heavy Equipment & Box Parts: Essential for manufacturing housing components, hydraulic manifolds, and structural parts in the heavy machinery and marine sectors.
Specialized Tooling & Fixtures: Producing complex jigs and fixtures that require machining at multiple angles for alignment purposes.
SFY's Commitment to 5-Face Expertise:
As a professional manufacturer, SFY integrates rigid machine structures and high-torque spindles into our 5-Face centers, guaranteeing the stability and power required for machining tough materials used in mold making.
