5-axis machining: Complete in one setup<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>Schw\u00e4bische Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH<\/a> has been a leading specialist in the demanding 4- and 5-axis machining of complex geometries <\/strong>for decades. We offer these capabilities in all of our CNC machining centers<\/a>. Our 4- and 5- axis machines offer an advantage over 3-axis machines, since 3-axis machines have feed axes only in the X, Y and Z directions. This results in limited abilities to produce complex geometries<\/strong>. For example, to engage the workpiece at an angle, the workpiece must be removed from the fixture and inserted into a new fixture during 3-axis machining. On the other hand, 5-axis milling<\/strong> with CNC machining centers from SW very often enable complete machining in just one setup<\/strong>. This saves time and eliminates the need to re-measure the workpiece position<\/strong> after the fixture change<\/strong>. In addition, you reduce chip-to-chip times in machining and achieve better surfaces. With 5-axis machining, you can increase efficiency and precision <\/strong>in your production<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>Machines<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Precision in all axes<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>In addition to three-axis machining in the X, Y and Z directions, SW machines<\/strong> also enable 4- and 5-axis machining<\/strong>.
