Why 5-Axis
Machi­ning?

50 % less tooling

• 8 vs. 17 total tools (5-axis vs- 3-axis)
• 5-axis capability allows optimum tooling to produce component features
• Optimum tool reach for all tools
• Maximizes tooling geometries for optimum cutting conditions

Example workpiece: High pressure fluid manifold

Power engineering, 380 × 280 × 200 mm, Titanium cast

25 % increased process accuracy*

• Optimized setups reducing component setup errors
• Increased shape and position tolerances (GD & T)
• Process control utilizing machine setup capabilities

* Calculation is based on a specific example, using selected products and procedures. Deviations are possible and depend on numerous variables.

Example workpiece: High pressure fluid manifold

Power engineering, 380 × 280 × 200 mm, Titanium cast

60 % reduced setups

• 2 vs. > 5 setups (5-axis vs- 3-axis)
• Reduced operator intervention
• Reduced setup time and errors
• Increased part accuracies achieved by reduction of part setup

Example workpiece: High pressure fluid manifold

Power engineering, 380 × 280 × 200 mm, Titanium cast

30 % reduced cycle time

• 33 vs. 48 min. cycle time (5-axis vs- 3-axis)
• Optimized cutting conditions = faster cycle times
• Reduced setups
• Reduced part handling

> 70 % more parts with automation

• DMU 50 2^nd Generation
  → 14 parts in one 8 h shift
• DMU 50 2^nd Generation with PH 150 (10 pallets)
  → additional 10 parts in unmanned time

Sustainability

• Replace several 3-axis machines with one 5-axis machine
• Minimize your operating costs by utilizing one machine instead of partial utilization of several machines
• Optimize your part quality and avoid scrap due to unnecessary retooling
• Increase the productive time of your machine with our Digitization products, e. g. PC-based programming solutions or remote monitoring / service
