1. 3-axis CNC machining is the simplest and most commonly used CNC machining parts service. This process uses a rotating tool that moves along 3 axes to machine a stationary workpiece.
2. The cutting tool moves along the X, Y, and Z axes to trim material from the workpiece. Additionally, it can even move along these multiple axes simultaneously to create the desired design.
3. This means that CNC machines can cut into the workpiece from side to side, front to back, up and down. However, the table holding the workpiece cannot move freely.
Firstly, check the integrity of the workpiece and fix the workpiece on the table with a suitable clamping method.
Secondly, Compile the tool path according to the product digital model, first simulate the processing, and repeatedly optimize the tool path to ensure High machining accuracy and small error.
Thirdly, input the tool path into the CNC system of the machine tool to produce G code instructions for operation and machining.
Fourthly, after the machining process is completed, measure/ inspect the dimension accuracy of the the part. Optimize the tool & tool path.
Finally, standardize the tool path of this type of product to realize mass production.3-axis machining center runs stably and ensures long-term use.
Although more advanced systems are available in the industry today, 3-axis CNC machining is still widely used because of its various advantages:
Low cost
3-axis CNC machining is best for quick production of basic geometries and simple parts.There are several ways to reduce time and increase efficiency in 3-axis CNC machining. The setting allows the cutter to move only in sections of the material to be cut. This design made by precision machining suppliers prevents the cutter from passing over the material into the air, which wastes time and reduces efficiency.
Versatility
3-axis CNC machining is a highly versatile part manufacturing process. Drilling, milling and even turning can be performed by simply changing the tool.These machines also integrate automatic tool changers, extending their capabilities.
