Five-Axis Technology: Does it Make Sense for Your Shop?

吉布斯和同事has announced that the company will collaborate with Gardner Business Medias’Modern Machine Shop(sister publication toPM) to present a free webinar at 2 p.m. Eastern time (11 a.m. Pacific) on October 16. Registration information and system requirements are on theModern Machine Shopwebinar page.

The webinar will demonstrate many of the significant advantages of five-axis machining, including both cost and time savings, with a direct impact to a shop’s bottom line. The webinar will cover a variety of scenarios, from parts with extremely complex shapes requiring full five-axis motion in order to machine all required areas of the part, to parts that benefit from five-axis positioning and can be machined in a single setup with greater accuracy and in less time. Multitasking machines and how they can also make use of five-axis machining in conjunction with conventional milling and turning operations will be discussed.

Topics to be covered in this webinar include:

• Overview of five-axis machining
• Primary types of five-axis machines
• Benefits of five-axis machining
• Various applications for five-axis machining
• Five-axis programming techniques
