The number of axes used in CNC Milling, CNC Turning and Sheet Metal machining depends on the complexity of the machining task and the required machining accuracy. The following is the number of shafts commonly used for each machining method:
CNC milling:
5-axis CNC milling: includes X, Y, Z three linear axes and two rotating axes (usually A and B or C axis). 5-axis milling is used to process very complex parts, such as aircraft structures, turbine blades, etc.
CNC turning:
2-axis CNC turning: This is the most basic lathe configuration and usually includes the X-axis (transverse) and Z-axis (longitudinal). Used for machining axisymmetric parts.
3-axis CNC turning: In addition to the X and Z axes, a Y axis has been added. The Y-axis allows the tool to operate more in the lateral (radial) direction, increasing machining flexibility.4-axis CNC turning:
A rotating axis (usually the C-axis) is added to the 3-axis for machining complex parts with many facets.
5-axis CNC turning: This configuration usually consists of three linear axes X, Y, and Z and two rotating axes (the C-axis and the A-axis or B-axis). Used for machining very complex axisymmetric parts.
Sheet metal processing:
2-axis or 3-axis CNC sheet metal machining: Sheet metal machining usually uses 2-axis or 3-axis CNC bending machines, where the X-axis and Y-axis are used to control the movement of the workpiece, and the Z-axis is used to control the up and down movement of the bending die.
Multi-axis CNC sheet metal machining: For more complex Sheet Metal Parts, multi-axis control, including rotation and tilt shafts, may be required for 3D bending and other complex forming operations.
It is important to note that the actual number and type of shaft used depends on the specific machine design and processing needs.
