5 Axis Vertical Machining Center

This five‑axis machine adopts a cradle‑style layout, suitable for small components that require multiple orientations during machining. The rotary table offers ample tilt and continuous rotation, carrying typical workpiece weights without difficulty. High‑resolution feedback on the angular axes ensures reliable positioning even for intricate geometries.

Product Introduction

The bed is made of high‑rigidity cast iron, reinforced with multi‑layer ribs to dampen vibration. Roller‑type linear guides on the three linear axes and pre‑stretched ballscrews deliver smooth motion. The two rotary axes are driven directly by torque motors, eliminating backlash and reducing maintenance. A grating scale closes the loop for each rotary axis, contributing to long‑term precision. The umbrella‑style tool magazine holds a moderate number of tools and performs changes quickly via servo control. An oil cooler is built into the spindle system, and an optional air conditioner can be added for the electrical cabinet. For automation, the control provides standard M‑codes to operate an automatic door or a robot. Real‑world applications show that this machine can machine blades 40% faster than a three‑axis counterpart.

Scope of Application

This machine is well suited for parts that are small, multi‑faceted, and produced in either small batches or higher volumes. Typical examples include impellers, small dies, medical implants, camera brackets, drone frames, and irregular mechanical components. When combined with a quick‑change fixturing system, the machine enables rapid product changeover.

Equipment Manufacturing Process

The first step is to collect all part‑specific information, including expected output and changeover frequency, and to propose a suitable level of automation (e.g., a collaborative robot or a gantry loader). After the contract is signed, the customer embeds the necessary cables and air lines into a foundation that is isolated from vibration. Assembly takes place in a temperature‑controlled workshop, where linear guides and ballscrews are mounted, the spindle and tool magazine are installed, and the direct‑drive motors are coupled to the rotary axes. The time grating scales are then calibrated, and the whole system undergoes a 72‑hour burn‑in test. If automation is selected, an automatic door and pneumatic grippers are added, and the loading/unloading cycle is simulated. Finally, the customer inspects the cell on site, and after approval, the machine is shipped. A field engineer provides three days of training and stays for commissioning.

About Us

Hodao CNC Technology has two production bases in Suzhou and Anhui, manufacturing five‑axis, gantry, horizontal, and vertical machining centers. The company uses CMMs, laser interferometers, and universal testing machines for quality control. All five‑axis units are tested under continuous operation for 72 hours before delivery. More than 300 units have been supplied to the aerospace, die‑making, and medical industries. Turnkey engineering services are available.

FAQ

Q1. What prevents the rotary table from moving when the power is off?

A: An electromagnetic brake on the tilting axis engages automatically. Never attempt to turn the table manually while the machine is powered down.

Q2. Can I use an ordinary tool holder?

A: Yes, but a balanced holder (G2.5 quality) is strongly recommended; otherwise, vibration at high speeds will degrade surface finish.

Q3. Does the control support in‑process measurement?

A: Yes. An optional touch probe can be activated via macros to perform workpiece alignment, compensate for size variations, and detect broken tools. Standard measurement cycles are provided.
