What is 5-axis milling of faces?

5-axis milling of faces capability for titanium components

Precision machining capability for 5-axis milling of faces, utilizing multi-axis CNC centers with in-process inspection and SPC quality control.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Simultaneous 5-axis CNC milling enables complex freeform geometries to be machined in a single setup, eliminating positional errors from multiple fixtures. The rotary A and C axes provide full access to undercut features and compound-angle surfaces while maintaining optimal tool engagement angles for titanium, specifically for titanium components. Precision titanium components present unique challenges: Balancing dimensional accuracy with cost per part. Process selection (mill vs. turn vs. EDM vs. laser) optimized for each feature.

Parameter Primary Method Alternative Method
Axes Simultaneous 5 axes (X/Y/Z + A/C rotary) 3+2 axes (positional)
Best For Blisk, impeller, turbine blade, complex bracket Prismatic mill-turn parts
Surface Finish (Ti) Ra 0.4 µm with small-step finishing Ra 1.6–3.2 µm
Cycle Time 30–70% faster than 3+2 for complex surfaces Faster for simple prismatic features

Engineering Capabilities & Limits
