Talk about the difference between five-axis machining centers and five-sided machining centers?

Horizontal five-axis machining centers, such machining centers also have two ways of rotary axis, one is the horizontal spindle swing as a rotary axis, coupled with a rotary axis of the table, by the spindle vertical, horizontal conversion with the table indexing, the realization of five-face machining of the workpiece,

Disadvantage: poor spindle rigidity, but not for linkage, suitable for vertical, horizontal conversion of four-axis machining centers with different processing Requirements.

Advantages: processing is simple and flexible, spindle vertical or horizontal rotation simple change, low manufacturing costs, very practical.

Another traditional table rotary axis, set in the bed of the table A axis general working range +20 degrees to -100 degrees. The center of the table is also equipped with a rotary table B axis, B axis can be bidirectional 360-degree rotation.

Disadvantages: the worktable is limited, the rotary axis structure is more complex, the price is also expensive.

Advantages: the rotary axis can also be configured with circular scale feedback, indexing accuracy of a few seconds, commonly used in processing large impeller complex surface.
