Five-axis machining represents a critical advance in modern manufacturing, allowing the simultaneous control of five independent axes to achieve complex geometries and enhanced surface finishes.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Keio University developed a novel tool path generation method for driving an independently controlled fast tool servo (FTS) for freeform surface machining. Without ...

Much has been made of high efficiency milling in recent years, and for good reason. Roughing cycle times can often be reduced by as much as 80% by using solid end mills, small stepovers, faster feed ...
