5-axis and multi-axis CNC machines

5-axis milling machines and multi-axis CNC machines

From raw bars to the finished component with just one machine: 5-axis and multi-axis milling machines take on the cutting, bar processing, complex notches and 3D processes easily and efficiently. Optimise your entire fabrication process with CNC milling machines from Schüco.

The complex made easy

3D processing can be completed with ease, as can large and deep cuts.

One for all

Cutting, milling, drilling and notching – several work steps can be carried out on just one machine. This reduces set-up times and makes your fabrication process more flexible.

Higher quality

CNC machines with at least five axes enable the machining of profiles with very large dimensions and with maximum precision.

Improved efficiency

The fabrication process is simplified and faster processing is facilitated. Employees are freed up and have more time for other work.

More flexibility

Thanks to increased flexibility, 5-axis milling machines and multi-axis machines offer even more added value for your company compared to 4-axis machines. 5-axis milling machines take on tasks easily and efficiently, such as cutting and bar processing, complex 3D processing and complex notches. 5-axis milling machines can therefore make large and deep cuts.

Simultaneous processing

Simultaneous milling of the material without re-clamping reduces cycle times significantly and speeds up fabrication. Long downtimes become a thing of the past, while your productivity and efficiency increase. The 5-axis machining also enables you to align the material to be processed more precisely on the milling tool. The optimum slope means that a shorter milling tool can be used that vibrates less, leading to better fabrication results and a longer service life for the tool.

Effective interplay

The interplay of easy-to-use software and high-precision CNC machine creates profiles of outstanding quality. Planning, control and monitoring of your production process is easy thanks to software such as SchüCal and MES. Integrated optimisation algorithms automatically recommend the most effective processing sequence, making sure you always get the best out of your 5-axis CNC machine. Of course, you retain full control of the system at all times with the intuitive user interface.

A masterful combination

When high-tech CNC machines are combined with the unmanned operation of a continuous feed machine, this creates maximum flexibility for your fabrication process. From cutting the raw bars to the final processing of the finished component – you can complete all work steps as intermittent unmanned operation, including particularly large component and profile dimensions.

Our 5-axis and multi-axis CNC machines

With maximum performance, the machines can complete tasks of almost any complexity in the fabrication of aluminium and steel profiles. The CNC machines enable the process steps of cutting and machining on one machine. Fabrication from the raw bar to the finished part and large profile dimensions provide the greatest possible flexibility.

What is a 5-axis CNC machine?

What is a 5-axis CNC machine?

The 5-axis milling machine works with five main axes fixed to a frame. With this type of CNC machine, all 5 axes can be moved on the main X, Y and Z axes. What's more, the 5-axis CNC milling machine can also be rotated on the A, B and C axes. This is where the key advantage comes into play, as the additional pivot and rotation axes make integrated 3D processing possible.

The 5-axis milling machine is one of our most state-of-the-art, advanced machines. Work with our 5-axis CNC machines can also be further optimised by means of innovative robot technology.

What are the 5 axes when milling?

What are the 5 axes when milling?

The 5-axis milling machine is fitted with 5 axis heads, whereby each axis has a different function. The functions of a CNC machine with 5 axes are easy to explain:

  • The X axis moves from left to right
  • The Y axis moves forwards and backwards
  • The Z axis moves up and down
  • The A axis rotates 180° around the X axis
  • The B axis rotates 180° around the Y axis
  • The C axis rotates 180° around the Z axis

Areas of application for 5-axis CNC machines

5-axis CNC machines can really do it all. Their uses range from A to Z, but of particular note is their ability to make particularly large and deep cuts.
