Advantages of changing machining center from machining to multi-axis head

Equipment using multi-axis heads requires fewer moving axes than machining equipment and has a simpler structure, making it easier to maintain.
In addition, once machining accuracy is achieved with a multi-axis head that has a fixed pitch interval, it is less susceptible to the effects of repetitive positioning accuracy by NC.

Before

Machining centers perform multiple drilling and tapping operations while changing tools on a single spindle.

  • Various cutting processes can be performed, but tools need to be changed each time.
  • In order to drill holes in various positions, the positioning of each axis (X, Y, and Z axes) is performed each time, so basically the positioning accuracy of the machine directly affects the machining accuracy.
  • Since the positioning accuracy of each axis affects machining, it becomes difficult to manage maintenance parts.
After

  • Multiple drilling and tapping can be performed with a single Z-axis feed.
  • A single multi-axis head can simultaneously perform drilling of various diameters and types.
  • The pitch accuracy between holes on the workpiece is determined by the pitch of each spindle on the multi-axis head, allowing stable and repeatable hole drilling.
  • Since there are no X-axis and Y-axis movement axes, there is less space for storing spare maintenance parts.
