What is 5 Axis CNC Machining?
5 Axis CNC machining is an advanced precision manufacturing process where the cutting tool moves along five axes that are X, Y, Z, A, and B, used to produce highly complex, intricate parts in a single setup. This capability allows for multi-angle machining, reducing setup times while delivering exceptional accuracy and surface finishes on difficult geometries.
By moving the tool or part along multiple axes simultaneously, 5-axis CNC machining services can create precise, custom components with tight tolerances that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional 3-axis or 4-axis machines.
Axis Breakdown:
⦁ X-axis: Left to right (horizontal movement)
⦁ Y-axis: Front to back (horizontal movement)
⦁ Z-axis: Up and down (vertical movement)
⦁ A-axis: Rotation around the X-axis (tilting)
⦁ B-axis: Rotation around the Y-axis (swiveling)
5 Axis vs. 3 Axis CNC Machining: Which is Better?”
When it comes to CNC machining, choosing between 3-axis and 5-axis machining systems directly impacts part complexity, accuracy, and production efficiency.
3 Axis CNC machining moves the cutting tool along the X, Y, and Z axes, making it a reliable choice for producing simple shapes, flat surfaces, and basic contours. It’s widely used in industries like automotive, construction, and general manufacturing for its lower costs and faster setup times on straightforward projects.
On the other hand, 5-axis CNC machining adds two rotational axes, the A-axis (tilting) and B-axis (swiveling), allowing the tool to approach the workpiece from virtually any angle. This makes it ideal for machining intricate, high-precision parts with complex geometries and tight tolerances, often required in aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and advanced automotive applications.
Simultaneous 5 Axis vs. 3+2 Axis CNC Machining: Which is Better?
When it comes to multi-axis machining, choosing between Simultaneous 5 Axis CNC machining and 3+2 Axis machining depends on your part complexity, production speed, and finish requirements.
Simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining involves continuous movement along all five axes at the same time. This allows the cutting tool to approach the part from virtually any angle without stopping, delivering faster cycle times, superior surface finishes, and exceptional precision that is ideal for complex aerospace components, medical parts, and intricate molds.
In contrast, 3+2 Axis CNC machining positions the part at a fixed angle using the two rotational axes while the cutting tool operates along the X, Y, and Z axes. This setup is better suited for parts requiring multi-face machining with fewer repositioning steps.
It uses shorter, rigid cutting tools for enhanced stability and tight tolerances, making it a cost-effective choice for prismatic parts and angled features.
| Feature | Simultaneous 5 Axis | 3+2 Axis Machining |
|---|---|---|
| Movement | All five axes move simultaneously | Three linear axes + two fixed angles |
| Complexity Handling | Perfect for highly intricate geometries | Great for parts needing angled positioning |
| Surface Finish | Smoother finishes, minimal tool marks | May need extra finishing |
| Production Speed | Faster, continuous machining | Slower but stable and efficient |
| Best For | Aerospace, medical, and high-precision molds | Large prismatic and angled parts |
| Cost | Higher machine and programming costs | More affordable alternative |
Trunnion-Style vs. Swivel-Rotate-Style 5 Axis CNC Machining
When it comes to 5-axis CNC machining, the machine’s configuration plays a key role in determining part size capacity, precision, and machining efficiency. The two most common setups are Trunnion-Style and Swivel-Rotate-Style 5 Axis machines, each designed to suit different project needs.
Trunnion-Style 5 Axis CNC machining uses a tilting and rotating table while the spindle remains fixed, making it perfect for machining large, heavy, or complex workpieces in a single setup. Its rigid support structure ensures excellent stability and multi-angle access, ideal for aerospace components, housings, and freeform surfaces.
In contrast, Swivel-Rotate-Style 5 Axis CNC machining (also known as a table-table design) keeps the workpiece fixed on a rotating and tilting table while the spindle moves across three axes.
This configuration offers superior accessibility for delicate, precision components, enabling smoother transitions, reduced tool vibration, and tighter tolerances, especially useful in industries like medical, electronics, and mold making.
| Feature | Trunnion-Style 5 Axis Machine | Swivel-Rotate-Style 5 Axis Machine |
|---|---|---|
| Table Movement | Tilts and rotates | Fixed part, rotating & tilting table |
| Spindle Movement | X, Y, Z axes | X, Y, Z axes |
| Tool Length | Typically longer tools | Allows the use of shorter, more rigid tools |
| Machining Stability | Excellent for larger parts, depending on the table load | High minimizes vibration, stable for precision parts |
| Best For | Large aerospace parts, housings, and freeform shapes | Precision medical components, electronic enclosures |
| Recommended Industries | Aerospace, energy, heavy equipment | Medical, electronics, and mold making |
Advantages of 5-Axis CNC Machining
5-axis CNC machining services deliver several critical advantages over traditional 3-axis setups, making them the preferred solution for precision-demanding, complex projects.

5-axis CNC Machining FAQ's
Can 5-Axis Machining Provide Tight Tolerance?
Yes, 5-axis CNC machining services are specifically designed to achieve tight tolerances, often down to ±0.01 mm or better, depending on the material and part complexity. The ability to machine from multiple angles in a single setup reduces repositioning errors, improving dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
When Should I Choose 5-Axis CNC Machining?
Choose 5-axis CNC machining when your parts require complex geometries, undercuts, multi-face machining, or tight tolerances that aren’t feasible with 3-axis or 4-axis systems. It’s ideal for aerospace, medical, and high-performance automotive components where precision, efficiency, and intricate detailing are essential.
What’s the Difference Between 5-Axis Machining and 3-Axis Machining?
3-axis machining moves the cutting tool along the X, Y, and Z axes, making it suitable for simple shapes and flat surfaces. 5 Axis CNC machining adds two rotational axes, allowing the tool to approach the part from virtually any angle. This reduces setups, enhances precision, and enables the production of complex, high-tolerance components.
How Does a 5-Axis CNC Machine Work?
A 5-axis CNC machine operates by moving the cutting tool or part along five axes that are X, Y, Z (linear), and A, B (rotational). These simultaneous movements allow for continuous cutting from multiple angles, reducing the need for manual repositioning and enabling faster, more accurate machining of complex, multi-surface parts.
What Is the Tolerance of 5 Axis CNC Machining?
The standard tolerance for 5-axis CNC machining typically ranges from ±0.01 mm to ±0.05 mm, depending on the material, machine capability, and part design. Certain high-precision applications, like medical or aerospace components, can achieve even tighter tolerances with specialized setups.
When Does 5-Axis Machining Make Sense?
5 Axis CNC machining makes sense when your part design involves complex curves, multi-face features, or tight tolerances that require precise machining from multiple angles. It’s also the best choice when minimizing setups and reducing lead times for intricate or high-value parts is a priority.
What Is the Difference Between 3, 4, and 5-Axis Machining?
⦁ 3-Axis Machining: Moves the tool along X, Y, and Z axes — ideal for flat, simple parts.
⦁ 4-Axis Machining: Adds rotation around one axis (usually A-axis), allowing machining on the side of a part.
⦁ 5-Axis Machining: Adds two rotational axes (A and B or C) for full multi-angle access, perfect for complex, contoured, or multi-surface parts, reducing setups and improving precision
Can 5-Axis Provide Tight Tolerances?
Absolutely. 5-axis CNC machining services are engineered for tight tolerance machining, with reduced repositioning, improved surface finish, and consistent accuracy on intricate components, often achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.01 mm.
What’s the Maximum Part Size for 5-Axis CNC Machining?
The maximum part size for 5-axis CNC machining depends on the machine’s work envelope. Generally, parts up to 500 mm (19.7 inches) in diameter and 400 mm (15.7 inches) in height can be machined efficiently, though some specialized machines handle even larger components. Always check machine-specific capacity for your project requirements.
