Process High-Quality Aerospace Components with Mazak Variaxis 630-5X 2T
25 May 2022One of the industries that require reliable components is the aerospace industry. This industry should only maximise parts and products with great standards to prevent any safety risks.
When manufacturing aerospace components, manufacturers should always consider the material. A wide range of materials can be processed by manufacturers in creating aerospace components. Some of these materials include high-strength steels, aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, and composites. These materials are known for their resistance to elements, long-lasting performance, and cost benefits.
Aside from the materials, manufacturers should also consider the process used in creating the aerospace components. And one great process for generating quality aerospace components is 5-axis machining.
The Importance of 5-Axis Machining
Despite the presence of durable materials, manufacturers cannot turn them into high-quality aerospace components if they do not utilise the right machining process. Fortunately, 5-axis machining provides tons of benefits that can help the aerospace industry attain its needed parts and products.
5-axis machining is a machining process wherein a cutting tool moves across X, Y, and Z linear axes and rotates on the A and B axes. The movement of the tool allows it to process workpieces in any direction, processing them in just one setup. It also allows manufacturers to carry out simple to complex processing on workpieces, making it more useful than other types of machining.
Manufacturers can gain a lot of benefits from 5-axis machining. For one, 5-axis machining can enhance the productivity of manufacturers as it can machine complex shapes. It can likewise save time and money, shorten lead times, enhance throughput and cash flow, boost part accuracy, attain superior surface finishes, and achieve better part quality.
Utilising Mazak Variaxis 630-5X 2T
One machining centre that can provide the benefits of 5-axis machining to aerospace component manufacturers is the Mazak Variaxis 630-5X 2T.
Mazak Variaxis 630-5X 2T is a 5-axis vertical machining centre that features a highly rigid, built-in tilting rotary table with turning functionality in both vertical and horizontal orientations. This rotary table allows the machining centre to conduct multitasking operations and generate intricate contours and features for workpieces in single machine setups.
Aside from its built-in tilting rotary table, the Mazak Variaxis 630-5X 2T can also be integrated with a Palletech system to generate robust automated cells. It is likewise available with a 2-pallet changer system, depending on one’s needs and requirements. This machining centre also features a table that tilts up to 150° (A-axis) and rotates up to 360° (C-axis), a turning spindle, cooled ball screws, and a Mazatrol Matrix CNC control.
