Exploring 4-Axis Milling on a 5-Axis Table with the DMG MORI NVX 5100
In a recent project, we used the DMG MORI NVX 5100 to perform 4-axis milling on a 5-axis table. This setup, though a bit unusual, gave us great flexibility and made it easier to work on complex parts without needing to reset the machine frequently.
The part we worked on had an outer diameter of 238 mm, an inner diameter of 210 mm, and a length of 380 mm. The main advantage of this method was the ability to make detailed cuts and transitions on different sides of the part with fewer interruptions. The 5-axis table helped position the part perfectly, which made the 4-axis milling more efficient and accurate. This approach reduced the number of tool changes and sped up the machining process, while still delivering the precision we need.
The DMG MORI NVX 5100’s mix of 4-axis and 5-axis capabilities is improving our manufacturing processes and helping us handle complex parts more effectively.
