What is 5 Axis CNC Machining?

Traditional 3 Axis CNC machines are confined to linear X, Y, and Z axes,
5 Axis CNC Machining breaks these boundaries by introducing two additional axes: rotation on the X and Y axes, also known as A and B axes. This innovation empowers the cutting tool to access more workpiece areas from various angles, enhancing precision and versatility and ensuring both efficiency and accuracy.

5 Axis CNC Machining Parts Tolerances & Standards ISO2768

In the machining parts industry, tolerances are crucial for ensuring that parts meet design requirements and are reliable in their applications. The ISO 2768 standard provides detailed guidelines for general tolerances, helping customers specify dimensional and geometric tolerances for parts when no specific tolerance requirements are given.

Permissible deviations in mm for ranges in nominal lengthsTolerance class designation (description)
f (fine)m (medium)c (coarse)v (very coarse)
0.5 up to 3±0.05±0.1±0.2-
