When this feature is integrated with unparalleled flexibility 5-axis CNC machiningthe result is nothing more than revolutionary. Greatlight embodies this revolution, leveraging state-of-the-art equipment and deep technical strength to solve complex manufacturing challenges and deliver top quality at competitive speed and price.
Unlock the power of five-axis high-speed machining
High-speed CNC machining not only moves faster; it’s a delicate dance between precision mechanics, advanced software and thermal management. By greatly increasing the spindle RPM (usually over 20,000 rpm) and fast traversal rates, it minimizes the time to participate in each cut tool. This greatly reduces vibration and heat accumulation – a key factor affecting accuracy and tool life.
Convert this speed with 5-axis machining Unleash its full potential:
- Complex geometric shapes make it simple: Parts that require contoured surfaces, deep cavity, primer or features (once the nightmare of a standard 3-axis machine) become feasible. The workpiece can be rotated and tilted continuously, allowing the cutting tool to approach it from almost any angle in a single setup.
- Top surface finish: Tool pressure reduction and minimize vibration at high speeds directly translate into smoother near mesh surfaces, greatly reducing or even eliminating the need for manual work.
- Settings reduce and improve accuracy: Complex parts in one setup on a 5-axis machine eliminates cumulative errors inherent in multiple settings on traditional machines, ensuring higher overall accuracy and perfect functional alignment.
- Extended tool lifespan: Precise control at high speeds often results in lower cutting forces per tooth, reducing wear and tear on cutting tools, reducing costs and downtime.

High-speed CNC machining: FAQ (FAQ)
Q: What exactly is defined "high speed" In CNC machining?
Answer: It’s not just the spindle speed. High-speed machining (HSM) refers to the process that utilizes significantly higher spindle RPM (typically 10,000 rpm to 50,000 rpm) depending on the tool/material) and improve feed rates, optimized by specific tool path strategies to reduce cutting force, heat and cycle time while enhancing surface and accuracy.
Q: Why choose 5-axis machining for high-speed applications on 3-axis?
A: 5-axis machining allows the complete manufacturing of complex parts in a single setup without repositioning. This eliminates setup errors, saves a lot of time, and allows cutting tools to maintain optimal orientation and access to high-speed policies, especially for complex contours and depth features.
Q: Which materials can be used with high-speed 5-axis technology Greatlight Machine?
A: We have skillfully refueled, including many aluminum alloys, various steels (stainless steel, tools, mild), titanium alloys, brass, copper, engineering plastics, and high-performance alloys such as inconel®. Our team selects the best speed, feed, tools and strategies for the properties of each material.
Q: How to improve the quality of parts by high-speed machining?
Answer: Key benefits include:
- Better finishes: Reduced vibration and cutting forces will create a smoother surface.
- Higher accuracy and tolerance control: Minimize deflection and thermal distortion.
- Improved geometric integrity: Especially for thin walls and complex shapes.
- Reduced the formation of Burr: The cleaner cuts at higher speeds.
Q: Is high-speed CNC machining actually cost-effective?
Answer: Absolute. Despite the large investment in machines, HSM greatly reduces cycle time per part. Combined with reduced set-up time (especially 5 axes), extended tool life due to optimized cutting conditions, less waste to improve accuracy, and minimized after-treatment requirements, the overall cost per part usually becomes very competitive, especially for complex parts.
Q: Can Greatlight handle prototyping and production runs?
A: Yes, our high-speed 5-axis capabilities are ideal for both. We can quickly generate high-fidelity prototypes directly from the CAD model and seamlessly transition to efficient production runs due to the inherent speed and automation of the process.
Q: What kind of post-processing services do you provide?
A: We provide a comprehensive set of finished services to simplify your supply chain, including heat treatment, various electroplating (nickel, chromium, zinc), anodizing (type II, type III/ha), paint/powder coating, polishing, laser engraving and assembly. We tailor these services to meet functional and aesthetic requirements.
