What's the difference between a five-axis machining center and a pentahedron machining center?

Five-axis machining center, that is, five-axis linkage CNC machining center, is a high-efficiency and high-precision CNC machining center. The workpiece can be clamped at one time to complete complex machining, and it is especially suitable for machining parts with complex structure, high precision and large batch, such as automotive sheet metal parts, aircraft structural parts, aero-engine turbine blades, aircraft wing sheet metal, complex boxes and so on.

There is a great difference between five-axis machining center and pentahedron machining center. Many people mistake pentahedron machining center for five-axis machining center. The five-axis machining center has five axes of X, Y, Z, A and C, and the three coordinate axes of xyz and the ac axis form a five-axis linkage machining. Good at spatial curved surface machining, special-shaped machining, hollow machining, oblique hole, oblique cutting and so on. The pentahedron machining center is similar to a three-axis NC machining center, but it can process five faces at the same time. The pentahedron machining center can't do special-shaped machining, drilling inclined holes, cutting inclined planes, etc.

Five-axis machining center is not only used in aviation, aerospace, military, precision instruments, high-precision medical equipment and other industries, but also widely used in civil industries, such as wood mold manufacturing, bathroom finishing, automobile interior processing, foam mold processing, European home, solid wood chairs and so on. Five-axis machining center is a high-tech machining equipment, which makes the impossible possible, and all spatial curved surfaces and special-shaped machining can be realized. Five-axis machining center can not only complete the tasks of complex workpiece and mechanized machining, but also quickly improve the machining efficiency and shorten the machining process.
