5 Reasons to Break into 5-axis

DMG MORI ELLISON Technologies | 5 axis machining

In today’s manufacturing world there is a growing pool of solutions and tools to choose from.

That’s why it’s imperative to think beyond the present and invest in technology that secures your future. So, what is the future of manufacturing? 5-axis machining. Just as we once had to make the transition from manual mills to CNC machine tools, we are now in the 5-axis era. If you don’t get into it now, you’ll get left behind.

5 Reasons For 5-axis:

  1. You’ve got to stay competitive. The fact is, even if your competitors aren’t machining 5-axis parts, they are using 5-axis machines for 2-3 axis parts. Why? Because 5-axis machining means fewer setups, greater throughput and efficiency with endless possibilities. Plus, they’ll be ready to produce 5-axis parts for new and existing customers. Will you be able to compete with that?
     
  2. You shouldn’t be flipping parts more than once.  5-axis machining is the one-and-done approach to manufacturing. Make your parts with 5-axis and the days of flipping over your parts like overcooked Angus burgers are over. Think about how much you’ll save with reduced setups and faster production times. Plus the quality of your parts increases significantly!
     
  3. Make more money in less time. We all want to be more profitable but how can we achieve that in less time? Again, the answer is a 5-axis. You’ll be able to machine a part from beginning to end in a fraction of the time because you’re no longer dealing with multiple setups. More money, less problems.
     
  4. Easy to program – it’s not that complicated. 5-axis machines have gotten a bad wrap because of older, complex control systems. Thankfully, 5-axis controls are no longer difficult to use and Ellison Technologies also offers a wide range of training options to get you up and running faster and seamlessly.  
     
  5. A new world of opportunities. Imagine the ability to make new parts, compete for more bids, and earn more contracts just because you have machine tools like the DNM 350/5AX that can make nearly anything in less time, less operations, and at less costs-per-part. Equipped with a highly rigid, high-speed spindle that churns at an impressive 12,000 r/min, the DNM 350/5AX will open the door to new applications you've only dreamed of, while reworking your current production line into a faster, more efficient operation.

The bottom line is that you need to stay competitive.
Open your world to endless possibilities with a 5-axis machine.
