4 Technical background 5X programming
In this section, your trainer will introduce you to 5X programming.
The application of 5 axis machines in your company does not automatically
mean that all machinings will use 5 axis simultaneously. On the contrary, the
best machining is when the rotary axes are not used. 3 axes and 5 axes simultaneous
operations must complement each other.
In the future, you will, nonetheless, use 5X programming more often because
the application of 5X cycles with the tilt strategy fixed inclination considerably facilitates
programming.
Please take a look at the following programming comparisons.
