IMTS 2018 Conference: 5-Axis Machining – Some Best Practices

Plan to attend The IMTS 2018 Conferences to give you deeper insight into new manufacturing technologies & ideas!

About the topic
5-Axis machining is an advanced and complex machining process involving many aspects such as tooling, machine, CAM software, and CNC technology. A lot of development has been done in these areas to improve 5-axis machining in recent years. However, many 5-axis machine users (programmers and machinists) are not aware of the new development and have not taken the advantage of the new technology.

In this presentation, the following topics will be discussed:

• How to achieve good surface in high speed
• Application of advanced CNC functions to reduce tooling cost and setup time
• Latest CNC development for 5-axis machining
• Selection of proper CAM software for 5-axis machines
• 5-axis machine simulation before cutting
• Use of standard part for 5-axis machine buy off

Registration is now open so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information.
