MehrachsenMaschines

MehrachsenMaschines, often abbreviated as MCM, refers to machines capable of performing complex multi-axis movements. These machines are distinct from traditional two or three-axis machines in their ability to simultaneously control motion along additional rotational or tilting axes. This increased degree of freedom allows for the machining of highly intricate geometries and complex surfaces that would be difficult or impossible to produce with standard equipment.

The primary advantage of MehrachsenMaschines lies in their versatility. By orienting the workpiece or the cutting tool in multiple directions, these machines can perform operations such as undercutting, simultaneous five-axis milling, and contouring in a single setup. This reduces the need for multiple machine setups, leading to improved accuracy, reduced lead times, and lower production costs. Common applications include aerospace components, medical implants, automotive parts, and intricate molds and dies.

MehrachsenMaschines typically employ advanced computer numerical control (CNC) systems to manage the coordinated movements of their multiple axes. These systems translate complex toolpath data into precise, synchronized motions. The design of these machines can vary, but they often feature sophisticated kinematic chains and high-precision linear and rotary actuators. Maintenance and programming of MCMs require specialized knowledge due to their complexity.
