    Hi colleagues,

    We are going to buy a 5-axis machining centre and we have some technical questions.

    Mainly aluminium will be processed (but should be also suitable for steel, but no heavy metal cutting) in the sizes 1200 x 800 x 500.

    We use it to make 3-D shapes that will also be processed using 5-axis simultaneous
    > therefore the machine should also be dynamic.

    Now my questions:
    How fast ( linear feed axes and rotary table speed) must / can the machine of this size be, so that it's still sufficiently dynamic?

    What accuracy is required in order to achieve a good result in the simultaneous milling surface?

    Your information and experiences in this regard are very appreciated

    Greetings
    RC

    Hello

    What do you mean by dynamic?

    What is the budget?

    Simultaneous 5-axis surface quality especially depends on the CAM system, how exact the tolerance is set, of course, the machine does its part to this too.
