Five-axis CNC machining for multi-face parts
Rotary workholding gives access to holes, side openings and contours on several faces. For a similar part, we review the common datums, cutter clearance and measurement access together.
Features on different faces
Front-face holes and the curved side opening require access from different directions. Their common datums must remain usable around the rotary fixture.
Review the model and orientations
We identify the faces and openings to reach, then check blank size, tool reach and fixture clearance. Protected surfaces and common datums determine how to hold the part while preserving its assembly relationships.
Plan access around the fixture
Your complete model and mating envelope let us check locating methods and tool directions around the rotary assembly. Side openings and contours must remain accessible in every planned orientation.
Check relationships across faces
Positions and profiles are measured from shared datums using the agreed methods and reports. Indexed positioning reaches angled faces at fixed orientations. Continuous contours need a separate review of simultaneous motion and tool paths.
Position, profile and inspection records
We review common datums, mating features, positional tolerances and surface requirements together. The drawing and required dimensional records let us assess achievable limits and the inspection method.
| Review area | Drawing and acceptance requirements |
|---|---|
| Angled holes & side openings | Define common datums and positional relationships for angled holes and side openings. Agree position checks against that datum system. |
| Contours & restricted access | Supply the model revision, tool-clearance and protected-surface requirements. Agree profile comparison and permitted tool marks. |
| Material & order-specific records | Specify exact material and requirements for your own part, with order-specific records. |
For your part, we agree the measurement method, condition after finishing, support, sampling and report format before production.
