4-Axis
Edgecam's 4-Axis stratégies are ideal for the rotary machining of automotive and aerospace components such as camshafts,
crankshafts and blades, as well as the production of rotary
dies and components for the oil & gas industry A range of
advanced options provide complete tool control.
Machine simulation for safe opération
Accurate machine simulation is critically important with
multi-axis machining, as small changes in tool orientation can lead to significant rotary movement of the cutting tool - with the associated risk of collisions or surface marking of the finished component.
Edgecam's 4 and 5-Axis modules include full machine
simulation to aid visualisation of the machining process.
The complete machine tool and all moveable axes may be modelled and incorporated within the interactive
machining simulation, helping to ensure fast and safe process optimisation.

Benefits
4 and 5-Axis simultaneous machining offer key advantages
over conventional indexed 3-Axis machining:
• Reduced cycle time by machining complex components in a single setup. In addition, dimensional accuracy can be significantly improved through the elimination of
positioning errors between setups
• Improved surface finish and extended tool life are achieved by orienting the tool to maintain optimum tool-
to-part contact at all times
• Improved access to undercuts and deep pockets - through
tilting the tool or component - allows shorter series tooling to be employed, eliminating the need for secondary setups
• Reduced fixturing, as the cutter can be presented to the component at any required angle
The inherent complexity of 4 and 5-Axis CNC programs
makes their generation virtually impossible without a
powerful CAM system - make Edgecam your choice!
