5-Axis Return on Investment Worksheet

Written by Mike Cope | Fri, Jan 25, 2013

If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that the addition of 5-axis technology can positively impact a company’s bottom line, even in shops that only run "3-axis work." On average, shops who take advantage of this technology have seen improvements of 20% to 30% in efficiency. Imagine what would a 20% to 30% reduction in cycle time and setup time on a part that you are already running in your shop would mean to you.

The secret is in the optimization of the entire process. In addition to the obvious savings of performing only one single setup on the machine, all of the rapid moves, part orientations, and tool changes have also been optimized. In most cases, the result is a noticeable decrease in both setup time and cycle time, which translates to a positive impact on profits!
