How to choose robot and 5 axis cnc machine center 

 According technology developement now Industrial 4.0 AI time coming .robot can be widely used many different industries .

many people difficult to choose robot and cnc machine center . this aritical will give you some suggestions for you reference 

1. what's the Task for 5 axis cnc and robot 

   5 axis means XYZAC axis five axis it can be A+_120 c AXIS +_220 degree to rotary to mill material .material no limit .such as styrofoam, eva foam pvc .plastic , aluminum hard wood fiberglass cabon material honeycomb etc non-metal material  .to use g code to meet your requirments . 

   

   
   

   1· Milling — Controlling a rotary milling tool to progressively remove layers of material.

   2· Drilling — Positioning a spinning drill bit to create holes in a material.

   3· Turning — Controlling a static tool to remove material from a spinning workpiece.

   4· Broaching — Controlling a static broaching tool to cut polygonal shapes into a spinning or static workpiece.

   5.Sawing — Controlling a spinning saw tool to cut lines in a workpiece.

   
   

   2. what is the robot task 

   
   

   
   

   
   

   1· Machining — Many of the same tasks that CNC machines can do can also be done by a robot… but not all. This capability may be the reason that some people fail to recognize the differences between robots and CNC machines.

   2· Pick and place — Moving objects around the workspace.

   3· Welding — Spot welding, arc welding, resistance welding… all are achievable with robots.

   4· Sorting — A type of pick and place which requires added sensing to detect the type of object.

   5· Painting — Practically any process task which involves moving a tool along a path is suitable for robotics.

   6. Sanding -using CCD or professional laser to scan dot then sanding especially for aeroplane parts transformer ship etc 

   3. What's the precision for the robot and 5 axis cnc router 

   suntec 5 axis cnc router precision can be 0.1mm it consist of many parts to install . heavy duty structure table legs gantry ,this all welded by large steel tube inside with enforced steel piece as below picture  then used 5 axis cnc machine center to mill to make sure high precision . heat  treatment 24 hours nature dry outside to delete itself rigidity then sanding table some used welde structure some used cast iron table whole machine weight 16000kgs so make sure no vibrating when working and make sure high precision  so according customer requirments and size also can be customized ST-1325 1300*2500*1000mm ST-2030 2000*3000*1000mm ST-2040 2000*4000*1000MM ST-3050 3000*5000*1000MM ST-10m length 5 axis cnc router etc .all suntec 5 axis cnc finished used Reinshaw laser to test itself precision to make sure all 0.1mm before leave factory .

   Robot is 6 axis itself ,you need install spindle rotary or square rails to reach 7 axis or 8 axis cnc to satisfy you need according working method . 

   but robot no height limit ,it arm can reach 2000mm height ,it according working material size and weight to choose right robot now hot sale for 3d carving wood foam KUKA-210-2700is hot sale . it can be install rotary table if your material within 2500mm diameter . arm rotary can be reached . if above 2500mm it need square rails  robot can move up and behind to reach material to work . it precision for 0.5-1mm . but saving labor cost and managermant . one workers can operate 6-7 robot , improve working effiency . 

   
   

   
   

   
   

   

   4. What software for the robot and 5 axis cnc 

   5 axis cnc router use powermill  ug mastcam etc software to make g code cnc machne read .The CAD model is loaded into the CAM software and tool paths are created based on the required geometry of the manufactured part. Once the tool paths are determined, the CAM software creates machine code that instructs the machine as to how fast to move, how fast to turn the stock and/or tool, and the location to move in a 5-axis X, Y, Z, A and B coordinate system.

   robot need sprutcam software to make robot read itself program to proceed it .

   5. what cost of 5 axis cnc and robot 

     5 axis cnc router machine price differ according configurations spindle size table etc from $68000-300000 robot cost also differ that price some cheaper according whether you need additonal function or not and different indsutry different price . 

   so 5 axis cnc and robot all have itself advantage , you can according your requirment to choose .
