Why is there such a wide price range when inquiring about the price of a five-axis machining center?
Published Time:

The mobile positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy cannot be seen on the image or during operation; only testing can determine the machine tool's positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy. The key is whether the positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy of the CNC machine tool remain stable after two or three years of use. In this aspect, Nobot's five-axis machining center performs exceptionally well.
Domestically, both domestically produced and foreign-made machining centers are available. We know that, for the same configuration, foreign-made machining centers are more expensive than domestically produced ones. Next, Xiaonuo will explain why there is such a large price difference in machining centers and where the main differences lie.
One, Movement Positioning Accuracy and Repeat Positioning Accuracy
Movement positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy cannot be seen in images or during operation; they can only be determined through testing. The key is whether the positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy remain stable after the CNC machine has been used for two or three years. In this aspect, Nobot five-axis machining centers perform exceptionally well.
Two, Drive Technology
There are two common types of drives for linear three-axis systems: rolling ball screw drives and linear motor drives. Most machining centers use rolling ball screw drives for their linear three-axis systems, while fewer use linear motor drives. Although linear motor drives are more efficient than rolling ball screw drives, linear motors are more expensive, resulting in higher costs for machining centers that use them.
Three, Maximum Machining Dimensions
The maximum machining dimensions refer to the travel range. Machining centers with different travel ranges have different prices; the larger the travel range, the higher the price.
Four, Numerical Control (NC) System
The NC system is the core component of a machining center; it controls the movement of all components, acting like the brain. Well-regarded NC system brands include Mitsubishi (Japan), Siemens (Germany), and Syntec and BaoYuan (Taiwan). These brands each have their own advantages. Domestic NC systems currently cannot compare to these internationally renowned brands, so machining centers using these systems are generally better and more expensive than those using domestic NC systems.
Five, Tool Magazine Type
As is well known, there are three types of tool magazines: turret-type, disc-type, and chain-type. Vertical machining centers typically use turret-type or disc-type tool magazines; chain-type tool magazines are rarely seen in vertical machining centers and are more commonly used in horizontal machining centers. Turret-type tool magazines are cheaper than other types but have slower tool changing speeds. Disc-type and chain-type tool magazines generally have tool changing speeds of around 4 seconds, while turret-type tool magazines take around 8 seconds. Now you know why you get different quotes from different manufacturers.
Currently, Nobot Intelligent Equipment is one of the domestic manufacturers with better quality. Nobot's China production base is located in the beautiful water city of Liaocheng High-tech Development Zone in northern China, with 120,000 square meters of self-owned factory buildings.
It is a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales, and service, with main products including various articulated industrial robots, intelligent automated warehouses, stacker cranes, AGVs, and non-standard automated equipment integration based on industrial robots AGV小车以及基于工业机器人的非标自动化设备集成。

Nobot was invited to attend the Belt and Road International Exchange Conference
On July 28, 2024, the 2024 Liaocheng "Belt and Road" International Exchange Conference and the Unveiling Ceremony of the Central Asia International High-end Talent Joint Training Base were held in the Liaocheng High-tech Zone University Science and Technology Park. Professor Tursunbayev Zaporotot, President of Osh Technological University of the Kyrgyz Republic and corresponding academician of the Kyrgyz Academy of Engineering, and Academician Smaylor Erta of the Kyrgyz Academy of Engineering and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, among other experts and scholars from "Belt and Road" countries, participated in the event. Liaocheng Deputy Mayor Wang Gang and Zhang Ya, Party Secretary and Director of the Management Committee of the High-tech Zone, attended the event and delivered speeches.
This training event not only provided a valuable learning opportunity for company managers and key personnel, but also built a platform for communication and sharing. During the training, everyone actively interacted and discussed enthusiastically, exploring effective ways to improve management capabilities together. Through this training, everyone has gained rich knowledge and skills, but more importantly, it has inspired confidence and motivation for the future.
How to use a five-axis machining center efficiently? Today, let's learn a few practical steps!
When using a five-axis machining center, the equipment must first be adjusted to ensure that the workpiece and fixture dimensions precisely match, and that the zero points of each axis are accurately adjusted.
Why do composite materials require 5-axis CNC machining?
Composite materials are widely used in various fields such as aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, energy storage, infrastructure, marine, pipelines and tanks, sports and entertainment, and transportation due to their light weight, high fatigue resistance, and strong fracture resistance. Among them, aerospace and automotive industries are the largest application markets for composite materials. Five-axis CNC plays an important role in the processing of composite materials. Why do composite materials need to be processed using five-axis CNC?
Dual-station five-axis machines offer several significant advantages. First, while one station is being machined, the other can be used for material loading and unloading, ensuring continuous, non-stop machining and significantly improving production efficiency. Second, the dual-station design makes operation more convenient and reduces waiting time. However, dual-station five-axis machines typically cost more than single-station machines and may require more operating and maintenance space.
