A five-axis linkage machining center for composite materials is primarily a five-axis CNC machine. Because it is mainly used by customers to process composite material workpieces, it is simply called a five-axis carving machine for composite materials. It is a machining center with high technological content and high precision, specially used for processing complex curved surfaces. It plays a pivotal role in the aerospace, rail transit and other industries.
Let me introduce the Nobot composite five-axis carving machine from the aspects of structure, performance, and after-sales service!

I. Structure
The composite five-axis linkage machining center is primarily a five-axis CNC machine. It's called a composite five-axis carving machine because it's mainly used by customers to process composite material workpieces. It's a machining center with high technological content and high precision, specifically designed for processing complex curved surfaces. It plays a crucial role in industries such as aerospace and rail transit.
The composite five-axis carving machine mainly adopts a gantry welded steel structure, possessing the excellent milling characteristics of a high-speed milling machine. It can meet the processing needs of customers for workpieces of various sizes and irregular shapes.
II. Performance
The composite five-axis carving machine uses a CNC system to drive the tool movement along five axes, performing five-axis linkage machining around the workpiece. Classic CNC systems include NOBOT and XinDai. NOBOT is a CNC system independently developed by Nobot, comparable to Siemens. Some domestic manufacturers use imported three-axis and self-made two-axis systems for five-axis heads. The NOBOT five-axis system uses a fully imported Italian integrated five-axis head for stable performance.
III. After-sales Service
The composite five-axis carving machine is a high-end equipment. In addition to the equipment quality, after-sales service is also crucial for customers. Nobot provides a one-year warranty for its equipment and offers 24-hour online customer service to answer customer questions promptly. The company has service outlets in Suzhou, Changzhou, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, covering the whole country. If on-site service is required, we can arrive at the customer's location within 24 hours.
Next, let's briefly introduce how the Nobot five-axis machining center processes workpieces. The basic principles remain the same; once you learn one method, you can adapt it to others.
1. Create a digital model of the workpiece.
2. Analyze the digital model, select tools, and program the toolpath.
3. Simulate the machining process and check for interference.
4. Modify the toolpath, simulate the machining process, and repeat steps 3-4 until the toolpath is optimized and interference-free.
5. After securing the workpiece, perform actual machining using the optimized toolpath.
6. Inspect the workpiece for compliance with standards.
7. Create a standard from the optimized toolpath for processing the same type of workpiece, achieving high efficiency.
That's all for today's introduction.

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.
