The Haas UMC-500 is a | The Haas UMC-500 is a 5-axis milling capable of accurately cutting both ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as an assortment of plastics and dense modelling foams. It uses a spinning cutting tool such as an endmill or drill to remove material from the parent stock, leaving the finished part at the end. | ||
Typical vertical CNC mills can work in three axes: Z, up and down; X, left to right; and Y, front to back. This 5-axis machine adds two rotary axes, B and C, to allow access to five out of six sides of a cube in one setup - that is without taking the workpiece out and repositioning it in the machine. This allows much faster prototyping and faster turnaround times for one off parts. | Typical vertical CNC mills can work in three axes: Z, up and down; X, left to right; and Y, front to back.
