What are 3D 5-Axis Laser Cutting Machines? Imagine a machine capable of cutting intricate shapes and contours with unparalleled precision, from virtually any angle. That's the power of 3D 5-axis laser cutting machines. Unlike traditional 2D or 3D laser cutters, these machines offer enhanced flexibility and versatility, allowing for complex cuts and angles in a single setup.

How Do They Work? At the heart of these machines is advanced laser technology coupled with sophisticated motion control systems. Utilizing multiple axes of motion – typically five – the laser head can move freely in three dimensions while rotating around two additional axes. This freedom of movement enables precise cutting along complex geometries, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and medical industries, among others.

Key Features and Benefits：

Applications：From prototyping and small-batch production to large-scale manufacturing, the applications of 3D 5-axis laser cutting machines are vast and varied. Common applications include Aerospace components， Automotive parts， Medical devices， Architectural elements，Electronics enclosures and Art and sculpture.

The Future of Manufacturing： As technology continues to advance, 3D 5-axis laser cutting machines are poised to play an increasingly pivotal role in the manufacturing industry. With their unmatched precision, flexibility, and efficiency, they are driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in fabrication.

After understanding the basic information about 3D 5-axis, let's take a look at what surprises Jiatai's 3D 5-axis laser cutting machines bring us:

Jiatai Laser has launched two models of 3D 5-axis laser cutting machine and 3D 5-axis H-beam laser cutting equipment.

Jiatai Laser's 3D 5-axis laser cutting machine adopts a five-axis linkage cutting head, which can achieve multi-angle swing cutting, effectively solving problems such as metal hot forming, hole opening, and edge trimming, meeting the manufacturing needs of complex irregular surfaces. It can be widely used in the automotive industry, mold industry, aerospace, or cutting of heterogeneous materials, shortening the R&D cycle of new products, reducing mold cost investment, thereby reducing manufacturing costs, and efficiently and accurately batch processing and trimming.

Intelligent RTCP calibration
Introduction to RTCP calibration: Used to calibrate the accuracy of the five-axis mechanism during equipment debugging, and can ensure accurate cutting positioning during subsequent cutting processes. The specific steps are as follows:
Establish a three-dimensional mathematical model consisting of a cutting head and two swing axes, collect data information using sensors, deduce all horizontal offsets and tilt errors in the model based on specific algorithms, and calibrate and compensate, which is convenient, fast, and accurate (completed within 5 minutes).
Traditional RTCP calibration points require visual observation of the cutting head position, and then manual input of data compensation, which takes a lot of time and has errors (generally 2 to 3 hours).

BCW contour scanning
Due to the deformation of the profile, if it is directly cut according to the drawing, there will be problems such as inaccurate cutting size, risk of collision with the cutting head, inability to cut the profile, and cutting displacement.
The BCW contour scanning function can scan the profile before processing, transmit the data to the processing system in real time, complete point cloud calculation and modeling in real time, and clearly understand the deformation area of the profile, real-time compensation, to ensure smooth cutting.

Seamless integration with Tekla
Design drawings made by Tekla software can be directly imported into the nesting system for layout and transmitted to the equipment for use without conversion.

Circular nesting
It can reasonably cut off the parts and weld the short materials together as a long part, making full use of the tail materials!

Overlapping hole cutting
The hole processing function launched by the Bosch profile cutting system can directly cut the overlapping holes. Through process debugging, different root retention effects can be cut according to requirements.
