The manufacturing process of JW-U500 5-axis machining center

JW-U500 is a high-performance five-axis linkage machining center, which integrates precision mechanical design, high-quality material selection, advanced processing technology and strict quality control to ensure high stability, high precision and long life of the equipment. Here’s a summary of its core manufacturing processes:

  1. Fuselage structure design and casting process

Finite Element Analysis Optimization: The airframe structure is mechanically optimized through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure high rigidity and low deformation.

High-quality cast iron casting: It is made of high-strength cast iron material and annealed by all-cast iron to eliminate internal stress and improve mechanical stability and vibration resistance.

Gantry skeleton strengthening: The reinforced gantry structure is adopted to enhance the overall rigidity, which is suitable for high-speed and high-load processing.

  1. Five-axis drive system (cradle turntable)

DD Motor: The A/C axis is directly driven by a high-precision torque motor (A-axis swing ± 130°, C-axis infinite rotation), which avoids the backlash problem of traditional gear transmission and improves dynamic response and positioning accuracy.

High rigidity bearing support: The five-axis turntable adopts precision bearings to ensure stable operation under high loads (torque 120/240 N·m for A-axis and 45/135 N·m for C-axis).

  1. High-precision motion system

THK Lead Screws & Rails:

The X/Y/Z three axes are made of Japanese THK brand ball screws (lead 12mm), and the tail end is pre-pulled to reduce the impact of thermal deformation on accuracy (optional closed-loop control of grating scale).

The guide rail adopts 45# high rigidity roller guide rail, which has strong wear resistance and long life.

Servo drive system:

The X/Y/Z axis motors have a power of 3.9 kW, 3.9 kW and 5.9 kW respectively, ensuring high-speed (30m/min) and high-acceleration movements.

  1. Spindle system

High-speed motor spindle (12,000 rpm):

High-precision angular contact bearings are used to optimize the shafting arrangement to ensure low vibration and high rigidity.

Circulating cooling system: The spindle has an integrated cooling channel, with an external water cooler, which can quickly dissipate heat, reduce thermal deformation, and improve processing stability.

BT40 taper spindle, suitable for high-precision cutting, rated power 7.5/11kW, torque 32N·m (S1).

  1. Tool magazine and tool change system

Taiwan brand 24 knife arm type tool magazine:

The tool change time is only 2 seconds, and the maximum tool length is 250mm and the weight is 8kg, which meets the needs of efficient machining.

The high-precision positioning mechanism is used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of tool change.

  1. Lubrication and protection system

Taiwan brand automatic lubrication system: regular and quantitative lubrication of guide rails and lead screws to reduce wear and prolong service life.

Fully enclosed protective cover:

The three axes are equipped with stainless steel guards to prevent the ingress of iron filings and coolant, improving the cleanliness and life of the equipment.

Workbench slope flushing + centralized chip removal, optimize the processing environment, and reduce the need for manual cleaning.

  1. CNC system and electrical control

SYNTEC 220MA-5 CNC System (Taiwan Brand):

The 15-inch color touch screen supports five-axis linkage and four-axis semi-machining, and has high-precision interpolation function.

Combined with Schneider electrical components (Sino-French joint venture), it ensures stable power supply and anti-interference capability.

  1. Assemble and debug the whole machine

Precision assembly process:

Key components (such as lead screws, guide rails, spindles) are detected by laser interferometer + ballbar to ensure motion accuracy.

X/Y/Z axis positioning accuracy 0.005mm, repeatability positioning accuracy 0.003mm; A/C axis accuracy ±8 seconds, repeatability ±6 seconds.

Strict factory test:

Perform dynamic cutting tests to verify machining stability and ensure that the equipment achieves nominal accuracy.

  1. Environmental adaptability and installation requirements

Temperature control: The working environment temperature  is 5~40°C, and it is recommended to install air conditioning to ensure accuracy.

Anti-vibration design: It is required to be far away from vibration sources (such as stamping machines, air compressors), and the height difference of the foundation is ≤ 10mm.

Dustproof and moisture-proof: The ambient humidity is ≤ 80% to avoid corrosive gases and dust.

       Summary: The core process advantages of JW-U500

High rigidity body: Optimize the casting + annealing process to ensure long-term stability.
High-precision five-axis: torque motor direct drive + THK screw guide, accurate positioning.
High-speed spindle: 12,000 rpm motorized spindle + water cooling system, suitable for high-precision cutting.
Efficient automation: 24 tool magazine + 2 seconds tool change to improve production efficiency.
Strict quality control: precision assembly + laser detection to ensure factory accuracy.

The manufacturing process of JW-U500 makes it extremely cost-effective in the fields of 3C digital, precision mold, impeller processing, etc., and is the preferred equipment for small and medium-sized high-precision five-axis machining.
