Product details

Overview

The WORKNC Auto5 Module is an advanced software solution designed to automate the conversion of 3-axis toolpaths into smooth, collision-free 5-axis toolpaths. This transformation enhances machining precision and workflow efficiency, enabling manufacturers to utilize short, rigid cutters and complete more of the job in a single setup. By leveraging existing 3-axis toolpaths, the Auto5 Module streamlines the transition to 5-axis machining, reducing the need for multiple electrode burning operations and minimizing setup times.
