5-Axis Laser Cutting
Wenzel Metal Spinning takes another step forward with new technology
Today’s manufacturers face a balancing act: how to produce complex designs with flawless accuracy, without sacrificing speed or cost efficiency. That’s why Wenzel Metal Spinning, Inc. has invested in 5-axis laser systems - a next-generation solution that integrates seamlessly with spinning operations to cut lead times, boost accuracy, and expand our production capabilities. If you’re curious about 5-axis laser cutting, also known as 3D laser cutting, for your metal spinnings, we have what you need to know.
What Is a 5-Axis Laser & Why Does It Matter in Metal Spinning?
Unlike traditional 2D or “flat lasers,” a 5-axis laser machine operates on five axes: X, Y, Z (linear movement), and A, B (rotational axes). This allows the laser head to move in multiple directions and cut on curved or angled surfaces with precision, making it the perfect tool to finish spun parts.
Key Capabilities of 3D Laser Cutting for Spun Parts
1. Precision Trimming of Spun Part
After forming, some metal spinnings require an additional trimming step for dimensional accuracy and performance. A 5-axis laser allows precision trimming on complex geometries, whether it's aluminum, stainless steel, or carbon steel.
2. Complex Cutouts and Holes on Curved Surfaces
Whether you need holes, slots, or intricate patterns cut into round, conical parts or spun parts, a 5-axis laser can cut directly on spun or curved surfaces—without laborious secondary fixtures or machining.
3. Fast!
Because the 5-axis lasers combine multiple setups, like trimming and hole piercing, they significantly increase throughput—ideal for metal spinnings low-to-medium volume production.
