In five-axis machining, if the programmed tool paths are free to move, then it may be possible to avoid expensive fixturing.

For example, some CNCs can adjust the location and orientation of the X-Y-Z coordinate system. The part is set up reasonably close to its expected position, with the machine using the spindle probe to measure the part's actual location and orientation. The control then adjusts the machining program's coordinate system accordingly, translating and rotating the coordinate axes to adapt the program to the actual part position. Thus, there is no ...
