The study deals with a new machining concept by making use of multi-axis control up to 6-axis control. 6-axis control implies that a cutting tool allows three rotational movements for positioning as well as three translational ones. The 6-axis control machining center developed is equipped with a main spindle capable of tool orientation in addition to conventional 5-axis control structure. A non-rotational cutting tool is mounted at the main spindle to carry out the 6-axis control machining, which allows a variety of machining possibilities. In the study, a 6-axis control machining software for grooving with an asymmetric cross section is presented together with 3-axis to 5-axis control machining.
