This invention belongs to the technical field of five-axis
machining centers, specifically an insulation device and method for a five-axis
machining center cradle used in
arc welding additive manufacturing. The device includes a turntable base, a worktable surface mounted on the upper surface of the turntable base, and an insulation mechanism mounted on the surface of the turntable base. This insulation mechanism directly insulates and separates the turntable base from the worktable surface. A maintenance mechanism is mounted at the lower end of the turntable base. The insulation device and method for this five-axis
machining center cradle uses an insulation mechanism directly mounted on the turntable base and worktable surface. Insulation and heat insulation are achieved using an insulating pad within the insulation mechanism. A cleaning block with a mesh-like surface is installed on the exposed surface of the insulating pad, and air is blown into the cleaning block through a cleaning
pipe to remove
metal debris adhering to its surface. Simultaneously, the insulating pad is cooled by air, thus preventing any
impact on the use of the insulation mechanism.
