5-Axis Machining
More Axes, More Brilliant Solutions.
5-axis machining isn’t just about cutting—it’s about expanding what’s possible. With the ability to move the cutting tool across three linear axes (X, Y, and Z) while tilting and rotating on the A and B axes, our 5-axis capabilities allow us to machine complex geometries in a single setup. This means reduced labor, minimized setups, and tighter tolerances, making it the perfect solution for industries like aerospace and medical where precision is paramount.
Complexity? Sounds Fun to Us.
Tackling imaginative or cutting-edge products requires more than just advanced machinery—it demands expertise and experience. Guided by our seasoned machinists, our 5-axis capabilities empower us to manufacture intricate components, such as a complex oil pan for a race car engine, with tolerances as tight as ±.001. By utilizing strategies like tabbing, we machine all surfaces in a single operation and remove tabs at the end, delivering fully machined parts with fewer setups and greater accuracy.
A 5-Axis machine allows for efficient handling of intricate designs to achieve complex geometries without multiple setups, reducing production time and errors.
Beyond 3-Axis: Our Process & Technology
We utilize our 3-axis and 4-axis machines too, but the 5-axis machining provides countless possibilities for part sizes and shapes that were previously unachievable.
DMG Mori
DMU65 Monoblock
Our DMG Mori DMU65 Monoblock 5-axis machine is at the forefront of our capabilities, offering a 28” x 25” x 22” work envelope with full simultaneous motion. With features like an 18,000 RPM spindle and a 60-station tool changer, we achieve superior efficiency and accuracy, even on the most complex parts. This advanced machine allows us to minimize setups and maintain critical reference points, ensuring precision from start to finish.
