Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining for Complex Geometries
Single-Setup Machining of Organic Contours, Impellers, and Manifolds
Traditional 3-axis machining requires multiple re-fixturing steps, which introduce cumulative datum errors and increase setup costs. Our 35+ simultaneous 5-axis machining centers eliminate these inaccuracies by tilting and rotating the workpiece while cutting. This permits shorter, more rigid endmills that eliminate deflection, yielding superior surface finishes and true positional accuracy within 0.01mm.
Key Engineering Takeaways
- Full 5-axis simultaneous tool paths for aerospace impellers and complex turbine blisks
- Elimination of complex secondary fixtures, reducing lead times from weeks to days
- Micro-surface finishing directly off the tool down to Ra 0.4μm
