5-Axis Machining

We understand how difficult some parts can be to manufacture. Thats why we make it easy.

More and more pressure is being placed on outsourced manufacturing to deliver better parts faster at a lower cost to the buyer. That is why we recognize that multi-task machining capability is the future of CNC machining and have invested in three 5-Axis Vertical Milling Centers: A Matsuura MAM72-63V and two Matsuura MAM72-35Vs.

The Benefits of 5-Axis Machining:

  • Allows many new design possibilities in unibody structures
    • Structural formats previously only possible via welding, brazing or sheet metal techniques can be fabricated with greatly improved strength, longevity and stability
  • Improved throughput and faster turnaround
    • Automated pallet loading system enables near continuous 24-hour operation
    • Allows for the use of shorter tooling which minimizes tool failure and maximizes machine uptime
    • Eliminates need for most highly-customized tooling and fixtures
    • Reduction in setups and changeovers
    • High limit variable spindle speed and feed rate decreases cycle time
  • Enhanced precision
    • Reduction of setups and changeovers for each part, each representing an opportunity for error or loss of defined reference
    • Improved control in formation of curved or non-linear surfaces (vs. 3-axis)
    • Greater control of parallel and perpendicular dimensions over long formats and large surfaces
    • Ability to machine deep and/or narrow corners and cavities
  • Cost reduction
    • Eliminates need for most highly-customized tooling and fixtures
    • Reduction in setups and changeovers
    • Decrease in estimated scrap rates
    • Reduction of in-process inspections
    • Fewer opportunities for human and cumulative reference location errors
    • Reduced cycle times
    • Minimizes material costs
  • Energy-efficient
    • Smaller overall energy footprint resulting in a "greener" operation
    • Ability for "lights-out" machining on production work
