Aerospace
Compact aluminium fittings one week, large titanium impellers the next. Five-face machining on the G300 and heavy contouring on the cradle-type U series cover both ends of the mix.

Start with the part.
From aerospace brackets to lamp molds — start from the geometry, material and tolerance of your part, and we'll point to the platform and process that fit.
01 / Industries
What we machine.
Automotive
Hubs and engine blocks in steel and cast iron, housings and covers in aluminium. Multi-station hydraulic fixturing keeps several parts clamped per cycle.
Explore Automotive
Mold & Die
Lamp reflectors, mold cores and die-casting tools — free-form surfaces from R3 to R300 mm finished in one cradle setup, without a hand-polish step.
Explore Mold & Die
5G & Telecom
Large filter cavities are deep and feature-dense. Cradle-type five-axis machining opens cavities, narrow slots and threads in a single setup.

Robotics
Die-cast aluminium joints and housings with threads, bores and tapped holes in the same part — five faces in two operations on the G300.
Explore Robotics
Precision Components
Planet carriers, frames and ring parts, run in small batches — where straightness over the full length and concentricity decide the process.
Explore Precision Components02 / Materials
Materials we machine.
6061 Aluminium
Structural parts and housings; high-speed finishing keeps thin walls stable.
7075 Aluminium
High-strength aerospace parts; chip control and tool life need attention.
Die-cast Aluminium
Robot and housing parts; roughing to finishing on one platform.
Carbon Steel
Hubs and heavy blanks; rigid setups keep heavy roughing predictable.
Grey Cast Iron
Engine blocks and carriers; stable cuts with predictable tool wear.
Alloy Steel
Impellers, hubs and planet carriers.
Titanium (TC4)
Impellers and structural parts; high-pressure coolant and controlled cutting forces.
03 / Processes & geometry
The geometry decides the process.
Every part below was cut on a DEPU five-axis platform — these are the recurring problems the processes were built around.
Five faces, fewer setups
One datum face, then five faces without moving the part — no stacked error from re-clamping.
Deep cavities, long overhangs
Vibration-damped boring holds 8:1 length-to-diameter bores inside deep cavities.
Mirror finishes on free-form surfaces
Fast point milling holds reflector-class surfaces without a hand-polish step.
Thin walls, high-speed finishing
Light, fast passes keep thin ribs and frames stable.
Deep ribs and narrow slots
Trochoidal roughing with radial-depth control; taper compensation for slot walls.

Reference cases.
Case 01
Aerospace structural parts on the G300
Square billets machined to five faces in two operations, with deep holes, bores and threads in the same part.
A precision parts maker running high-mix orders across aerospace, robotics and industrial equipment.
- Five-face parts required several machines; stacked error decided the assembly fit.
- Deep holes at an 8:1 ratio had a tendency to drift.
- Thin aluminium walls were unstable at high feed rates.
- OP01 machines the datum face; OP02 reaches the remaining five faces.
- HSK-E50 spindle at up to 24,000 rpm for high-speed aluminium cutting.
- Internal threads, bored bores and deep holes completed on one fixture.

Case 02
Heavy parts on the G630 / G800
Wheel hubs, engine blocks and impellers on one platform — steel, cast iron, aluminium and titanium.
A heavy-equipment manufacturer building parts for NEV and aerospace programmes.
- Engine blocks needed several separate clampings, accumulating positioning error.
- Titanium impellers were slow to cut and hard on tooling.
- Changeover for carriers and frames ran to hours.
- One-clamping machining for engine-block assemblies.
- Heavy roughing on the G800 with a high-torque spindle.
- Five-axis simultaneous finishing of impeller flow passages.

Case 03
Lamp molds and impellers on the U1000
Reflector surfaces and deep filter cavities finished on a cradle table — without a hand-polish step.
A precision mold maker serving automotive lighting and 5G communications.
- Headlamp reflectors needed several stations, accumulating surface error.
- Deep, narrow slots in filter cavities caused tool interference.
- Impeller flow passages dominated the total lead time.
- Cradle-type table: A ±120° / C 360° swings the workpiece to the tool.
- Free-form surfaces from R3 to R300 mm machined in one setup.
- High-speed point milling holds the reflector finish without manual polishing.
