Five-axis applications

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 — from airframe structural parts to engine hardware.

What we machine.

Structural brackets

Square billets machined to five faces in two operations on the G300, with bores, threads and deep holes in the same part.

Impellers & blisks

Five-axis simultaneous contouring of blade passages, in aluminium, alloy steel and titanium.

Propeller blades & casings

Contoured surfaces finished at high spindle speed on the tilting-head and cradle-type platforms.

Actuator housings

Multi-face housings with internal features completed on one fixture.

01

Five faces, fewer setups

One datum face, then five faces without moving the part — no stacked error from re-clamping.

02

Deep cavities, long overhangs

Vibration-damped boring holds 8:1 length-to-diameter bores inside deep cavities.

03

Mirror finishes on free-form surfaces

Fast point milling holds reflector-class surfaces without a hand-polish step.
