Five-axis applications

Automotive

Wheel hubs and engine blocks in steel and cast iron, housings and covers in aluminium. Multi-station hydraulic fixturing keeps several parts clamped per cycle, and heavy roughing stays predictable on rigid setups.

What we machine.

Wheel hubs

Multi-station hydraulic fixturing, several parts clamped per cycle; carbon steel and aluminium.

Engine blocks

Large cast-iron and aluminium blocks held for single-clamping machining.

Gearbox housings

Multi-face features completed in one setup on the tilting-head U series.

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.

04

Thin walls, high-speed finishing

Light, fast passes keep thin ribs and frames stable.

Bring the part. We'll bring the process.

Tell us the geometry, material and tolerance — we'll map it to a platform and a first-pass process.
