CNC Milling

CNC Milling : Our Modern CNC Milling Centers are configured for 3, 4 and 5 Axis CNC Milling

In a typical 3 Axis CNC Milling process, the work piece is movable in the X and Y axes, the spindle/tool is movable in the Z axis (up and down). This is a fairly simply process to program, setup and execute.

The 4th Axis in CNC Milling is a rotational indexer, which now holds the work piece. This offers the 4th rotational Axis.

Of course, we have much more sophisticated true 5 axis machines which can perform contour work in all 5 Axes (yes, here it is Axes not Axis) as in the example below. The true 5th Axis in CNC Milling is when the work piece can be moved around in one more axis simultaneously. This adds significant complexity to the programming process. Complete 5 Axis contour CNC Milling is a very challenging project and it is what we excel at.
