Precision Milling (3 and 5-axis CNC)
Milling operations through chip removal
Milling is a chip removal process performed using a rotating cutting tool, allowing us to machine virtually any type of material and produce shaped components with highly complex profiles.
3-AXIS CNC MACHINING
3-axis machining centers represent the first evolution from traditional milling machines and operate along the X, Y, and Z axes to process the workpiece.
This technology is often used in multi-step workflows, where the part must be transferred across different workstations.
5-AXIS CNC MACHINING
5-axis machining allows complete operations in a single setup, as five surfaces of the component are machined simultaneously along five distinct axes: X, Y, Z, and two rotational axes (A and B or C).
With 5-axis positional machining, operator intervention is not required during repositioning, ensuring high accuracy across different faces of the part.
Simultaneous 5-axis machining enables the interpolation of all five axes at once, making it possible to produce components with complex geometries—such as propellers, blades
ADVANTAGES OF 5-AXIS MACHINING IN PRECISION MILLING
This advanced technology offers three main benefits:
- Manufacturing of complex shapes and profiles through a single program
- Increased machining and production speed
- Greater precision due to the elimination of part repositioning across multiple workstations
