The right answers matched to each process
Yes, our 5-axis equipment is specifically designed for difficult-to-machine materials. We have extensive experience machining Inconel, titanium alloys, Hastelloy, and other superalloys commonly used in the aerospace and energy industries.
Choose 5-axis machining for complex 3D surfaces, deep cavities with small radii, undercuts, or when the highest precision is needed on multi-feature parts. 5-axis excels on impellers, turbine blades, sculptured surfaces, and any geometry requiring simultaneous rotary and linear axis movement.
In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates while the tool remains stationary, suitable for cylindrical parts such as shafts, pins, and sleeves. In CNC machining, the workpiece is stationary while the tool rotates, ideal for flat, prismatic and complex 3D geometric shapes.
Power tools refer to rotating electrically driven tools mounted on the turret that can perform drilling, milling, and eccentric feature machining while the workpiece is held in the spindle. This eliminates the need for secondary operations, allowing complex parts to be completed in a single setup.
Standard turning supports a maximum slenderness ratio of 10:1. For longer, finer parts (exceeding 10:1), CNC lathes with center support are recommended to ensure high accuracy.
Yes, we machine internal and external threads via single-point turning, thread milling, or tapping. We support UNF, UNC, metric, and custom thread profiles.
Conventional lathes with live tooling have limited milling capabilities—typically restricted to drilling and light milling. True 5-axis machining centers feature full milling capability, equipped with a C-axis, Y-axis, and multiple tool stations, enabling complex operations such as pocket milling, profile milling, and helical milling on turned components.
Parts that combine cylindrical turning profiles with milling features (such as flats, grooves, holes, hexes, and contours) are best suited. Examples include valve bodies, pump shafts with keyways, joint housings with bolt holes, and manifold blocks.
Yes, our lathe-milling machines feature a sub-spindle for backend machining. Parts transfer automatically from the main spindle to the sub-spindle for additional turning, drilling, and milling on the other end.
Choose turning-milling for complex parts with tight positional tolerances. It eliminates re-fixturing errors, reduces lead time, and lowers total cost.
