Five-Axis Machining of Hard Metals

Five-Axis, Five-Sided Machining of Complex, Hard Metal Parts
For demanding aerospace, oil and gas, and other applications that require precision machining of hard metals from steel to titanium, the Cincinnati HMC 800 from Fives delivers accuracy, rigidity and reliability by combining high spindle torque and power with superior dynamic machine stiffness.

Large Part Machining of Hard Alloys and Titanium
The UA2090Ti 5-axis VMC from JTEKT Toyoda has a two-axis tilting head, high-torque A and B axes with gear-driven design, and hybrid box and linear guideway construction that are ideal for large part machining of titanium and hard alloy components.

Ultrafast Heavy Cutting of Difficult Superalloys
The HARVI Ultra 8X helical milling cutter from Kennametal can plow through difficult aerospace superalloys for nearly three minutes straight without flinching to deliver outstanding results and extended tool life at increased speeds and feeds.

Effectively Machine Parts for Both Internal Combustion and Electric Automobiles
Through wide flexibility to efficiently handle demanding higher mix, lower volume production, PCI Meteor horizontal machining centers from Absolute Machine Tools meet the requirements of high performance automotive production lines.

Laser Machining of Complex Parts from Diamond and Composite Materials
For 3D toolmaking and aerospace work, the 5-axis LCS 305 Laser MicroJet cutting system from Synova cuts and shapes large and multi-tooth diamond tools, resulting in smooth cutting surfaces and sharp edges for PCD, SCD, natural diamond, tungsten carbide or other ultra-hard materials.

Innovative Software Functions that Improve 5-Axis Machining Strategies
New capabilities in VISI CAD/CAM, Edgecam 2018 R2 and WorkNC from Vero Software radically increase modeling and toolpath efficiencies.

High Performance Machining of the Most Difficult-to-Cut Materials
