Engineering guides for 3-axis, 5-axis milling, turning, live tooling, and wire EDM.
4-axis CNC milling integrates a precision rotary table (A-axis or B-axis) into a standard 3-axis platform, allowing continuous cylindrical machining and multi-angle indexing in a single setup.
Sinker EDM (Ram EDM) utilizes custom-machined 3D graphite or copper electrodes immersed in dielectric hydrocarbon fluid to spark-erode complex blind cavities, sharp internal corners, and deep ribs.
Swiss-type CNC turning utilizes a sliding headstock and guide bushing where cutting tools engage the stock right at the support point, eliminating bar deflection for ultra-high aspect ratio precision parts.
5-axis CNC milling moves cutting tools or parts across five distinct axes simultaneously, enabling complex organic contours, single-setup manufacturing, and tighter geometric tolerances.
Wire EDM uses a thin, electrically charged brass or molybdenum wire surrounded by deionized dielectric fluid to erode conductive materials with sub-micron accuracy regardless of hardness.
High-Speed Machining (HSM) utilizes elevated spindle speeds, high feed rates, and shallow radial depths of cut to maximize material removal rates while minimizing cutting heat and tool deflection.
CNC turning rotates cylindrical workpieces against stationary or powered cutting tools, producing high-precision rotational features, threads, grooves, and complex shafts.
