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.
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.
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.
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.
CNC turning rotates cylindrical workpieces against stationary or powered cutting tools, producing high-precision rotational features, threads, grooves, and complex shafts.
