5 Axis Machining
Simultaneous multi-axis for reduced setups and superior surface finish.
5-Axis CNC Machining
Simultaneous multi-axis for reduced setups and superior surface finish. CG Model Tek's 5-axis machining centers enable us to produce the most complex aerospace geometries with continuous tool orientation and minimal repositioning. By controlling all five axes simultaneously, we achieve unmatched surface quality, tighter tolerances, and faster cycle times for your most demanding components.
