Complex parts, consolidated operations, repeatable results.
Multi-Axis CNC Machining
Complex parts, consolidated operations, repeatable results. Multi-axis machining at CG Model Tek encompasses 4-axis, 5-axis, and mill-turn technologies that enable us to complete intricate components in fewer setups. By combining rotation, tilting, and live tooling capabilities, we machine parts with multiple faces, compound angles, and complex features — all while maintaining tight tolerances and dimensional integrity.
Multi-Axis Capabilities
- • 4-axis indexed and continuous rotary machining
- • 5-axis simultaneous and 3+2 positional
- • Mill-turn centers with live tooling
- • Horizontal and vertical machining centers with rotary tables
- • Tombstone and pallet systems for batch work
- • Integrated probing and part inspection
Key Benefits
- • Reduced setup time and handling
