5 Axis CNC Machining

5 Axis machines offer several advantages over other CNC tools as a better surface finish can be obtained by moving the tool tangentially about the surface and therefore more complex parts can be manufactured.

The Multiax L Series 5 Axis machine is big enough to produce the sort detail on models our clients require. The machines working envelope is 8000mm x 4000mm x 2000mm and we have a range of cutters and knowledge to cut anything from foams to aluminium. 

The Breton Hawx E1 has a working area of 4200mm x 2100mm x 1300mm and with a linear scale measuring system on X,Y & Z axis it will achieve very high repeatable movements.

Cutting edge CAM software completes the package and enables us to quickly generate complex tool paths based on the object data. Radio probing and tool setting and an automatic tool changer ensures that we are quick to set up and start machining and our knowledge of materials and processes ensure that we cut accurately with minimum time wastage.

Machining Step-Overs Visual Aid

Machined PU foam and EPS with exactly the same model but using different tools and different step overs to illustrate the finish straight out of the machine with no hand finishing .

The image and engraved details serve as a quick reference guide for what to expect when discussing finishes.
