Manufacturing Capability

Why Complex Structures Need Dedicated Capability

5-Axis CNC Machining Complex Structural Part
CAP / 01
5-Axis Simultaneous CNC — All Faces in One Setup
The defining advantage for multi-face structural parts: machining all geometric features in a single 5-axis setup eliminates re-fixture positioning error. For a mounting base with six functional faces, each re-fixture introduces ±0.01–0.05 mm error. One 5-axis setup holds all geometric relationships from a single datum — achieving the ±0.005–0.01 mm inter-face positioning that complex structural parts require.
5-Axis Simultaneous Single-setup all faces ±0.005mm inter-face pos. Tilted plane machining

🎯
High-Flatness Precision Grinding
Surface grinding for base plates and datum faces to ±0.003 mm flatness. Stress-relief anneal before grinding for aluminium and steel plates prevents post-grind distortion. Flatness verified on CMM after grinding.

Thin-Wall & Deep-Pocket Milling
Hollow lightweight structures with wall thickness down to 1.2 mm. Deep-pocket milling with L/D up to 8:1 for cavity frames using vibration-damping toolholders and optimised trochoidal toolpaths.

Large Format Machining — Up to 2,000 mm
Large precision mounting plates and skeleton frames up to 2,000 mm length, 1,200 mm width on horizontal machining centers with thermal compensation. Large parts particularly benefit from stress-relief annealing of plate stock before finish machining — plates cut from rolled stock contain residual stress that causes distortion after material removal. We anneal all aluminium plate stock above 300 mm dimension before precision machining.
