MultiTasking 5+ axis

5+ axis machining provides infinite possibilities as to the part sizes and shapes you can effectively process. The term “5-axis” refers to the number of directions in which the cutting tool can move. On a 5-axis machining center, the cutting tool moves across the X, Y and Z linear axes as well as rotates on the A and B axes to approach the workpiece from any direction. In other words, you can process five sides of a part in a single setup.

Multi-Tasking machines are extremely effective because of their ability to mill and turn part features with high accuracy and high quality, while cutting down on the number of machines required in a manufacturing facility and reducing labor cost per part.

We offer a wide and diverse selection of Multi-Tasking machines with differing capabilities. So whether you are producing small parts with unit cycle times of under a minute, or large, complex components that require a full week of machining, we have a solution to boost your efficiency, flexibility and productivity.

To ensure you have the right level of Multi-Tasking technology for your facility, we have developed 5 Levels of Multi-Tasking to fulfill your specific part machining needs.

At this highly advanced stage of Multi-Tasking, we take machines from Level 4 and equip them with specialized Ultra-Tasking functions, such as gear cutting, honing, grinding and polishing, so you can machine the most demanding and complex parts in a single setup. Also at this level, complete Multi-Tasking automation via our PALLETECH System lets you achieve fully automated, unattended production.
