Multi-Axis Machining Services
3, 4 and 5-Axis CNC Milling
Mahuta Tool provides multi-axis milling services specializing in prototyping and short-run production. Our multi-axis machining center provides 3, 4, and 5-axis milling to businesses in Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest, nationwide and Canada.
What is the Difference Between 3-Axis, 4-Axis and 5-Axis CNC Milling?
In CNC machining, the axis refers to the number of motors operating individually to position the tool.
A basic vertical milling center has 3 axes (X, Y, and Z) and is used to machine planes or convex shapes. 3-axis milling is used for hole drilling, slot milling, and making sharp edges.
A 4th axis adds rotary movement in order to machine features on an arc or curved surface (for example machining a gear). 4-axis machining can be used for a wide range of applications including turbine components, valves, sockets, construction equipment and much more.
4-axis machining is more efficient and precise than performing the same operation manually using conventional 3-axis milling equipment.
5-axis machining includes an additional rotational axis to that of a 4-axis machine. The 5th axis in 5-axis milling machine is around the B-axis, which rotates around the Y-axis in the X-Y-Z plane. This multidimensional rotation and tool movement allows for B-axis precision, finish and speed at the highest level in the production of a piece.
5-axis machining is the most accurate and efficient machining process, allowing us to can create very complex parts with quicker run times. 5-axis machining is important for high-level uses, such as aerospace and power generation applications.
Vertical & Horizontal Multi-Axis Milling
We use vertical 5-axis CNC milling to produce components and equipment ranging from turbines and engine parts to fittings and spacers. We work to close tolerances of +/-.0001”. We have an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. Our shop is Mil-Spec compliant.
Materials used in 5-axis machining include a wide variety of metals and plastics, meeting the needs of practically any project.
We provide parts for a wide variety of industries:
