5-Axis CNC Machining

Full simultaneous 5-axis contouring on the Mazak Variaxis i700 with pallet changer. Complex geometry, compound angles, and undercuts machined in a single setup — eliminating datum shift and maximizing accuracy on flight-critical components.

PlatformMazak Variaxis i700
CapabilityFull simultaneous 5-axis
Ideal forAerospace / defense
OperationLights-out capable
AutomationPallet changer
3-Axis CNC Machining

High-efficiency prismatic and plate work on the Mazak VC-500 vertical machining center with pallet changer. Ideal for production runs, repeat orders, and parts suited to multi-op workflows alongside 5-axis operations.
