Our CNC Milling Capabilities
3-Axis Milling
This is the most basic type, suitable for flat and simple 3D surface machining. The workpiece can only move along the X, Y, and Z axes.
4-Axis Milling
An additional rotational axis (usually the A or B axis) is added, allowing the workpiece to rotate around one axis. It is suitable for complex geometries and angles.
5-Axis Milling
The workpiece can move along five axes (X, Y, Z, and two rotational axes). This type is ideal for very complex parts, such as those used in aerospace and medical devices.
Vertical Milling Machine
The spindle is perpendicular to the worktable surface, making it suitable for machining larger and heavier workpieces.
Horizontal Milling Machine
The spindle is parallel to the worktable surface, suitable for machining long, bar-shaped workpieces and multi-surface machining.
Gantry Milling Machine
It features a large gantry frame, making it suitable for machining extremely large workpieces and complex shapes.
