5-axis machining offers boundless potential for effectively processing parts of various sizes and shapes. The term "5-axis" denotes the versatility of the cutting tool's movement. On a 5-axis machining center, the tool traverses the X, Y, and Z linear axes while also rotating along the A and B axes, enabling it to approach the workpiece from multiple angles. Essentially, this means you can machine five sides of a part in one setup.
Horizontal Machining, or milling, utilizes rotary cutters to extract metal from a workpiece. This process takes place on a horizontal machining center (HMC), featuring a spindle parallel to the ground floor. With the spindle oriented horizontally, tools extend from the side of the tool holder and cut across the workpiece's side, promoting chip removal away from the table. Additionally, horizontal machining centers often incorporate two-pallet changers, enabling unattended operation and minimizing part cycle times.

The Mazak SYNCREX Swiss-Type Production Turning Machines excel in high-speed production of small, precise parts. These machines revolutionize productivity through cutting-edge technologies, including the 15" touch-panel MAZATROL SmoothSt CNC featuring a full mechanical keyboard. Additionally, the machines incorporate High-Damping Composite Casting (HDCC) bases, enhancing rigidity, minimizing thermal distortion, extending tool life, and improving surface finishes.
Turning is a machining technique employed to create cylindrical parts by moving a cutting tool linearly while the workpiece rotates. Typically executed using a lathe, turning involves reducing the diameter of the workpiece to meet specific dimensions and achieve a polished surface finish. A turning center, equipped with computer numerical control (CNC), enhances this process by offering precision control. Advanced turning centers are capable of conducting various milling and drilling operations in addition to turning.
Vertical Machining, or milling, utilizes rotary cutters to eliminate metal from a workpiece. This process is carried out on a vertical machining center (VMC), which features a spindle oriented vertically. With the spindle positioned vertically, tools extend directly downward from the tool holder and frequently cut across the top surface of the workpiece.
