Tool Tech’s new five-axis CNC machining services have increased our efficiency and allowed us to take on an even wider range of parts. By reducing setups and leveraging automation, we can produce complex parts with faster turnaround and lower costs, ensuring a more efficient manufacturing experience for customers. 

Learn how five-axis CNC machining has improved our precision manufacturing.

How Five-Axis CNC Improved Our Efficiency

Our features a ten-station pallet system, allowing us to set up multiple jobs at once and enabling unattended operation. Operations are streamlined through reduced handling and setup time. 

With a 90-tool capacity and redundant tooling, programming time is cut significantly, and we can handle more complex parts than ever before. The result: faster production, fewer errors, and a more predictable workflow for customers.

Increasing Part Range With Five-Axis Machining

With the addition of five-axis machining, our services have expanded to support more complex parts. Five-axis machining is especially valuable for:  

• Complex geometry

• Tight tolerances

• Multi-face features

Tool Tech can now tackle precision machined components that were previously impossible or impractical to quote. We provide more accurate, predictable manufacturing to serve a wider range of industries, customers, and part types. 

This translates to increased flexibility and responsiveness to customer needs.

Reducing Lead Times and Costs for Complex Parts

Our initial investment in five-axis machining supported an aerospace project with a three-year contract. Previously, manufacturing this part required multiple machines and castings that were difficult to procure. 

Now, the part can be machined from aluminum bar stock in a single setup, saving time and material costs. 

Improved Quality Through Five-Axis Automation

Thanks to our new machine, customers also experience even more consistent quality. This is due to the machine’s Renishaw probing system that uses automated technology to live-inspect critical dimensions and monitor tool wear. 

The system allows us to catch errors before parts leave the machine, ensuring consistent, high-quality results while reducing the need for manual inspections and rework.

Maximizing Output and Accuracy Around the Clock

With lights-out capabilities, our five-axis machine can run overnight and on weekends, allowing us to focus on new parts and rush orders during the day. 

Customers benefit from a shop that can produce more parts, more accurately, across a broader range of industries, including , high-tech, medical, and defense.
