As a leader in providing machining services to Adelaide businesses for over 30 years, thriving SA-based company Attard Engineering is excited about landing the latest addition to their stable, a new simultaneous 5-axis vertical machining centre.
The manufacturer Mazak explains on their website that the Variaxis j-500/5X vertical machining centre is a “high-value solution for those considering simultaneous 5-axis technology for the first time”.
Impressively it includes a high-precision rotary/tilt table, plus processes from raw material input through to final machining extremely efficiently. By reducing the need for multiple setups, the Variaxis j-500/5X can significantly reduce turnaround while at the same time improving accuracy. The process of 5-axis CNC machining (otherwise known as 3D machining or 5-axis milling) involves the traditional use of axes X, Y and Z but incorporates the added axes A and B, allowing the working of parts from five angles simultaneously.
With the world-leading latest in 5-axis machining innovation, Attard Engineering will be simply and easily providing solutions to parts and shapes that were not previously possible.
Being committed to providing a professional, efficient and cost effective service that supplies quality products “on time”, Attard Engineering has taken their CNC machining service to a whole new level.
