Overview – Making Complex Parts with Extreme Accuracy
Modern industries need multi-axis machining to create high-precision parts that are both strong and complex. Traditional machining can only move in three directions—up and down, side to side, and front to back. But many industries, like aerospace and automotive, need parts with more detail and tighter tolerances.
Multi-axis machining lets machines move and rotate in several directions at once. This helps make detailed parts in a single step, which improves accuracy, speed, and efficiency.
At Krukemeier Machine & Tool, we focus on 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9-axis machining. This allows us to work with both simple and extremely complex parts. We also offer wire EDM, CNC milling, CNC turning, and precision grinding.
Our skilled team and modern facility make sure every part meets top industry standards. This includes AS9100 and NADCAP certifications.
If you need custom prototypes, aerospace parts, or high-performance car parts, we have the tools and skills to help.
What is Multi-Axis Machining?
Multi-axis machining is a method that allows machines to move and cut parts from multiple angles. Traditional machining only moves along three axes:
- X-axis (left to right)
- Y-axis (front to back)
- Z-axis (up and down)
Multi-axis machines add rotational movement, allowing the tool to tilt and turn in different directions. At Krukemeier, we use:
- 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9-axis machining to create detailed, high-precision parts.
- Wire EDM and Ram EDM for extremely fine cuts.
- CNC milling and turning to shape strong materials like titanium, aluminum, and hardened steel.
This advanced technology reduces setup time, improves accuracy, and allows us to make complex parts faster.
Benefits of Multi-Axis Machining
Many industries use multi-axis machining. It creates better-quality parts with less waste and speeds up production times. Here’s why:
- Better precision – Occurs because operators don’t have to move parts between machines, which reduces the chance for mistakes. We achieve ±0.0005” tolerances, making our parts extremely accurate.
- More Complex Shapes – creates deep cuts, curves, and intricate designs that other methods can’t.
- Faster Production – Because we can machine parts in one continuous process, we save time and lower costs.
- Setup- Fewer setups lead to less material waste, keeping costs low.
- Materials – Our machines work with many materials. They can handle lightweight aluminum and strong titanium. They can also work with special alloys used in aerospace and medical fields.
Krukemeier delivers high-quality parts faster and more efficiently than traditional machining.
