Eliminating Manufacturing Error with Multi-Axis Machining
Complex, Critical Parts Require Precise and Tight Tolerance Machining Techniques
Behind the most complex aerospace and defense parts in the world is multi-axis machining. There is no room for manufacturing error when so much rests on the mission-critical performance of each component, and we ensure our solutions meet or exceed even the most stringent customer and program specifications.
What is Multi-Axis Precision Machining?
Components for aerospace and defense applications are often highly complex and require a range of tolerances, resistances, and exacting measurements. Primus is uniquely positioned to meet these requirements with the use of advanced precision CNC equipment.
Our multi-axis equipment is able to move in up to 7 directions to cut complex angles, produce shapes and arcs, and sculpt various materials.
- Creates improved surface finishes with close cutting that results in fewer vibrations, higher quality, and faster production times
- Requires fewer set-ups, lowering the risk of losing precise alignment for the drilling process
- Reduces cost and production times by cutting material in one place with one machine
