Cutting Edge — 5-Axis Aerospace

The East Coast's only simultaneous 5-axis envelope.

The Mazak 5-axis multi-tasking machine is the most advanced spindle on the Limpahan floor and the anchor of the AS9100D aerospace programme. Q3 2026 brings 4 more 5-axis machines — a 5x capacity multiplier.

Mazak · Multi-Tasking · Simultaneous 5-Axis

Single-setup precision on aerospace geometry.

Five axes, simultaneous. Programmed in Siemens NX, fixtured once, machined to micron tolerance. Aerospace impeller forms, turbine blades, complex curvature parts — geometry that 3-axis machines cannot produce in a single operation.
