4th Axis Milling Services
When the situation / part arises that requires 4th axis capabilities. Aspex stands apart from our competitors with a vast, and versatile collection of indexers, and rotaries. We have three HA5C collet indexers for smaller projects where speed and accuracy are crucial. For larger parts that require a more robust and rigid set up, we have three HRT210 rotories. Having the rotaries, indexers, and tailstocks are just the first set of tools in our 4th axis tool kit. We also have 4th axis capability on all of our milling equipment so we can set up any of our three axis mills with our 4th axis equipment. This allows our schedule to remain flexible and reduce your lead times. Our 4th axis machines are one of the best ways for us to reduce set up time, and load time minimizing unnecessary operations.

FAQs
3 axis machining involves a workpiece in a fixed position while the cutting tool operates along the X, Y, Z plane to cut away material. 3-axis machining is most suitable for parts that do require a lot of depth and detailing
4-axis machining adds movement of the cutting tool and allowing rotation around the X axis. As a result, there are 4 axes X, Y, Z and A rotating around the X axis. The majority of 4 axis CNC machine tools allow the workpiece to rotate, which is called b-axis, so the machine can act as both milling machine and lathe.
5-Axis machining is a process where you take a large block and remove the excess. On a 5-axis machining-center, the cutting tool moves across the X, Y and Z linear axes as well as rotates on the A and B axes to approach the workpiece from any direction.
CNC milling (Computer Numerical Control Milling) is a machining process which utilizes computerized controls and rotating cutting tools to remove material from the workpiece to produce a specific product or part. The process is suitable for machining materials like metal, plastic, glass, and wood, and producing a variety of custom-designed parts and products.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) turning is a machining process where computer-controlled machining tools operate a turning metal lathe removing material on part to reach a desired shape.
CNC machining costs depend heavily on the time needed, complexity, quantity, and size of the part. Complex large parts require longer machining time which increases costs. However, the higher quantities of parts can reduce the set-up costs and unit price.
Coordinate measuring machines (CMM) probes are transducers that convert physical measurements into electrical signals utilizing various measuring systems within the probe structure. CMM probes are a large category of instruments that use different technologies for direct and comparative measurements.
A bar puller also allows a CNC lathe or turning center to be automated which frees the operator to work on other projects. Unlike a bar feeder that pushes a bar through the lathe’s spindle, a puller pulls the bar from the spindle.
