Two travel sizes — VX-11i and VX-14i — both with HSK-A63 direct-drive spindles spinning at 18,000–20,000 RPM and full simultaneous 5-axis capability. Complex aerospace and automotive parts, done in one setup. Supplied, installed, and serviced across India by Built Forge India.
Machine five faces of a complex part in a single clamping. Every re-fixture introduces positional error — 5-axis eliminates that problem entirely.
Complex Geometry
Undercuts, drafted walls, compound angles, and organic freeform surfaces that are impossible on a 3-axis machine become straightforward 5-axis operations.
Better Surface Finish
The tool can be tilted to maintain optimal cutting angle and chip evacuation throughout the path — reducing scallop height and improving Ra values on curved surfaces.
Shorter Cycle Times
Shorter tool overhangs mean higher feed rates without chatter. Fewer setups mean less operator time and faster throughput from raw stock to finished part.
RTCP Accuracy
Rotary Tool Centre Point compensation keeps the programmed path accurate as rotary axes move — the machine's geometry is corrected in real time by the controller.
Aerospace to Automotive
Structural brackets, engine housings, impellers, surgical implants, complex die cavities — 5-axis handles India's most demanding precision work across every sector.
A 5-axis CNC machine moves the cutting tool along five axes simultaneously — X, Y, Z (linear) plus A and C (rotary). This lets the tool approach the workpiece from virtually any angle, machining complex curved surfaces and undercuts in a single setup without repositioning. Fewer setups means better geometric accuracy between features and shorter overall cycle times.
In 3+2 (positional 5-axis), the rotary axes are set to a fixed angle and locked while the three linear axes machine. This covers most aerospace and automotive structural parts. Simultaneous 5-axis keeps all five axes moving at once — needed for turbine blades, impellers, and organic surfaces where the tool orientation must constantly change to maintain optimal cutting angle and surface finish.
The VX-11i is available with Fanuc OM-F or Siemens 828D. The VX-14i runs Siemens ONE. Both controllers support full 5-axis RTCP (Rotary Tool Centre Point) compensation, ensuring that the tool tip stays on the programmed path even as the rotary axes move. Specify your preferred controller when enquiring.
5-axis machining is essential in aerospace (structural brackets, housings, turbine components), automotive (complex powertrain and suspension parts), medical devices (implants, surgical instruments), die and mould making (complex cavity profiles), and defence (high-precision weapon and sensor housings). Any part with features on multiple faces or complex curved surfaces is a candidate.
