5-Axis CNC milling for complex, multi-sided components.
5-axis machining on a Haas UMC-750 supports geometries that would require multiple setups on 3-axis equipment. Fewer setups means tighter feature-to-feature relationships, shorter lead times, and a more repeatable production process.

What this process is for.
Simultaneous and 3+2 indexing strategies depending on part geometry and surface requirements.
Fewer fixtures and setups, reducing stack-up tolerance and improving feature alignment.
Production runs supported with documented setups, in-process checks, and CMM verification.

Engineering FAQs
The questions engineering and procurement teams ask most often before a first quote.
What's the working envelope on your 5-axis?
The Haas UMC-750 supports a 30" × 20" × 20" envelope with full simultaneous 5-axis motion. Larger envelopes may be possible in 3+2 strategies — confirm at RFQ review.
Do you run 5-axis for production or just prototypes?
Both. Prototype work runs alongside repeat OEM production programs, with documented setups and in-process inspection for repeatability.
What materials run well on 5-axis?
We routinely machine aluminum, stainless, titanium, Inconel, and tool steels. Material selection is reviewed during DFM along with feature geometry and finish requirements.
Can you hold tight feature-to-feature tolerances across multiple sides?
Yes — that's a primary advantage of 5-axis. Specific tolerances are confirmed during quote review based on geometry, material, and inspection requirements.
