5-Axis CNC Machining Texas | Complex Geometry Specialists
Six 5-axis machining centers delivering impossible geometries with precision. Rigid Concepts’ advanced multi-axis capabilities serve aerospace, defense, automotive, and medical device companies across Texas and beyond.
Why Texas Companies Choose Our 5-Axis Machining
Complex Geometries
Undercuts, deep pockets, compound angles, and impossible 3-axis features. Our 5-axis centers machine parts other shops can’t touch, eliminating multiple setups and fixtures.
Superior Surface Finish
Continuous tool orientation maintains optimal cutting conditions across complex surfaces. Achieve 16μin Ra finishes on compound curves that would require extensive hand finishing on 3-axis machines.
Single Setup Manufacturing
Complete parts in one setup with features on five faces. Reduced handling eliminates tolerance stack-up, improves accuracy, and cuts lead times by 40-60% over multi-setup machining.
Our 5-Axis Manufacturing Capabilities
1. Advanced Machine Centers: Six state-of-the-art 5-axis machining centers including Mikron UCP 600 VARIO with 15,000 RPM spindle for precision small parts and high-capacity machines for larger aerospace and defense components.
2. Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining: True 5-axis capability for complex surfacing, impeller manufacturing, and continuous contouring that maintains optimal tool orientation throughout the cutting process.
3. 3+2 Positioning: Indexed positioning for deep hole drilling, pocket machining at compound angles, and accessing difficult-to-reach features with superior rigidity and accuracy.
4. Precision Control Systems: Advanced Heidenhain iTNC 530 and Fanuc 31i-B controls with precision rotary tables featuring trunnion-style A/C axis configuration with ±0.001° accuracy.
5. Automated Systems: Automated tool measurement, breakage detection for lights-out operation, and in-process measurement with Renishaw probing systems ensure consistent quality and productivity.
6. Material Expertise: Aluminum alloys, stainless steel, titanium, exotic super alloys, and engineering plastics. Standard tolerances ±0.005″, tight tolerances to ±0.0005″ with 16μin Ra surface finishes achievable.
