Unlocking Complex Geometry with 5 Axis CNC Machining Services

Unlocking Complex Geometry with 5 Axis CNC Machining Services

When it comes to complex contours, multi-surface machining, and tight tolerance parts, 5 axis CNC machining is the gold standard. Unlike traditional 3-axis setups, 5-axis machining enables simultaneous movement along all axes, allowing parts to be milled from virtually any angle — in a single setup.

At HKAA, we leverage our fleet of 5-axis CNC machining centers to deliver precision components that meet the most demanding specifications in aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and high-end consumer electronics.

🔧 What Makes 5 Axis CNC Machining Special?

• ✅ Single-setup machining reduces error and improves accuracy

• ✅ Ideal for undercuts, multi-faceted geometries, and angled holes

• ✅ Shorter production times and less tooling interference

• ✅ Better surface finish due to optimal tool angles

• ✅ Reduced need for jigs or fixtures

We work with materials such as titanium, 7075 aluminum, stainless steel, and engineering plastics, ensuring both strength and finish quality.

✅ Case Study: 5 Axis CNC Machining for Aerospace Aluminum Housing

In 2024, HKAA supplied a leading European aerospace supplier with custom 5-axis machined aluminum housings for an onboard avionics system.

Project Summary:

• Material: 7075-T6 aluminum

• Size: 180mm × 120mm × 60mm

• Tolerance: ±0.008mm on all mating surfaces

• Features: multiple sloped cavities, angled mounting holes, internal ribs

• Finish: black anodized

• Volume: 8,000 pcs/year

Using 5-axis machining, we reduced the setup from 4 operations to 1, improved tolerance consistency, and delivered defect-free parts for flight-critical assemblies.
