Our state-of-the-art machine shop features a broad range of machine tools including several 5-axis machining centers. Five axis machining allows for the spindle and/or work piece to be machined on 5 sides (top, front, back, left & right sides). Additionally, can use five axes to simultaneously cut compound angles and other hard to reach surfaces. There are many advantages to this freedom of motion (when compared to 3-axis machining) including:
- Faster removal of material with each tool pass
- Fewer setups to machine complex geometries
- Better surface finishes when machining contours
- Reduction of fixturing tooling
Recent additions to Keller’s lineup of five-axis machining centers include:
Parpas XS 63 five-axis gantry machining center
The Parpas an ideal choice for machining hard-to-reach surfaces and deep cavities. In addition to high speed and the ability to perform heavy-duty machining on hard materials (steel, Inconel, titanium, etc.), the CNC milling tool machines highly complex shapes with a single setup. Highlights include:
- Roughing straight milling head (5,000 RPM)
- Universal indexing right angle head (5,000 RPM)
- Universal five-axis high speed milling head (20,000 RPM)
- X-axis travel = 236”
- Y-axis travel = 118”
- Z-axis travel = 59”
DMG/MORI DMC 210 FD Machining Center
The DMC 210 FD employs a large, stable bridge-type structure for high accuracy and dynamic performance. Productivity is enhanced via 5-sided/5-axis machining with a single setup. FD table with direct drive enabling both machining and turning on one machine. A high-speed pallet changer allows for next process setup during the machining operation. Highlights include:
- powerMaster spindle (12,000 RPM)
- Mill-turn functionality
- 4 wheel tool magazine (243 tools)
- X-axis travel = 82”
- Y-axis travel = 82”
- Z-axis travel = 49”
DMG/MORI DMC 160 U RS6
The DMC 160 U RS6 features a highly stable, actively cooled, and extremely precise duoBlock structure for maximum cutting capacity. Fast and compact 6-pallet rotating pallet changer, and quick tool exchange enhances productivity. Ideal for machining hard-to-cut materials and where surface quality requirements are highest. Highlights include:
- powerMaster spindle (15,000 RPM)
- Mill-turn functionality
- 4 wheel tool magazine (243 tools)
- X-axis travel = 63”
- Y-axis travel = 55”
- Z-axis travel = 43”
