5-Axis CNC Machining
Aerospace and complex industrial parts can benefit from multi-sided access. Evaluate whether indexed positioning or simultaneous cutting is needed to reach the required geometry.
Hillary Machinery can help evaluate machine configuration, part size, material, tooling, workholding and production volume. The review should include access to every required feature and the process used to verify the finished component.

Large-Part & Heavy-Duty CNC Machining
Large equipment bases and fabricated assemblies may call for boring mills or bridge mills. Machine capacity should include the fixture, cutting-tool reach and loading arrangement.
Available solutions include horizontal boring mills, vertical turning lathes, large-bore CNC lathes, bridge mills and heavy-duty machining centers. Each offers different advantages for supporting and accessing the workpiece.
Horizontal Boring Mills
Horizontal boring mills provide boring, milling, drilling and tapping capabilities for large housings, machine bases and fabricated assemblies. They can support machining on multiple sides of a component.
For large-part projects serving automotive, aerospace and defense, energy, advanced materials, industrial equipment and fabricated metal products, Hillary Machinery can help evaluate workpiece dimensions and weight, axis travels, spindle reach, table capacity and fixture clearance.

Vertical Turning Lathes & Vertical Turning Centers
Vertical turning equipment supports large-diameter and heavy round parts on a horizontal table or chuck. Potential applications include rings, flanges, hubs, wheels and housings that are difficult to support on a conventional horizontal lathe.
Selection should account for component diameter, height and weight, chuck or table size, spindle torque, required tooling and loading access. Hillary Machinery can help evaluate these requirements for the proposed application.
