5-Axis Milling

AXION LU-400

5-axis vertical machining center from the AXION LU series – integrated 5-axis machining with direct-driven spindle and A/C-axis rotary table.

Our Axion LU-400 is a flexible 5-axis machine, perfectly suited for manufacturing complex parts in a single setup.

Whether it is 5-side machining or complex geometries requiring 5-axis interpolation, with the Axion LU-400 you are always perfectly equipped for all current requirements in machining.

The machine design enables 5-axis simultaneous machining of workpieces or 5-side machining using the integrated hydraulic axis brakes.

Our control systems are Heidenhain iTNC 640 and Siemens 840D, featuring the fastest calculation for 5-axis simultaneous milling.
