Our three axis machine is capable of cutting parts from sheet material as well as machining simple surfaces. Having three axis means the cutter can be moved in the x, y and z axis simultaneously, whilst remaining perpendicular to the bed of the machine. After machining a cusp is left on more complex surfaces which must be sanded afterwards. The SCM Pratix 3 axis machine has a cutting area of 1300 mm x 2500 mm and a height of 300mm.

The 5 axis machine works in a similar way to the 3 axis except that the cutter can be simultaneously moved in an additional two axis (twist and tilt) allowing it to remain perpendicular to the machined surface as opposed to the bed of the machine. It can machine highly complex surfaces to a very fine finish. We have a CMS Ares which has a very large working area of 2.5 metres x 6 metres and a height of .8 metres.
