January 12, 2024Introducing our new 5-axis machine
By Jack Watson
Advancing forward
Our work as a one-source solution of precision industrial equipment is not possible without the very best team, equipment, and partners.
A lot has changed in the 75 years HFW Industries has been in business, but one thing that has remained constant is our continuing investment in our people, equipment, and capabilities.
Our recent purchase of this new Haas UMC 750 is the latest example of that.
Machine Capabilities
This Haas UMC 750 mill is our first five axis machine, and it helps to expand our extensive machining capabilities.
The big advantage with the 5-axis machine is the ability to machine multiple sided parts in one setup. What does this mean for you?
The primary benefits of our 5-axis mill for our customers like you:
- Minimizes setups and improves turnaround time
We know lead-time is a primary concern for many customers. This machine helps us in our commitment to turning around quality work as quickly as possible.
- Higher accuracy and precision
Tight tolerances have long been a strong suit for HFW, and this machine enhances that on complex equipment.
- Cost efficiency
- Not only does our new mill help reduce lead-time, it also makes us more competitive on jobs we may not have been in the past.
