5-Axis HMCs Built for Aerospace Precision
June 1, 2026
Kent CNC offers KHS 5-axis HMCs that are built for aerospace precision.
"With high-torque spindles, full 5-axis contouring, and ultra-rigid construction, they handle titanium, Inconel, and superalloys with ease," said a Kent spokesperson. "A high-performance rotary table delivers the elevated RPM needed for turning small or large parts-perfect for aluminum and high-SFM applications."
Key features include:
- Engineered for aerospace superalloy processing: Designed with a high-power, high-torque spindle, this machine boosts material removal rates-reducing overall machining time, the company reported.
- High-rigidity T-shaped structure: The base features an inverted dual V-shaped rib design, enabling optimal force flow distribution. Full-length support of the X-axis travel prevents deflection and sagging due to gravity, maintaining improved surface finish and workpiece accuracy.
- High-speed dual ball screw drive on all axes: The X, Y, and Z axes are driven by dual high-speed ball screws. This configuration maintains alignment between the center of motion and the center of mass, effectively minimizing vibration and enhancing machining precision.
- Fully enclosed splash guard: Minimizes noise while effectively containing chips and coolant, offering a cleaner and safer work environment.
- High-torque B-axis clamping system: With a clamping torque of 6,000 Nm, this system offers high rigidity for demanding machining operations.
- AGA spindle purpose-built for superalloy processing: Equipped with a high-torque spindle (up to 500 Nm, optional), this configuration is specially designed for efficient, stable cutting of tough superalloys.
