5 Axis CNC Router
At Northern Plastics, our 5-axis CNC dual head router allows us to deliver parts to our customers at higher accuracies, shorter lead times and superior trim finishes.
Why 5-Axis?
5-axis has become the ideal method for trimming and fabrication for many manufacturers because of its unique benefits:
- Faster lead times, thanks to quick setup and less manual production time.
- Advanced technology that utilizes three linear axes and two rotational axes, all engaging at the same time to cut even the most complex geometries.
- Superior Trim Finishes utilizing our dual head router which allows us to trim with more than 1 tool resulting in better part quality.
Northern Plastics’ 5-axis CNC router works with plastics, aluminum, composite, woods and other materials and cuts at a speed of 1500 inches per minute to tackle larger production runs quickly.
