Traditionally, 6-axis simultaneous machining means that all 6 axes could do simultaneous machining. This 6-axis simultaneous machining which we are talking about is based on the 5-axis simultaneous machining. It's Turn & Mill compound machining with the new ultra-compact patented turn-mill spindle compact MASTER. This machine could provide 6-sided complete machining by main spindle up to 700 Nm and optional counter spindle. In this way, the machine could provide 6-axis simultaneous machining.
