Axiom Product Development installs two 5-axis machining centres

Axiom Product Development, a Chichester-based machining, tooling and plastic injection moulding business, has taken delivery of two DMG DMU 5-axis machining centres to further increase capacity.

The DMU 50 machines with swivelling rotary tables allow for full 5-axis simultaneous machining to produce intricate components. Axiom intends to use the machines for manufacturing complex jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids for customers from the automotive, defence, aerospace, Formula One, marine and general manufacturing sectors.

Commenting on the investment, Alan Rendle-Eames, managing director, says: “The purchase of these 5-axis machining centres will offer high-tech machining capability with rapid response times for providing high-quality, engineered components across a broad range of sectors. Our experienced and skilled design and machining teams are providing complex manufacturing solutions to a growing number of advanced manufacturing partners, and the addition of these machines will enable us to expand this service even further.”
