Since coming online in the first quarter of 2021, the new equipment has enabled the company to offer even more to its customers with larger parts, such as structural aerospace components.
“We purchased this machine not only for large aluminium components, but also hard metals such as titanium,” stated Sagar Patel, general manager of Aerotech Machining. “We can now handle parts 32 inches wide and up to 10ft in length. Ultimately, we’re increasing the value that we bring to our customers by offering large 5-axis machining in-house. The VORTEX is powerful, accurate, fast, and the largest of twelve 5-axis machines in our inventory.”
