Why choose 4+1 axis capability?

The trunnion table delivers simultaneous 4-axis positioning with a fixed 5th axis, allowing users to:

  • Machine multiple faces of a part in one setup
  • Perform angular and complex contouring with minimal re-fixturing
  • Reduce cycle times and eliminate human error
  • Increase overall dimensional accuracy and surface finish
  • Improve spindle uptime with fewer setups and faster transitions

Ideal for:

  • Impellers, turbines, and aerospace brackets
  • Medical implants and surgical tooling
  • Automotive moulds and castings
  • High-precision prototyping across various sectors

Supporting industries including:

  • Aerospace – for high-tolerance, contoured parts
  • Medical – where form and finish are critical
  • Automotive – for complex, multi-surface components
  • Energy – for advanced machining of pressure-critical parts
  • Precision Subcontractors – for winning complex, high-value work

When your parts are anything but simple, the Storm VMC with trunnion table gives you the flexibility and confidence to deliver.
