HMC
HMC Solutions Focused on Your Goals
Methods delivers for our customers by offering superior products that incorporate our engineering experience to deliver more value and optimal ROI.
Imported from the world’s leading manufacturers, reliability comes standard with our 3-axis and 5-axis horizontal machining centers, reducing annual care and maintenance.
3-Axis Horizontal CNC Machines
Our 3-axis horizontal machines can be used for machining and tooling parts that range from medical implants to precision aerospace components. Because of their versatility, businesses turn to 3-axis horizontal machines for their advantages over vertical machining centers when cutting large or heavy parts.
5-Axis Horizontal CNC Machines
Our 5-axis machines excel at producing complex components from titanium, steel, aluminum, rare metals, and composites. Depending on the part geometries, 5-axis horizontal CNC machining helps you transform your manufacturing operations with significantly reduced setup and lead time.
Our extremely rigid 5-axis horizontal machining centers incorporate a double-slant design and 3-point leveling. This allows you to maximize metal removal while reducing tooling costs. These 5-axis horizontal machining centers deliver greater precision and accuracy with active temperature control.
When combined with Methods’ automation solutions, customers can achieve spindle utilization above 85% and fully unattended operations when combined with Methods’ automation solutions.
