The Jugang CP series five-axis horizontal machining center is equipped with standard systems such as Heidenhain TNC640 and Siemens Sinumerik One. It adopts a high-rigidity structure and self-developed spindles, with a XYZ axis rapid movement speed of up to 60m/min. It can precisely process components such as engine casings and impellers in the aerospace field. Obtained ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications. After a certain aviation OEM adopted CP1600, the production time of engine casings was shortened by 40%. Learn more technical details →
In the competitive landscape of aerospace manufacturing, precision, rigidity, and efficiency are non-negotiable. Dongguan CATO Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. introduces its CP Series 5-Axis Horizontal Spindle Machining Centers—a game-changing solution engineered to meet the stringent demands of aerospace component production, including engine casings, impellers, and turbine fans. Equipped with industry-leading controls like Heidenhain TNC640, C80 Plus, and Siemens Sinumerik One as standard, the CP Series redefines manufacturing excellence for high-precision applications.
Two Innovative Structures: Tailored for Diverse Aerospace Needs
High-Rigidity Horizontal Structure (CP800|CP1100|CP1250|CP1600)
Designed for compact to medium-sized aerospace components, this structure delivers unrivaled precision and stability through cutting-edge engineering:
1.Stepped X-Axis Design
The linear guideway mounting surfaces feature a strategic height difference, ensuring balanced load distribution across rails. This minimizes vibration during high-speed movement, critical for machining thin-walled engine parts.
2.One-Piece Cast Iron Bed
Manufactured via high-quality cast iron integration, the bed eliminates structural weak points, enhancing rigidity and long-term stability—essential for maintaining micron-level accuracy in titanium alloy machining.
3.Triple-Point Support System
Absolute rigidity is achieved through a precision-engineered three-point support structure, reducing deformation under heavy loads. This ensures consistent accuracy even during extended production runs.
4.Torque Motor Direct Drive
Eliminating mechanical transmission and backlash, this system enables rapid acceleration/deceleration, high responsiveness, and sustained precision. Its low noise and vibration levels make it ideal for aerospace’s strict tolerance requirements.
5.High-Rigidity Roller Guides
These guides withstand heavy cutting forces, ensuring stable performance when machining high-strength materials like Inconel, a staple in aerospace engine components.
Key Performance: XYZ axes rapid traverse speed reaches 60 m/min, significantly reducing non-cutting time for enhanced productivity.
High-Rigidity Gantry Structure (CP2000|CP2700)
Optimized for large aerospace parts such as engine casings, this structure combines innovative design with robust performance:
1.Spindle-Centered Gantry Design
A breakthrough layout where the spindle center aligns with the table center, minimizing cumulative errors. This is pivotal for machining large, complex geometries like aerospace turbine housings.
2.Thermo-Stable Construction
The one-piece cast iron bed, produced in a temperature-controlled workshop, resists thermal deformation—critical for maintaining accuracy during long machining cycles.
3.Dynamic Beam with Dual-Screw Drive
The Z-axis features lightweight, high-rigidity components paired with synchronized dual screws, achieving a rapid traverse speed of 42 m/min while ensuring smooth, precise movement.
4.Direct-drive torque motor
Mirroring the horizontal structure’s advantages, direct drive technology delivers backlash-free operation, low vibration, and easy maintenance—key for uninterrupted production.
5.High-rigidity roller linear guideway
These ensure stability when machining large workpieces, supporting weights up to several tons without compromising precision.
Core Technologies: Innovations Backed by Expertise
In-House Developed Spindles
CATO’s proprietary HSK-A63/HSK-A100 built-in spindles are engineered for aerospace rigor:
1.High-Speed Stability: Operates up to 24,000 rpm with runout controlled within 0.002 mm, ensuring surface finish consistency in turbine blade machining.
2.Advanced Cooling: Forced cooling systems target motor and bearings, preventing thermal drift during extended high-speed operation.
3.Certified Manufacturing: Produced in ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified workshops, these spindles deliver 45 kW power and 300 N·m torque—ideal for hard-to-machine alloys.
High-Torque 5-Axis Head & Precision Worktables
1.Direct-Drive 5-Axis Head: Torque motor technology eliminates mechanical wear, achieving ±5 arcsec repeatability—vital for 5-axis contouring of impellers and blisks.
2.CATO-Patented Rotary Tables: C-axis employs direct-drive torque motors for backlash-free positioning, paired with high-precision encoders for sub-micron accuracy. Optional dual-exchange tables with 4-point cone clamping (50-ton clamping force) enable uninterrupted production.
Aerospace Applications & Industry Recognition
The CP Series is trusted by leading aerospace manufacturers for:
1.Engine Casings: Machining complex structures with ±0.003 mm tolerance.
2.Turbine Impellers: 5-axis simultaneous machining of 3D blade profiles.
3.Fan Blades: High-speed, low-vibration cutting of titanium alloys.
Case Study: A major aerospace OEM reduced engine casing production time by 40% using the CP1600, thanks to its 60 m/min rapid traverse and thermal stability.
