As a national high-tech firm, CATO launches the CBS 650 5-axis bridge-type machining center, tailored for aerospace and medical sectors. Boasting high rigidity, linear motor drive, self-developed spindles, and strong 5-axis machining, it meets strict precision needs. With China’s 5-axis machine tool market set to grow, CATO, backed by full services, will keep innovating to aid manufacturing upgrading.
As the global manufacturing industry moves toward high-end and intelligent development, high-end CNC machine tools, as the "cornerstone" of the industrial system, are gaining increasing prominence. Especially in high-tech fields such as aerospace and medical devices, the requirements for machining accuracy, efficiency, and quality consistency of complex parts are extremely stringent.
As a national high-tech enterprise and a national-level "Specialized, Refined, Characteristic, and Innovative" Little Giant enterprise, CATO (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. has always adhered to the independent R&D of core technologies. The CBS 650 5-axis bridge-type machining center launched by the company is precisely a powerful tool created to meet the current market demand for high-end precision machining.
01 Industry Background and Opportunities
Currently, China's CNC machine tool industry is in a period of upgrading and breakthrough. Data shows that the penetration rate of high-end machine tools in China was only 9.2% in 2024, far lower than the over 50% level of manufacturing powerhouses such as the United States and Japan.
As a representative of high-end equipment, the localization process of 5-axis machine tools has attracted much attention. In 2024, the localization rate of 5-axis machine tools was approximately 55%, which still leaves significant room for improvement compared with the 75% localization rate of non-5-axis machine tools.
This also implies huge potential for domestic substitution. It is expected that by 2029, the market size of China's 5-axis machine tool industry will reach 27 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1%, far higher than the overall 5.3% growth rate of the CNC machine tool industry.
The demand for high-precision and complex part machining in the aerospace and medical fields is an important driving force for the growth of the 5-axis machine tool market. Products in these fields usually feature complex curved surfaces, strict material requirements, and rigorous quality control standards.

02 Core Product Advantages
CATO CBS 650 5-axis bridge-type machining center integrates a variety of advanced technologies and provides a comprehensive solution for pain points in the high-end manufacturing field.
● High-Rigidity Bridge Structure Design: It adopts a unique bridge layout and a box-in-box symmetric beam structure, resulting in a stable overall structure and high rigidity. This enables the machine's three axes to maintain stable machining efficiency and accuracy during high-speed acceleration and deceleration movements, unaffected by the size and weight of the workpiece.
● Linear Motor Direct Drive Technology: The X-axis and Y-axis are driven directly by high-performance linear motors, with no mechanical transmission chain, completely eliminating the backlash issue. Combined with a high-precision grating scale feedback system, it can permanently maintain high-precision machining capabilities, meeting the extreme pursuit of machining accuracy and efficiency in the aerospace industry.
● Independently Developed Core Functional Components: CATO has mastered core technologies and possesses the capability of designing, manufacturing, and assembling spindles. The HSK-A100 built-in electric spindle, which is a standard configuration of the CBS 650, is manufactured in a constant temperature and humidity workshop using a fine modular production mode. It features high rigidity, high speed (up to 12,000 rpm), high power, large torque, and high reliability.
● Powerful 5-Axis Simultaneous Machining Capability: The A-axis has a rotation angle of ±110°, and the C-axis has a rotation angle of 360°. The XYZ-axis travel is 650×800×560 mm. Combined with a tool magazine with a capacity of 30 tools (tool change time is only 7 seconds) and the performance of the three axes with a rapid traverse speed of up to 48 m/min, it can efficiently complete 5-face machining of complex parts and full machining with one-time clamping.
03 Application Scenarios and Value
CATO CBS 650 5-axis bridge-type machining center demonstrates excellent performance in a number of high-end manufacturing fields:
● Aerospace Field: Addressing the high-precision machining needs of key parts such as impellers, closed blisks, integral blisks, and aero-engine casings, the equipment can ensure excellent surface quality and dimensional consistency.
● Medical Device Manufacturing: It is suitable for the machining of precision medical parts such as implants and surgical instruments, meeting the strict requirements of the medical industry for material specificity and surface finish.
● High-Precision 5-Axis Part Machining: Relying on its stable accuracy and efficient machining capabilities, it has become a reliable choice for the mass production of precision parts.
04 Systematic Support and Services
CATO not only provides high-performance equipment but also has built a complete service system.
