CATO has launched the CBS 800 5-axis bridge-type machining center, specifically designed for complex components such as aerospace blisks and engine casings. Equipped with a bridge-type high-rigidity structure, direct-drive technology, self-developed spindle and multi-system configurations, the equipment enables high-precision and high-efficiency machining. It boasts notable advantages of low-consumption operation and maintenance, and enterprises can obtain customized solutions upon consultation.


Amid the wave of aerospace industry upgrading towards "high precision, lightweight, and integration," five-axis machining equipment has become a key engine for solving the manufacturing challenges of complex core components. Recently, CATO Precision Machinery (Guangdong) Co., LTD. grandly launched the CBS800 five-axis bridge-type machining center. With its high-rigidity structure and precise control technology, it provides an efficient solution for the processing of key components such as aero-engine blisks and casings, attracting widespread attention in the high-end manufacturing field.

Aerospace components are mostly made of difficult-to-cut materials such as superalloys and titanium alloys, and generally have complex curved surfaces and thin-walled structures, which place strict requirements on the rigidity, precision, and stability of machining equipment. The CBS800 five-axis bridge-type machining center is equipped with multiple core configurations to precisely meet the processing needs of impellers, closed blisks, aero-engine casings, turbine components, etc. It also covers the manufacturing of high-precision five-axis parts and core components in the medical field, realizing efficient production of "one machine for multiple scenarios."

Bridge-Type Structure + Direct Drive Technology: Building a Double Defense Line for Precision and Efficiency
The core advantages of the equipment stem from the ultimate optimization of the mechanical structure. The CBS800 five-axis bridge-type machining center features a high-rigidity structural design, with outstanding overall body stability, capable of withstanding large workloads. Even during high acceleration and deceleration movements of the X/Y/Z axes, it is completely unaffected by the size and weight of the workpiece, thoroughly solving the industry pain points of "easy deformation under heavy load and loss of precision at high speed." Combined with the structural reinforcement design, the equipment maintains strong rigidity during rough machining and stable performance during high-speed machining, laying a solid foundation for the efficient cutting of aero-engine components.

The innovative upgrade of the drive system has become a key guarantee for precision. The X/Y axes of the equipment adopt high-performance linear motors for direct drive, and the A/C axis cradle is equipped with torque motors for direct drive, eliminating mechanical transmission backlash from the source and achieving high acceleration/deceleration response and micron-level positioning accuracy. Equipped with high-rigidity roller guides, high-precision grating scales, and circular grating feedback systems, the trajectory control during five-axis simultaneous machining is more precise, effectively reducing the tool connection marks on the complex curved surfaces of aerospace parts and improving the surface machining quality.
Independent Core Components: Creating Reliable Machining Capabilities
As the "heart" of the equipment, the spindle adopts a built-in motorized spindle independently developed by CATO, offering multiple model options: HSK-E40/HSK-A63/HSK-A100. Through forced cooling technology to precisely control the temperature of the motor and front/rear bearings, the spindle can effectively eliminate runout and vibration during high-speed and long-term machining, maintaining stable precision. Relying on the refined modular production in a constant temperature and humidity workshop, the spindle integrates high rigidity, high speed, and high power, fully adapting to the cutting needs of difficult-to-cut aerospace materials.

In terms of the control system, the CBS800 five-axis bridge-type machining center provides a flexible configuration scheme — Siemens Sinumerik One serves as the standard system to ensure basic efficient operation, and users can also choose Heidenhain TNC 640 or CATO's independently developed C80 Plus system according to their needs, adapting to the operating habits and intelligent requirements of different production scenarios.

Precise Control + Low-Consumption Operation and Maintenance: Lowering the Threshold for High-End Manufacturing
The independently developed precision five-axis cradle further guarantees machining precision. It adopts torque motor direct drive, avoiding mechanical transmission wear. Combined with high-precision encoders, it achieves precise positioning and control during the machining process, maintaining low noise and low vibration performance even during high acceleration/deceleration movements. Additionally, it is easy to maintain, significantly reducing equipment operation and maintenance costs.

Currently, the competition in the field of aerospace precision manufacturing is becoming increasingly fierce, and efficient and reliable machining equipment has become a core tool for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
