The base frame shown here was manufactured for a pharmaceutical client, and was used to support equipment. Machining began with a 20.38 pound raw blank of T6 aluminum and finished at 3.3 lbs. Utilizing our 5-axis Hurco VMX 30 U vertical mill we were able to cut the machining down to two operations from four and also allow for deburring as part of the machining process. The tolerances for this aluminum base frame are ±0.0005".
