Precision CNC Milling with Automation and 5-Axis Technology
B&H Machining offers comprehensive CNC milling capabilities designed to meet the needs of both simple and highly complex projects. Our machining center portfolio ranges from reliable 3-axis mills to advanced 5-axis systems, enabling us to handle everything from basic machining to intricate, multi-sided parts with tight tolerances. We also utilize pallet-changing systems and horizontal machining centers to support efficient production workflows—allowing quick changeovers, improved machine utilization, and consistent part quality across long runs. For high-volume or repetitive jobs, robotic loading automation increases throughput and reduces cycle times by keeping machines running continuously with minimal operator intervention. Whether you need prototype parts or high-volume production, B&H Machining delivers precision, efficiency, and reliability to support your next project.

5-Axis CNC Milling for High-Precision Prototypes and Complex Parts
B&H Machining’s5-axis CNC capabilities offer significant advantages for projects that require complex geometry, tight tolerances, and high precision—especially when developing prototypes. By moving the cutting tool along five axes simultaneously, our 5-axis machines reach multiple faces, angles, and features in a single setup, reducing the need for multiple operations and minimizing the risk of misalignment. This improves accuracy, repeatability, and part consistency while also shortening lead times. The ability to machine intricate contours, undercuts, and angled surfaces makes 5-axis milling ideal for complex designs that are difficult to produce using standard methods. Optimal tool orientation also reduces tool deflection and improves surface finish, resulting in higher-quality parts with smoother transitions and fewer tool marks.

B&H Machining’s horizontal CNC machining capabilities support high productivity, precision, and consistent quality—especially for multi-sided parts and high-volume programs. Horizontal machines allow chips to fall away from the cutting area, improving tool life and reducing downtime. This results in cleaner cuts and better surface finishes during demanding milling operations. When paired with rotary tables or pallet systems, horizontal machining enables efficient multi-face machining with fewer setups, improved repeatability, and faster cycle times.
Horizontal machining is especially effective for high-volume production because it supports continuous operation and is commonly paired with pallet changers for faster throughput and predictable scheduling.

Automation-Supported CNC MachiningCNC Mills with Integrated Pallet Changing Systems
B&H Machining’s pallet changing systems increase productivity by reducing machine downtime and enabling faster, more efficient production workflows. Pallet changers allow the machine to keep cutting while parts are loaded and unloaded outside the cutting envelope, which improves spindle utilization and helps keep cycle times consistent for high-volume or multi-part jobs.
Multiple pallets also support product families by enabling quick changeovers between fixtures and part variants. Pallet automation improves repeatability by ensuring fixtures are positioned consistently each time—reducing setup variation and supporting tighter process control.

Production-Efficient Machining SystemsFully Automated 50-Pallet 5-Axis Machining Cell
B&H Machining’s automation capability includes a 50-pallet rack system integrated with a FANUC robot and a 5-axis mill, delivering continuous production for high-mix or high-volume jobs. The robotic system automates loading and unloading to keep the 5-axis mill running with minimal operator intervention.
With 50 pallets available, multiple fixtures and part variants can be staged and queued for machining—reducing downtime between jobs and supporting long unattended runs. The 5-axis platform enables complex multi-sided machining in fewer setups, while automation ensures repeatable handling and consistent part placement every cycle.
