Thermwood Corp.’s large-scale five-axis CNC machine, the Thermwood Max5, is engineered for industries that require size, strength and precision.

Designed to tackle demanding machining applications, the Max5 is well suited for producing large components for the aerospace, marine, automotive and construction industries. From massive molds to complex structural elements, the Max5 is designed to provide power, precision and durability.

Key features of the Thermwood Max5 include:

• 9-ft. vertical Z-axis clearance
• Widths of either 10' or 15', with lengths available up to 60'
• Powerful 17 hp liquid-cooled spindle
• Standard six-position automatic tool changer, expandable up to 18 positions
• High-tolerance automatic tool length and diameter measurement
• Automatic lubrication system for reduced maintenance
• Thermwood’s advanced SuperControl with Smart Router Technology
• Indexing speeds up to 2,100 ipm
• Stress-relieved, engineered steel gantry and vertical support columns
• Precision-machined internal steel bracing for maximum rigidity
• Optional floating aluminum worktable with drilled and tapped surface.

The Max5 is a heavy-duty, high-clearance five-axis CNC router built to perform in the extreme machining environments. Using advanced 3D modeling and finite element analysis (FEA), the Max5 is structurally optimized to maintain peak performance even during complex, high-stress, multiaxis operations.
