FAQ
BX5-400 Questions
Answers to common questions about the BX5-400.
Yes — our applications engineers build and prove your post-processor and first simultaneous 5-axis toolpath in the Vaughan Tech Centre as part of the sale, so your team learns on a working program, not a blank screen.
The Brenvoss Vantis 5X control accepts standard G-code from any major CAM package; our applications engineers can advise on post-processor setup for the system your team already uses.
Typically 12-14 weeks build-to-order given the trunnion and HSK-A63 spindle package; we confirm your exact date once your configuration is finalized.
Yes, every BX5-400 includes on-site training on the Vantis 5X control plus 5-axis setup and workholding fundamentals, with follow-up classes available at our Tech Centre.

BX5-650
The BX5-650 is the 5-axis machine most Tollaston customers settle on once complex parts move from occasional prototypes into a steady production schedule. Its 650 mm trunnion table takes a 400 kg load, an HSK-A63 spindle turns 15,000 rpm as standard with a 20,000 rpm option, and the same continuous C-axis and wide A-axis tilt as the BX5-400 give it the reach for deep pockets and undercuts a 3-axis machine simply can't get to. It's the platform we recommend for shops running impeller, turbine, aerospace structural or complex mold work at real volume, and it's the flagship of the Brenvoss line for good reason: the table size and spindle power sit right at the sweet spot most 5-axis buyers actually need.

BX5-1000
The BX5-1000 scales the Brenvoss trunnion platform up to a 1,000 mm table and 800 kg load rating for customers whose parts have simply outgrown the BX5-650. An HSK-A100 spindle delivering 200 Nm of torque at 10,000 rpm handles heavier structural aerospace components and large mold tooling that need 5-axis access but also need real metal-removal rate. The A-axis tilts -30° to +110° with continuous C-axis rotation, giving the same reach into compound angles as the smaller models on a much larger part envelope. Tollaston installs the BX5-1000 for shops doing large airframe structural work, big impeller housings, and heavy mold bases that need every face finished without a re-fixture.
