PMT provides high-precision, high-reliability machining solutions for a wide range of general engineering and industrial manufacturing applications. Leveraging our aerospace-grade technology, advanced 5 Axis CNC Machines, machining centers, turning solutions and automation systems, we help manufacturers in machinery, heavy equipment, industrial components, tools, hydraulics, rail, robotics and many other sectors achieve stable quality, shorter lead times and stronger cost competitiveness.


Versatile CNC Platforms For Diverse Industrial Components

General engineering environments are characterised by diverse part types, materials and batch sizes. PMT’s machine portfolio is designed to handle this variety efficiently and consistently:

  • 5 Axis CNC Machines for complex housings, brackets, manifolds, precision structural components, tooling parts and multi-surface features that benefit from single-setup machining.
  • Vertical and horizontal machining centers for cube-shaped parts, plates, bases, fixtures, flanges, covers, pump bodies, valve blocks and a wide range of mechanical components.
  • Gantry machining centers for large frames, beds, rails, mold bases, machine components and heavy-duty parts requiring long travels and high rigidity.
  • CNC turning centers and lathes for shafts, bushings, rings, discs, couplings and rotational parts with tight concentricity and surface requirements.

Using a common control philosophy, programming environment and quality approach across these platforms, PMT helps factories simplify training, streamline maintenance and standardise machining processes.


Handling A Wide Range Of Materials And Cutting Conditions

General engineering covers everything from aluminium and non-ferrous alloys to hardened steels and cast irons. PMT’s experience in machining titanium and hard-to-cut aerospace alloys directly benefits everyday industrial production:

  • Rigid machine structures and well-designed guideway systems maintain accuracy and stability during both light finishing and heavy roughing operations.
  • High-torque, high-rigidity spindle configurations support a wide range of cutting tools and strategies, from high-speed milling to high-load, low-speed cutting.
  • Proven cutting process know-how for carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron, aluminium and special materials improves tool life and surface quality while reducing cost per part.

This flexibility allows general engineering manufacturers to support a broad customer base and product portfolio on a unified machine platform.


From Job-Shop Flexibility To Serial Production Efficiency

PMT supports both high-mix job-shop style manufacturing и repetitive batch production:

  • For job shops and custom-part manufacturers, our 5 Axis CNC Machines and multi-pallet machining centers help reduce setups, shorten programming time and accommodate frequent part changes without sacrificing precision.
  • For manufacturers with stable series production, we provide cell and line concepts with standardised fixturing, automation options and in-line measurement to maximise throughput and consistency.
  • Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) and palletised cells can be configured to run multiple part numbers with different priorities, allowing general engineering plants to respond quickly to urgent orders and schedule changes.

This combination of flexibility and efficiency allows factories to grow from project-based work towards more stable, predictable and scalable production models.


Automation And FMS For Industrial Productivity

As labour costs rise and delivery times shrink, general engineering manufacturers increasingly require automation to remain competitive. PMT offers a full range of solutions:

  • Automation cells with robot loading/unloading, part orientation and fixture handling for machining centers and turning machines.
  • Pallet systems and pallet pools that enable lights-out machining of mixed parts with minimal operator presence.
  • FMS lines that link multiple machines, storage systems and measurement stations into integrated, software-controlled production systems.

These solutions are built on the same engineering discipline we use for aerospace and defense projects, ensuring that automation boosts both productivity and process reliability.


Engineering Support, Process Optimisation & Turnkey Solutions

Beyond supplying machines, PMT provides engineering capabilities that general engineering customers often lack in-house:

  • Support for process planning, fixture design and cutting-strategy development to achieve stable, repeatable results even for complex parts.
  • NC programming assistance using UG NX, hyperMILL and other advanced CAM platforms, including multi-axis programming and collision-checked toolpaths.
  • Turnkey project delivery for new production lines, including machine selection, automation, fixturing, tooling, coolant and chip-handling systems, plus full on-site commissioning and ramp-up.

By combining our machine tool expertise with practical production experience, we help customers avoid trial-and-error, shorten industrialisation times and improve profit margins.


Quality, Stability And Traceability In Real Production Environments

General engineering customers need equipment that works reliably in real-world conditions—not just in demo environments. PMT’s quality philosophy is built on aerospace and defense standards and applied to industrial production:

  • Quality management aligned with ИСО 9001 and robust internal standards for design, manufacturing, assembly and testing.
  • Full-process inspection and test cutting for each machine before shipment, ensuring that performance in the customer’s plant matches specification.
  • Support for integrating probing, in-process measurement and SPC into machining processes where needed, enhancing traceability and reducing scrap.

This provides a stable platform for continuous improvement and consistent quality across changing workloads and projects.


Balanced Performance And Cost For Global Competitiveness

PMT machines offer a high-performance, high-value alternative to traditional high-end European and Japanese brands:

  • Typical investment cost around one-half to two-thirds of comparable European equipment in the same class, freeing budget for more capacity, automation or metrology.
  • Under the same precision and cycle-time targets, our optimised designs and process know-how often deliver equal or higher productivity, lowering cost-per-part and improving ROI.
  • Long-term support, training, spare parts and maintenance services help general engineering customers extend machine life and protect their investment.

For general engineering manufacturers seeking to upgrade their machining capability without overstretching capital budgets, PMT provides a compelling balance of technology, performance and cost.


A Trusted Partner For Industrial Manufacturers

With roots in China’s top aerospace and defense programs and membership in a leading titanium additive manufacturing group, PMT (Chengdu Precise CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd.) now brings that same engineering strength to general industrial manufacturing worldwide.

Whether you produce machinery components, industrial equipment, heavy-duty parts, precision assemblies or custom-engineered mechanisms, PMT’s 5 Axis CNC Machines, machining centers, turning solutions and automation systems give you the capability to deliver high-quality products on time—while remaining competitive in a demanding global market.
