Bridge & Gantry Heavy Duty Machining

Ultra-rigid, Powerful, Long-lasting

For the largest, heaviest 3 to 5 axis parts look no further than a Jupiter bridge or gantry mill. The bridge and gantry lines come in a wide array of sizes and each mill is custom built to your unique application needs. 3 axis, 5 face, and full 5 axis simultaneous configurations are all available. Want to install a massive rotary on the table for long cylindrical parts? We can do that too!

Customer-driven Configuration Flexibility

Jupiter partners with the world’s leading CNC system providers to deliver whatever platform you prefer.

High Performance Spindles

All Jupiter spindles feature Japanese bearings and come in dual-contact / Big Plus taper as part of their standard configuration. Each spindle is hand-built by master craftsmen before being precision balanced and run-in for over 72 hours. Direct drive and belt-driven styles are available depending on your application needs.

Premium Ballscrews & Linear Guides

All Jupiter machines come with C1-class premium super accurate ballscrews and roller linear guides manufactured by motion industry leaders for the most demanding applications.

Incredible Accuracy

All Jupiter machine tools are laser pitch error compensated and ball bar inspected both before leaving the factory and at time of installation on the customer’s floor. You deserve micron precision.

Faultless Reliability

Jupiter components are always chosen with long-term reliability in mind, so that you don’t need to keep reliability in your mind. New Jupiter machines come standard with a two year manufacturer’s warranty… but you won’t need it!
