It consists of two different systems. A 5-axis multiprocess milling machine, Ibarmia THR 16 multiprocess, which allows five-axis milling and turning operations, and it includes a complex angular head with automatic robot loading from a reconfigurable magazine. It is incorporated with advanced monitoring systems such as static and dynamic balancing of the machine table, as well as data capture, transfer and analysis through the CFAA's IoT system. Its configuration allows the analysis of machine deformations using fixed structural elements placed in critical areas of the machine. In addition, the cell has a very high dynamic Hermle C52U MT machining center. It integrates complex milling capabilities in 5 axes (3 linear axes and 2 rotary axes in the swivel table) for large components, turning capabilities with a 1000 mm diameter table and 500 RPM of rotation speed, which allows turning with advanced tools for high speeds of cutting, and grinding capabilities both with its own head and with an auxiliary head optimized for CBN grinding wheels that reaches up to 80,000 RPM of rotation speed. The multitasking center also has monitoring possibilities of its actuators, both with an internal system that allows monitoring parameters of its drives, for example, power or various flows, as well as an external system included in a specific milling and drilling tool holder for monitoring mechanical stresses and forces on an absolute scale.

The various possibilities available in the machining centers make it possible, during machining tests, to both internal monitoring of its drives in terms of power, as well as external monitoring of the process itself, obtaining the absolute mechanical magnitude of the efforts that are taking place in the machining process.
The capabilities of the multitasking center make it possible to combine in a single machine setup and without the need for further movements of the component, operations of a different nature so far clearly differentiated. In this way, conventional machining operations together with CBN grinding of other functional surfaces can be carried out on the same component simultaneously.
Due to the increasing complexity that many components of the aeronautical industry are experiencing, with increasingly specialized geometry, together with the advance in design and simulation techniques, a parallel development of machining techniques is required that allows obtaining such advanced geometries of high responsibility.
