Ingersoll Machine Tools and Innse-Berardi, sister companies within the Camozzi Group, introduce the IBPMax S machining platform designed for high-performance machining of large structural aluminum aerospace components. The machine made its debut at IMTS 2026.

Developed to meet the competitive demands of aerospace manufacturers, the IBPMax S has been engineered to combine structural rigidity, dynamic performance and long-term machining accuracy within a single integrated platform. The machine is designed to handle large, complex aluminum structural components faster while maintaining precision and repeatability. The platform features the Tabm E three-axis head designed to offer high productivity, accessibility and machining flexibility.

Rather than functioning as a standalone component, the IBPMax S platform and the multiaxis Tabm E head have been engineered together as a fully integrated solution, allowing manufacturers to reduce machining times while maintaining process stability and accuracy.

The machine combines two key technologies said to significantly reduce machining time:

Dynamic performance designed to enable full utilization of available spindle power during high-material-removal operations, maximizing productivity in roughing applications.
A newly developed ABC head with advanced kinematics, enabling multiaxis machining with minimal angular movements, reducing finishing cycle times while promoting outstanding accuracy and surface quality.

The compact design and optimized inclination of the head also improve accessibility inside deep pockets and complex geometries, reducing repositioning requirements and enabling faster, more efficient machining of aerospace structural components.

“When developing the IBPMax S, we started with a clear objective: to help aerospace manufacturers produce more, with greater precision and in less time,” says Mario Orlandi, sales director — IBPMax and aerospace key account manager. “With its innovative technologies, the IBPMax S represents a significant step forward at a time when aerospace manufacturers must increase productivity to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market. Our focus was to develop a solution that provides a measurable competitive advantage, enabling customers to achieve higher productivity without compromising quality.”
