New Control Technologies (Part 1): Inertia Active Control – Optimize B axis index times

Join us for this brief webinar to learn how Makino’s unique Inertia Active Control (IAC) can help you to improve productivity of new or existing NC programs. IAC reduces non cut cycle times by optimizing the acceleration and deceleration of Makino’s Direct Drive B axis tables. 90 degree index times can be reduced as much as 30% in some applications. Inertia Active Control is a standard new feature on Makino’s a51nx and a61nx machines.
