TITANIUM

Makino is cutting down your cost to produce titanium parts each day at their Global Titanium R&D Center located in Mason, Ohio. With continuously increasing demand for Titanium in the aerospace and medical markets, Makino provides titanium machining solutions that can overcome past problems of limited metal removal rates and insufficient tool life.

Makino's T-series five-axis horizontal machining centers, which include the T4 and T2, are built specifically for Titanium aerospace applications and include Makino's ADVANTiGE technologies. This line of machinery is set to change the way people think about titanium machining, providing manufacturers with four times the productivity and double the tool life of conventional titanium machining technologies.

For added productivity, Makino's T-series machines can also be integrated with an automatic pallet transfer and storage system in a highly flexible Makino Machining Complex (MMC2) for extended periods of unattended operation. This automation system assigns work and initiates operations automatically, maximizing spindle utilization for increased productivity.

Four times productivity, double the tool life.
Makino’s ADVANTiGE™ technologies overcome the traditional challenges of low metal removal rates and limited tool life associated with Titanium machining. By improving spindle performance, coolant delivery, vibration damping, machine rigidity and cutting strategies, ADVANTiGE is capable of four times the productivity and double the tool life of conventional machining technologies.

ADVANTiGE technologies include Autonomic Spindle Technology that utilizes spindle sensors to measure displacement caused by excessive cutting forces; high pressure, high flow coolant for improved cooling, lubrication and chip evacuation; a vibration damping system to proactively reduce chatter and vibration; a Coolant Microsizer System that improves tool cooling and lubricity for extended tool life, and a rigid machine construction that suppresses vibration for reduced tool chipping and improved metal removal rates.

Makino's North American headquarters in Mason, Ohio has been designated Makino's Global Titanium R&D Center, committed to furthering the world's capabilities in titanium machining. The facility will include state-of-the-art machine tools, specialized titanium machining and tooling experts, CMM equipment, and all the process technologies to further titanium machining technologies.

The key to titanium machining is process development in which the machine tool, cutting tools, machining process, and coolants are each developed and integrated specific to titanium’s material properties. The mission of Makino’s global Titanium R&D Center is to provide manufacturers with the best in titanium application expertise by combining Makino’s titanium machining capabilities with the world's leading process technologies.

Makino's global Titanium R&D Center will be managed by a select group of engineers with knowledge and experience around Titanium in both academic and industrial backgrounds. The group will be working with tooling and consumable vendors from around the world for a wide knowledge base in all types of titanium applications.
