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 Enabled Machining Centers:
•
T4 five-axis horizontal machining centers
•
T2 five-axis horizontal machining centers
Makino's ADVANTiGE is composed of advanced machining technologies including an Autonomic Spindle Technology, high pressure, high flow coolant system, vibration damping system, and a rigid machine and spindle construction.
The ADVANTiGE
Autonomic Spindle Technology utilizes spindle sensors to measure displacement caused by excessive cutting forces. This feedback is instantaneously sent to the Professional 5 control where processing characteristics are adapted to the current machining conditions, protecting both the spindle and tooling and ultimately allowing the spindle to detect, think, decide and react by itself to optimize stable cutting conditions.
The ADVANTiGE
high pressure, high flow coolant system delivers large volumes of high pressure coolant directly to the cutting zone for increased chip evacuation from multi-flute tools. The coolant system includes overhead shower, spindle nozzle, and through-spindle coolant for improved cooling, lubrication, and chip evacuation in titanium parts.
By adjusting frictional forces based on low frequency vibration sensing, the ADVANTiGE
vibration damping system avoids chatter and cutter damage resulting from structure resonance in real time. This vibration suppression enables deeper cuts, higher metal removal rates and reduced tool wear.
The
rigid construction of ADVANTiGE enhanced machinery provides a solid, reliable platform for all other technologies and further suppresses vibration for reduced tool chipping and improved metal removal rates.
