Repeatable. Critical. Reliable. And still at the lowest possible cost per part. That’s why Makino Aerospace matters.

Few parts matter more than those designed and manufactured for the aerospace industry, which is why so many of the leading companies involved in machining the complex precision parts for aerospace applications rely on Makino machines and spindles for these critical components.

In an industry that demands accuracy, repeatability and efficiency, Makino delivers with the machines, processes and engineering solutions that enable you to produce accurate structural and turbo machinery parts faster, with less variability and at the lowest possible cost.

From large OEMs to tier-one and tier-two suppliers and job shops, Makino aerospace machining centers are dramatically reducing costs by minimizing non-cut time, cut time and changeover time. Makino-designed automated cells employ state-of-the-art pallet handling and storage systems that enable you to cut aerospace parts and trim costs around the clock.

Learn how Makino Engineering Services can optimize your machining processes to achieve the throughput, quality and guaranteed cycle times you need to make your operations more productive and profitable. >> 

Structural Components

Aerospace parts manufacturers are uniquely challenged to produce mid-size and large 5-axis aluminum parts in specific quantities. Makino’s MAG-Series of 5-axis horizontal machining centers—ideal for machining medium to large aluminum airframe components—are purpose-built and configured to meet this need at the lowest possible cost per part.

Engine Components

With unique, new machining center technology that combines grinding and milling into one setup on one machine, Makino is helping companies supply the aerospace parts that matter while reducing part production times by as much as 75 percent.
