AUTOMATION



The Integrated System Solution
Makino Integration Services evolved directly out of the fierce pricing pressures manufacturers face in the global economy. To compete, manufacturers must reduce labor costs, increase throughput, ensure and even enhance part quality, and yet remain flexible enough to adapt to quickly changing volumes, designs and products.

No other manufacturing process can achieve all of these goals as well as automation.

To manufacturers, automating the process may seem a daunting task. That’s why Makino provides single-source integration services. We have been developing automated solutions for manufacturers around the world since the mid ‘90s. Today no one is better positioned to provide you with the equipment, skills and manpower necessary to effectively implement automated solutions for competing in the global marketplace.

Our extensive integration experience, coupled with our production machining solutions and applications’ engineering support, make Makino the only company you need for an automated production system solution.

The ultimate tool driving cost out of machining
Makino has been creating complete automation solutions for more than a decade, everything from simple cells with a single machine and a robot loader to large systems, consisting of Makino machining centers, parts conveyors, robot and gantry loaders, automated assembly and inspection equipment, parts washers, part marking and more.

Automated cells reduce the cost of machining a part in ways that reach beyond the particular machining application. Makino’s automated systems provide:
  • Higher utilization rate of machining
  • Higher throughput
  • Reduction in labor content
  • Process consistency associated with automated part load
  • Flexibility to redeploy for future production needs.
We coordinate all operator controls, providing a common human-machine interface platform and nomenclature. A Makino Integrated Services solution guarantees a tightly integrated manufacturing system with startup/shutdown procedures, alarm recovery, mechanical interface and part tracking.

The solution is automated, but the service isn’t. As with all Makino solutions, we provide a single source of dedicated project management and site coordination services, backed by the Makino staff of project, mechanical and controls engineers. A Makino automated system is total system solution.
