In today’s challenging aerospace manufacturing environment, reducing scrap, labor costs, and unnecessary expenses should be top of mind for aerospace manufacturers that wish to remain competitive in a tight market. To do this effectively, it’s imperative that shops embrace technologies which maximize productivity and profitability. Forward looking shops will embrace machining centers with state-of-the art performance.
Improved machining solutions are now available that allow manufacturers to forge a new standard for aluminum structural aircraft component production. These superior technologies can give aerospace manufacturers an edge over competitors and help keep businesses viable during the industry’s recovery. Shops with old technology and equipment will not be able to compete with those that have modernized their operations.
This whitepaper details how you may achieve 30% to 40% productivity improvements with the newest Makino high performance machining centers. The Makino MAG3 series, 5-axis, horizontal machining centers provide the aerospace manufacturing industry with the powerful production platforms necessary to competitively machine aluminum structural parts.
