Learn about the new “purpose-built” family of large 5 axis horizontal machining centers for aluminum monolithic aerospace part production. This new family of machines will be available with X axis travels ranging from 4 to 20 meters.
Aerospace parts come in all shapes and sizes. While manufacturing efficiency of large to mid size structural aerospace parts has been a focal point for Makino, smaller parts like leading edges also require process optimization. These smaller parts are often produced on general purpose machines or in...
5XContinuous represents the “next-generation” of simultaneous 5-Axis machining. 5XContinuous blends the latest innovations in machine tool components with design and CAD/CAM software. These new technologies reduce programming as well as cycle and lead times...
NURBS is not a new term. It is an acronym for "Non-Uniform Rational B Spline" and is basically an accurate way to define a free-form curve. CAD-CAM systems have used NURBS for many years to define curves.
