Makino introduces its latest CNC horizontal machining centers, the N2 and N2-5XA, for medical and small aluminum parts manufacturing. The new N2 platform is a high-productivity solution contained in a small package that consumes less than 26 square feet of floor space (includes coolant tank and standard...

The role of the toolholder in high-speed milling is really no different than its role when applied conventionally. The role of the toolholder is always to provide an interchangeable interface between a machine spindle and a cutting tool, such that the effectiveness of either component is not diminished....

Three years ago, JK Molds, Inc. decided that if they were going to stay in the die/mold business, they had better automate in order to achieve the benefits of unattended machining time with fast, high quality overnight cutting and burning. The Upland, California, company spent a few million dollars...

Equipped with a 7.87” diameter, tilt-trunnion table that delivers arc-second accuracy, the V33i-5XB delivers the full 5-axis milling solution for die / mold, medical and optical manufacturers machining complex, contoured, high surface finish parts.

The EDAF3-Fine Hole machine achieves the same level of high performance as the EDAF2-Fine Hole, but offers larger X/Y/Z Strokes and a larger work tank to accommodate bigger size parts. 

A Makino V22 vertical machining center was used to manufacture a micro medical staple mold out of hardened 420 stainless steel. Previous processing of the mold was performed using electrical discharge machining (EDM), and required 67 hours of machine time to achieve 0.20mm corner radii._x000D_ _x000D_...

The L2 vertical machining center is designed for high-volume, small-part manufacturing. Combining rigid construction, a compact footprint and flexible spindle design, the L2 offers a highly stable and reliable machine platform for fully unattended, around-the-clock part processing.
