Automation and five-axis machining continues to gain popularity due to their favorable impact on productivity and manufacturing cost reduction. This seminar will illustrate how to combine both technologies to achieve high productivity while also providing high flexibility and ease of use.

In this second part of a Large Mold Machining series, Makino discusses the more traditional machining of large molds on a vertical machining center. Large molds present challenges due to the size and weight of the material, often forcing machinists to sacrifice accuracy in order to handle the size and...

Learn about new concepts such as simultaneous three-axis machining and slanted hole machining on very large mold parts. We'll also be discussing new techniques in setup reduction, cycle time reduction and improvements in surface finish, now possible with a new generation of HMC designed for large...

Large production parts and large dies and molds present numerous challenges to machine effectively due to the size, weight and range of features found on big work pieces. These elements test a machine’s capacity, capability and utilization as well as impact productivity and costs. This webinar...
