Injection-molded components are only as good as the molds Mold halves that don’t mate together cleanly, pins that don’t align, and mold locks that scrape and bind result in scrapped parts and millions in lost revenue. Klaus Wieder understands these problems all too well, and if he has his...

Makino is introducing SGI.4, the next generation of its patented super geometric intelligence technology, on its V-Series of vertical machining centers.

The automotive industry’s need for textured parts has risen steadily over the past few years.In response to this need, the process of mold cavity texturing has evolved — rapidly.

In this webinar, Makino will demonstrate part probing and how to send results to the Makino Pro 5 control for inspection, fixture alignment, offsets and adjustments. Learn how to create probing routines as part of the process and learn various techniques such as vectoring. See how to store these programs...

This unique webinar will highlight the machining techniques and machine tool technologies required to achieve surface finishes as fine as 10nm Ra. Machining technologies to be discussed are Ram EDM, Wire EDM and ultra precision milling. Also included in the discussion will be various metrology technologies...

Learn what it takes to achieve sub-micron accuracies in milling and EDM and how to choose the right tool for the micro job. Makino will discuss the V22 vertical machining center’s ability stay accurate under 2 microns in long-running jobs, the EDAC1 Ram EDM capable of producing inside corner radii...

In this webinar, Makino will demonstrate machining of transmission valve bodies with high performance PCD tooling. Aluminum with high silicon content is difficult to machine with carbide tooling. Using high performance tooling, Makino will demonstrate significantly improved face milling with reduced...

The use of vision systems with robot automation is expanding. Machine tending utilizing robots with vision systems for part pallet or basket loading and unloading will be discussed in this webinar. Part identification, feature location and measurement and pattern matching, even the use of bar codes by...
