To produce parts quickly and accurately, without scrap, there are technologies that can easily be applied and meet 6-sigma requirements. Makino will share some of its experience with machine features that reduce part variability.
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...
Versatility and productivity are key components to any successful job shop. Discover seven simple-to-deploy improvements for vertical machining centers that can increase your spindle utilization and dramatically reduce changeover and setup times. These improvements include new tool and chip management...
Developing an effective capital equipment investment justification and illustration of ROI can be a challenge for many shops. In this webinar, Makino will provide new information to help you prepare a capital equipment purchase justification and show a substantial increased return on investment by considering...
Having limited floor space for your machines should not mean that you limit your productivity! Small parts production on a traditional compact vertical machining center requires compromises. Limited milling capabilities, poor spindle utilization and poor chip management erode your efficiencies and profit...
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...
This webinar will cover 3-axis machining with over 10:1 length to diameter ratio tooling, including roughing and finishing. We will discuss cutting strategies, standard tooling and tool holding systems and how to minimize vibration and tool run-out. Learn how to further minimize EDM time, improve your...
