Learn about new methods to machine carbide blanks in the 80+HRc range. Carbide materials can now be efficiently machined utilizing new hardmilling processes on Makino vertical machining centers. Standard off the shelf CBN cutters are being used to rough, semi-finish and finish the hardest of carbide...

In this seminar, Makino will discuss why 2+3 machining might be a better fit than full 5-axis processing for your die/mold manufacturing operation. Learn about the superior programming capabilities, blending, part accuracy and surface finishes possible with 2+3 machining.

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.

The biggest unknown in machine limits is by far the bending moment. By knowing the limits of what your machine is designed to handle you can ensure that you are balancing productivity and process stability for long term profitability. This webinar talks about how to identify your machine’s limits...

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...

Many machine shops may avoid taking on intricate aerospace machining work because they have already made investments in four-axis machining centers, and aerospace work mostly requires five-axis capability. “Aircraft structural and turbo machinery components very often have surfaces that...

In this question-and-answer session with Mark Larson, AeroEngine Manager at Makino, we take a detailed look at developments that adapt titanium machining to achieve the following results: Deeper axial cutting Excellent chip clearance Cut closer to finished forms using 5-axis toolpaths during...

Learn the optimal cutting temperatures for titanium machining and how to better manage thermal conditions during the machining process. Gain insights on modeling, testing and identifying optimal cutting parameters for high metal-removal rates and longer tool life as well as how to achieve excellent surface...

In this second part of this series, actual cutting tests will be highlighted and demonstrated to compare 2+3 vs. 5 axis machining. Makino will discuss why 2+3 machining might be a better fit than full 5-axis processing for your die/mold manufacturing operation. Learn about the superior programming capabilities,...

Faster throughput, finer finishes and lower costs. Made possible with Makino’s intelligent technology.
