The objective of the demonstration is to highlight a feature on the U53 that gives the operator the option to “burn” the slug left behind while the geometry is still being machined.

To stay competitive and lower manufacturing costs, metalworking companies must take advantage of the most advanced machine tool manufacturing technology. This requires investing hard earned cash. Now, by working with Makino Inc., a full range of financing options can be structured to meet any capital...

A V22 high precision vertical machining center was chosen to machine the part from roughing to finishing. The machining process began with top face roughing of the part using a 15-mm Pokholm face mill at 7500RPM. The outside perimeter was then machined with a 1.3-mm ball-nosed endmill running at 30,000RPM....

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_...

A previously outsourced retainer mold featuring 5,700 holes was machined on an EDGE2 Fine Hole using 0.0120 inch diameter hollow, copper pipe electrodes. Each hole required a 0.0132 inch finished hole diameter with a tolerance of ±0.0002 inch. _x000D_ _x000D_ The EDGE2 Fine Hole's precision...
