In this Webinar, Makino will discuss the production applications of two types of non-contact gauging inside machining centers. The first type is tool changeable non-contact bore gauging for the measuring of machined parts. The second type is the laser system for tool monitoring.
Makino will demonstrate how to achieve high precision plate and mold bases, using "off the shelf" tooling, eliminating the need for Jig Grinding. Several practical examples will be explored with supporting metrology which will showcase what can be achieved with current machine tool and cutter...
This webinar will introduce the mold shop to a new steel, PX5, from International Mold Steel, a modified P20. Makino will demonstrate and discuss the machine ability, material characteristics, physical properties of this new steel using various cutting demonstrations.
In this webinar, Mike MacKay of MacKay Manufacturing presents his Evolution of Lean Manufacturing. Mike's shop has implemented Makino's pallet handling system, the MMC2, and Mike will tell you how he's reduced setup times, labor costs and cost per part while increasing efficiency, productivity...
Aside from the traditional advantages of five-axis machining, learn how new levels of sustained dynamic accuracy are being achieved through technologies which improve thermal stabilization and maximize volumetric accuracy. Understand key elements that contribute to high performance, high output five-axis...
Makino and Blum will demonstrate new "form control" techniques to show a freshly machined part's accuracy while still in the fixture, and graphically demonstrate and confirm the accuracy compared to the computer model of the part. We will also demonstrate tool length measurement and tool...
Learn about the next generation of Makino's control technology and how a highly integrated, user-friendly control system can improve your machining operations. See how this easy to use control provides the ultimate flexibility, data management, monitoring capability, and maintenance functions and...
In this webinar, Makino's Process Development engineers will provide guidelines for producing higher quality parts in fewer operations utilizing single layer abrasive plated grinding methods in a horizontal machining center. Learn when plated grinding is the right choice.
Learn new techniques for reducing your time to market, improving your surface finish and final geometries on complex 3D parts and reducing your cycle times on difficult to machine materials. See case studies where Makino innovations lead to significant improvements and manufacturing excellence.
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,...
