Optical Gaging Products (OGP) will describe a range of sensor technologies that can be used for dimensional measurement of machined parts. Multisensor measuring machines use a combination of sensors, each with particular strengths, to measure various features or dimensions for verification to design...
High-mix, low-volume production is big trend for manufacturers supplying Just-In-Time (JIT) customers. Due to this, there is a great deal of pressure to make the production process, even under high-mix, low-volume demands, as efficient as possible. Tim Jones, HMC product manager at Makino, discusses...
Makino defines micro-machining and discusses Makino's technology in this area. In this presentation, Makino references a real-world case study and makes comparisons between milling and EDM, and discusses micro-milling supporting technologies. Makino shows how to hold tolerances to microns and achieve...
Makino invites Corey Greenwald, co-owner of Hardmilling Solutions, and Makino machine tool owner, to discuss how he approaches milling of 50+ HRc hardened materials. Greenwald shares examples of materials and parts he has cut successfully. In addition, Craig McQueen of Makino's Die/Mold Center in...
Lee Richmond, Micro Market Manager, presents the new machines from Makino that can be deployed today to achieve the part-replication speed and precision needed for cost-effective micromachining today.
Want a hot tip? You need to invest today in new technologies for titanium milling. The growth in titanium applications will exceed the current machining capacity. Will you be ready to take advantage of this demand? This webinar will introduce Makino’s new T2, a 5 axis horizontal machining center...
When buying a machining center, you're bombarded with specs. What do they really mean, and how do the inconsistent ways of measuring performance truly stack up?
We know how to help you maximize the performance of your machines long into the future.
There is no magic formula for discovering the optimum number of parts that can be placed on your fixture, though a few general rules apply. In essence, the optimum configuration point is a cross between the cycle time of a part and the number of parts per fixture. One must also consider that different...
Machining Those Other Titanium Alloys There are many different titanium alloys other than Ti 6Al-4V – each with significant variants in chemical structure and characteristics. When you’re working with any of these, it’s essential to know not only their thermal conductivity but...
