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.

The demonstration utilizes two (2) J55 stand-alone machining centers with Makino automatic part unloading and transportation mechanism.

A V22 equipped with a 0.050 mm diameter drill was used to machine 61 individual 0.002 in. micro holes into a flat 0.020 in. thick 303 stainless steel plate._x000D_ _x000D_ To reduce tooling runout, a high precision collet holder assembly featuring a BIG "Mega Micro" collet chuck, BIG "micro"...

NURBS is not a new term. It is an acronym for "Non-Uniform Rational B Spline" and is basically an accurate way to define a free-form curve. CAD-CAM systems have used NURBS for many years to define curves.

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.

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...
