To be competitive today, manufacturers must leverage the most advanced technology while keeping a pulse on maximizing long-term reliability, accuracy, and ROI. With many low-cost solutions available, it’s important to calculate a machine’s true ROI before making a purchase. While low-cost...
Learn what it takes to achieve sub-micron accuracies in milling and EDM and how to choose the right tool for the micro job. Makino will discuss the V22 vertical machining center’s ability stay accurate under 2 microns in long-running jobs, the EDAC1 Ram EDM capable of producing inside corner radii...
In this webinar, Apex Precision will discuss how it uses horizontal machining centers to produce kanban quantities of large cast iron production parts utilizing custom fixtures and combination tooling.
Some shop owners focus only on the initial purchase price of a Vertical Machining Center and overlook critical performance issues that can increase operational costs. These performance issues - and their associated expense - are reflected in every project produced on the machine. This webinar utilizes...
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...
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?
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.
