If you want to extract the greatest amount of productivity and profitability from your manufacturing operations, it’s important to evaluate how much non-cutting time is occurring when the spindle should be in cut. One of the things that can impact in-cut time is machine technology. Every Vertical...

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...

In the mid-1980s, Makino introduced the MC40, a horizontal machining center (HMC) that offered a glimpse of the high speed machining advancements. Makino then made a further leap forward in 1989 with the development of the A55, the first of its A-Series machine line that would drive the metalcutting...

THE CHALLENGE Chicago Faucets was founded in 1901, and just a few years later invented the Quaturn cartridge—a part that is known throughout the industry for its reliability and value. Its design has been a part of every Chicago faucet developed since then. Due to...

i-setup function was developed to assist the operator in workpiece set-up, alignment and coordinate system setting. In “normal operation”, this process has been (traditionally) manually achieved, is time consuming - reducing spindle utilization on expensive machine tools, requires a certain...

The Makino DA500 five-axis vertical machining center is the latest in the growing Makino family. Its highly productive, and efficient design significantly reduces non-cutting time. With Single Setup five-sided machining, full contouring capability and optional turning capability its no wonder heads are...
