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...

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...

Presenter: John Einberger Adaptability: the ability to change to meet new challenges as they evolve.  In the production machining world, this means the ability to turn a general purpose, stand-alone machine into a customized adaptation to respond to changing needs.  How does Makino support...
