This webinar will examine various application examples of very tight tolerances, geometric feature blends and very accurate tooling matches - between different tools - on long cycle time, complex, 3D die and mold parts. Topics that will be discussed include the machine tool technology incorporated in...
Discover a highly precise, and highly effective way of producing ultra fine holes utilizing the EDM process. This technology webinar will introduce an innovative, and highly accurate approach to producing ultra small holes below 0.100mm diameter. We will also illustrate comparisons with laser and conventional...
The recast layer and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) left on workpiece surfaces by the EDM process can be a problem in aerospace applications. Advancements in machine tool and generator design, along with spark generation technology, can reduce or eliminate both recast and HAZ. This Webinar will address these...
Any manufacturing advantage could be the winning margin on a die/mold project. Since tool length measurement is a necessary and repetitive task, saving just a little time (and effort) can return major benefits and provide a true economic edge. Tool length measurement can provide a means of reducing labor...
Broken tool detection can be very beneficial – insuring that the tool is functional - and preventing potentially dangerous, and costly, machine “accidents” part quality issues and lost production. However, broken tool detection – if not implemented correctly - could also increase...
For some parts, thread making is a significant part of the cycle time, for others it is a short after thought. However, for almost all parts, it is the final operation, potentially making it very stressful. A broken tap in an otherwise finished part can ruin your day. Here we will demonstrate how machine...
EDM’ers have always been challenged to produce fine surface finishes in shorter and shorter lead times combined with low electrode wear. In this webinar, Makino will discuss new performance technologies and methods to improve your die or mold applications and produce consistent, fine finishes over...
In this webinar, we will reveal actual manufacturing case studies that illustrate documented savings in tool costs. Also, we will illustrate the key factors that contribute to substantial improvement in perishable tool life utilizing direct cutting comparisons with empirical data and illustrations which...
More and more, modern day manufacturers are considering the use of titanium for their parts. View this Webinar to learn how Makino is working to improve the machining of titanium and change the economics of titanium's use.
Presenter: William Howard - VMC Product Line Manager Every project requires set-up in order to manufacture a part. Simply getting ready to machine can be time consuming, reduces productivity and machine utilization, is costly, can be subject to judgement & errors - and requires highly skilled...
