Automation of machining operations will be essential for North American manufacturers to compete globally. Makino is introducing a simple, flexible robot system for 4 and 5 axis horizontal machining centers that can be installed quickly and facilitates numerous part families, with quick set up and cost...
Both 3+2 and simultaneous 5 axis machining will be discussed using a unique pyramid fixture equipped to handle 4 parts simultaneously, which maximizes spindle utilization and minimizes the setup time required per part. Makino's new D500 5 axis vertical machining center will be utilized to machine...
In Part 4 of the Tool Selection For High Performance Hardmilling we will discuss milling M4 62Hrc. This Webinar will be mainly focused on tooling and tool life. Feeds speeds and depth of cut as well as Toolpath style will be addressed. What to expect when cutting 60+ Hrc. The tooling that was used in...
In Part 3 of the Tool Selection For High Performance Hardmilling we will discuss milling S7 58Hrc. What is different from H13 50Hrc. Feeds speeds and depth of cut as well as Toolpath style will be discussed. The tooling that was used in the Part 2 when we discussed H13 50Hrc will be reviewed and evaluated...
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...
This webinar is focused on new technologies and new process methods for producing high temperature nickel alloy turbine blades and vanes. Using both real and simulated parts, Makino will demonstrate how their G series of 5 axis horizontal grinding and machining centers eliminate set up time, reduce WIP,...
With the significant increase in jet engine order backlogs and new fuel-efficiency requirements for engine designs, the production demand for high-temperature alloy parts is set to grow substantially. This is expected to put additional pressure on the supply chain and create demand for new manufacturing...
