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...
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...
