Makino will showcase at CMTS the a500Z 5-axis horizontal machining centre, which minimizes the force path lengths both through the spindle as well as through the workpiece, transferring both cutting loads and reactive forces into the machine’s three-point leveled bed. The machine handles...
Makino introduces the F5 Pro6 vertical machining center designed to provide stiffness and rigidity for chatter-free cutting, agility for high-speed/hard-milling and accuracies for tight tolerance blends and matches typical of complex, 3D contoured geometry. The VMC begins with a unique axis...
Makino has introduced the U6 H.E.A.T. Extreme Wire EDM machine, featuring 0.016” coated wire technology that increases rough machining rates up to 300 per cent compared to traditional 0.010” brass wire while maintaining comparable wire consumption rates of 0.6 ~ 0.7 lbs./hour. The new machine...
Makino introduces it next-generation PS65 and PS105 vertical machining centers. Both models feature enhanced design characteristics and next-generation technologies, including rigid design characteristics. Equipped with a standard 14,000-rpm, CAT #40 spindle (HSK-63A optional), the VCMs provide the...
Makino introduces the UP6 HEAT Wire EDM machine capable of achieving work piece positional accuracies of 1 micron, while providing X/Y/Z travels respectively of 650 by 470 by 320mm. The machine features a stationary work table design that helps improve positional accuracy and uses a programmable...
Makino introduces its horizontal five axis machining center, the a500Z. This HMC includes a factory built and fully integrated “Z-type” fifth axis to accommodate more complex part geometry challenges in a minimum number of workholding setups and machining operations. The kinematic arrangement...
Makino has released HyperConnect, a suite of industrial internet of things (IIoT) applications for electrical discharge machines (EDMs) that enhances user experience and efficiency and reduces machine downtime. They are available on all Makino EDMs equipped with Hyper-i control systems. The app...
Makino has introduced its next-generation EDGE series electrical discharge machines (EDMs), the EDGE2 and EDGE3. Built for general precision machining applications, both machines provide accurate and reliable performance for standard die/mold components or contract manufacturing with a space-saving...
Makino has released the next-generation MAG3.EX 5-axis horizontal machining centre for the processing of complex aluminum structural parts for the aerospace industry. It can handle common structural parts up to 4 m in length, including wing ribs, bulkheads, and beam-type components. Its X-, Y-, and...
Makino has introduced SGI.5, the latest version of its Super Geometric Intelligence software for high-feed-rate, tight-tolerance machining of complex, 3-D contoured shapes. Depending upon the specific geometry of the application, the software can provide 20 to 60 per cent faster cycle times while...
Makino, Mason, Ohio, has merged its SST Consumables division with Global EDM Supplies. The merger is expected to expand the company’s consumables business, provide customers with broader geographic reach, and increase accessibility to experienced technical services and support. “We are very...
Makino has introduced the a120nx horizontal machining centre, the largest machine in its nx series. This machine has X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 74.8, 63, and 66.9 in., respectively, and a pallet size of 39.4 by 39.4 in., which provides capacity for parts weighing up to 11,000 lbs. The machine...
Graphite typically is the standard electrode material for most electrical discharge machine (EDM) applications because they enable faster roughing cycle times and cost less than copper electrodes.
