Machining Small, Highly Complex Medical Parts
The Vertical Center Nexus Compact from Mazak is available in compact three- and five-axis footprints that fit easily into most facilities so shop owners don’t have to sacrifice valuable manufacturing floor real estate.
Large Complex Part Machining of Tough Alloys
The HMC 1600 from MAG uses a T-Rex high-torque spindle to deliver the stiffness and vibration damping needed for heavy, chatter-free cuts on large parts made of titanium, Inconel, hardened Carpenter stainless steel and other hard-to-cut alloys used in the aerospace industry.
Lights-Out Manufacturing
The Mycenter-HX800iLTGA horizontal machining center from Kitamura Machinery enables shops to incorporate unmanned machining that will optimize their uptime as they compete in the automotive, aerospace, heavy construction, oil field and power generation industries.
Turn-Mill Offers Independent, 5-Axis Subsystems
The R300 from INDEX is ideal for larger chucked parts that require significant milling and drilling work in machinery construction, tool and mold making and aerospace.
A High-Performance Toolpath to 5-Axis Machining
To fully gain a competitive edge through five-axis capabilities, a shop must first decide what milling techniques, toolpaths, and coinciding cutting tools to use for these machining operations. This primer from Sandvik Coromant can help make those decisions.
Drive Diagnostics and Your Maintenance Tasks
Hang onto your stopwatches, Randy Pearson of Siemens Industry explores how troubleshooting your machine tool just got a lot faster and easier!
Vertical Machining for Small to Medium Shops
Unlike most affordable VMCs that force shops to sacrifice performance for price, these new Value Master vertical machining centers from Hyundai WIA are bundled with high-performance options as standard that offer premium performance at an affordable price.
Faster Turning and Grinding of Complex Parts
Four new small-frame turning centers from Hardinge increase throughput and reduce cycle time on small-to-medium size complex parts, while a new grinding machine is ideal for aerospace, defense, energy, tool room, motorsport, automotive volume production and general engineering applications.
Turning/Milling for Contract Machine Shops
The G550T horizontal machining center from Grob Systems operates in the A & B axes and can also turn parts at 800 rpm to open up new opportunities for machining of wheels, certain housings and parts requiring both turning and milling in just one set up.
High Performance 5-Axis Milling
The innovative Mikron HPM series milling machines with pallet changers are ideal for both micro and macro applications involving processes from simple drilling to complex five-sided and simultaneous five-axis machining.
Mill/Turn Lathes for Complex Work
The Cyclone-52 BY2 9-axis multitasking machine from Ganesh Machinery combines turning and milling front and back for a finished part on a next generation CNC lathe.
Machining Large, Complex Die Molds
The new GE Series Horizontal Machining Centers from Enshu USA use high power 40 taper and 50 taper spindles that are well suited for high precision and rapid metal removal applications, including automotive, firearms, orthopedics, electronics and die mold.
