Vertical Machining Centers

Economically priced and ideal for both small job shops and larger machining operations, vertical machining centers (VMCs) use vertically-oriented spindles with tools that stick straight down from the tool holder to approach workpieces mounted on a table for machining operations…

Cost Effective 5-Axis Milling

The Mikron HEM 500U delivers an attractive price/performance ratio for entry into 5-axis machining, especially for shops that do general machining and for those that process parts for the aerospace and defense industry.

2013 State of the Industry: Don Lane, Makino

Don Lane is the president and chief executive officer of Makino, Inc., which designs and manufactures horizontal and vertical machining centers, electrical discharge machines and production systems for the die/mold, aerospace and automotive industries in North and South America.

All-Vertical Shaft Machining

Chang’an Automobile decided to handle the comprehensive turning, drilling and grinding work required for this critical engine part with a multi-stage production line from EMAG that performs all of the machining processes vertically, a process that offers many benefits.

High Tech Increases Efficiency in Tough Jobs

The MMC-R modular automated robotic fixture-plate system from Makino competes in general machining markets by increasing machine and labor efficiencies when boring and milling tough and hard materials in high product mix, low volume production runs.

Factors You Must Consider When Purchasing a New VMC

In a typical production machine shop, the processing capabilities required can vary greatly between applications: some value power and torque over rpm, others value spindle speed more than torque or power. To ensure the highest level of productivity in all cases, all of these factors must be evaluated when considering a new investment in a vertical machining center.

Global Titanium R&D Center is a Showcase for Makino

Machine tool manufacturer Makino is focused on machining titanium at its new Ohio facility that includes state-of-the-art machine tools, specialized titanium machining and tooling experts, CMM equipment, and all the necessary tools and talent to further titanium machining technologies.
