Filter by Process Zone:
Easy-To-Use Vertical Machining Centers for Precision Parts
VMC B series machine tools from SMTCL Americas are made of cast steel to machine workpieces up to 1,200 mm with speed and precision.
Heavy-Duty Die Sinker EDM for High Accuracy Machining
The Accutex DS-550CM Die Sinker EDM from Absolute Machine Tools includes a built-in C axis with 360 deg indexing, an automatic electrode changer, dielectric cooler, and custom tooling package.
High-End Wire EDM for Faster Speed, Improved Accuracy, Maintenance Savings
The linear shaft technology used by the AccuteX AL56SA Wire EDM from Absolute Machine Tools offers no backlash or lost motion, no guideway friction, no heat transfer, and fast servo and spark control when matched with the AccuteX 64-bit Windows CE control.
CNC Turning Centers Offer Improved Performance, Accuracy and Reliability
The compact Puma GT2100 series from Doosan includes 8 in and 10 in turning centers that deliver 60 percent more feed thrust for larger drilling capability with minimized cutting vibration and extended tool service life.
HMI Provides Common Language for Wire EDMs
The AC CUT HMI (human machine interface) from GF Machining Solutions gives enables shops to freely run any job on any one of their EDM machines – no matter when the part programs were first produced.
Milling, Drilling, Tapping and Boring Brake, Engine and Transmission Parts
The compact H15 and H15B horizontal machining centers from Sugino feature BT30 high-pressure, coolant-through spindles with maximum speeds up to 15,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm, respectively.
4-Axis Machining Centers Offer Increased Energy Savings
The Heller H 4500 4-axis machining center is capable of energy savings of up to 30 percent compared to conventional machine designs.
High Speed Horizontal Machining for Faster Cycle Times
With the inclusion of a lightweight column featuring a rigid stepped X axis rail design, HMC400 from OKK USA achieves a rapid feed rate of 63 m/min (2,480 ipm) with acceleration of 1 G (XYZ).
HMC Offers High Precision with Heavy Cutting Power
The HU63EX horizontal machining center from Mitsui Seiki is engineered to boost metalworking productivity with repeatable precision performance. In turn-boring operations on 10 consecutive workpieces, the HU63EX achieves concentricity within three microns, according to the company.
Machining Center for Producing Precision Graphite Electrodes and Similar Parts
The Tongtai TMV-510G machining center from Absolute Machine Tools has features provided specifically for graphite machining, with an arm-type ATC that keeps tools away from contamination and out of the work zone, and a standard full cover on top of the machine contains dust.
5-Axis Machining Center for Large Parts, Precision Die/Mold and Aerospace Applications
The D800Z vertical machining center from Makino handles workpieces of up to 1,000 mm in diameter and 1,200 kg in weight that can be machined in five axes, with great efficiency and fewer operations for reduced production time.
Unattended Next Generation Machining Center Handles Wider Variety of Parts
The Horizontal Center Nexus 4000-III Horizontal Machining Center from Mazak is ideal for shops looking to implement horizontal machining centers as go-to workhorse machines for high-volume part processing operations.
