Filter by Process Zone:
Reduced Setup in General Purpose Machining
The Multus B200II multi-function machine from Okuma America reduces setup time by virtually eliminating repetitive fixtures.
Machining Aerospace and Power Generation Parts
The high accuracy, ultra rigidity and advanced automation of the versatile HU100A-5XL from Mitsui Seiki can be customized to suit specific user needs easily and affordably.
General Purpose Milling
The new Mitsubishi MCV Milling Diamond Cut vertical machining center from MC Machinery Systems is one of several new machine tools backed by an industry-leading service and support network.
Ultra High Speed Machining of Impellers, Dental, Medical Parts
The advanced spindle technology and controls on the new Matsuura LX-160 two-pallet, five-axis vertical machining center from Methods Machine Tools are also ideal for the super precision machining of precision molding or optical parts.
Done-In-One Turning Centers
DS-30 Series Y-axis turning centers from Haas combine dual-spindle turning with Y-axis, C-axis, and live tooling to reduce cycle times with fully synchronized turning and off-center milling, drilling, and tapping for on-the-fly part pass-off.
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.
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.
