In this webinar, Mike MacKay of MacKay Manufacturing presents his Evolution of Lean Manufacturing. Mike's shop has implemented Makino's pallet handling system, the MMC2, and Mike will tell you how he's reduced setup times, labor costs and cost per part while increasing efficiency, productivity...
In this second part of this series, actual cutting tests will be highlighted and demonstrated to compare 2+3 vs. 5 axis machining. Makino will discuss why 2+3 machining might be a better fit than full 5-axis processing for your die/mold manufacturing operation. Learn about the superior programming capabilities,...
Learn about new methods to machine carbide blanks in the 80+HRc range. Carbide materials can now be efficiently machined utilizing new hardmilling processes on Makino vertical machining centers. Standard off the shelf CBN cutters are being used to rough, semi-finish and finish the hardest of carbide...

Without question, it's the best way to keep your machines up and running at peak performance. In this seminar, Makino will discuss the advantages of preventive maintenance, and the risks associated with not doing it.
In this seminar, Makino will discuss why 2+3 machining might be a better fit than full 5-axis processing for your die/mold manufacturing operation. Learn about the superior programming capabilities, blending, part accuracy and surface finishes possible with 2+3 machining.
To produce parts quickly and accurately, without scrap, there are technologies that can easily be applied and meet 6-sigma requirements. Makino will share some of its experience with machine features that reduce part variability.
The keys to efficiently machining titanium are increasing metal removing rates while increasing tool life. New machine tool and tooling technologies allow manufacturers to achieve dramatically improved titanium milling, lowering the cost per part. Makino reviews examples of test cuts showing the advantages...
It's the ultimate tool in helping to reduce machining costs. A Makino Regional Manager shows how to apply the latest automation techniques to your operation -- whether you're a production unit, a job shop or a die and mold operation.
In this Webinar, Makino discusses 5-axis machining platforms to further the efficiency of aluminum parts production. Difficult parts are discussed, like those with thin walls or with complex, dynamic considerations. "Many aerospace components are complex, with features such as thin walls that require...
