In Part 4 of the Tool Selection For High Performance Hardmilling we will discuss milling M4 62Hrc. This Webinar will be mainly focused on tooling and tool life. Feeds speeds and depth of cut as well as Toolpath style will be addressed. What to expect when cutting 60+ Hrc. The tooling that was used in...
In Part 3 of the Tool Selection For High Performance Hardmilling we will discuss milling S7 58Hrc. What is different from H13 50Hrc. Feeds speeds and depth of cut as well as Toolpath style will be discussed. The tooling that was used in the Part 2 when we discussed H13 50Hrc will be reviewed and evaluated...
What if a machine tool could quickly evaluate its accuracy and make adjustments to improve roundness and contour machining? Today’s control technology can accomplish this and even more. Makino’s new Geometric Intelligence software (GI.4) includes a new feature, Preparation for High Accuracy...
Versatility and productivity are key components to any successful job shop. Discover seven simple-to-deploy improvements for vertical machining centers that can increase your spindle utilization and dramatically reduce changeover and setup times. These improvements include new tool and chip management...
Learn how to approach rib milling from a different perspective, as we share a machining technique that allows for single pass, full depth machining of deep, thin ribs. In addition, we would like to introduce new tooling technologies and machining techniques that permit direct mechanical drilling of tungsten...
MASON, OH--March 2006--The dynamic 1-Series horizontal machining centers (HMCs) from Makino are now available with a 5-axis rotary table (5XR) designated option. This 5XR option is ideal for manufacturing applications that require maximum throughput and reliability. This 5XR option...
THE CHALLENGE For several decades, Holland Molds of Wadena, Minn., has been producing plastic injection molds primarily for the medical market. The company also supports businesses in the automotive, aerospace and recreational industries. When it reached the limitations...
Is your company one of the many who are machining aluminum or non-ferrous die cast parts? If so, odds are that you are using general purpose horizontal / vertical machining centers or light duty drill tap centers to produce those parts. While these machines are traditional solutions, they are not ideally...
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,...
