Featured at IMTS 2014: New Machines, Education Events

Makino will showcase several new machining technologies at the show, including an automated mold manufacturing cell featuring a D300 5-axis vertical machining center, V22 graphite machining center, EDAF3 sinker EDM, and U53j wire EDM tended by an Erowa robot.

The Makino Machining Complex (MMC2) pallet handling system with an a61nx horizontal machining center will illustrate multiple machining activities in different materials.

A custom automated system with an a51nx horizontal machining system for high-volume part production will be shown, as will an automated 5-axis aerospace production cell featuring an a61nx-5E with a pallet pool system to help manage processing speed by keeping work flowing across the spindle quickly and efficiently.

The new a51nx-5xu horizontal machining center, designed with an attached workholding magazine and large tool magazine for extended hours of unattended machining, also will be showcased.

In addition to the demonstrations and displays, the company will host five lunch-and-learn events throughout the week. Each session is scheduled to include presentations from Makino customers, discussing realworld manufacturing challenges and how they applied technology to their operations to become more competitive and more profitable.
