New Vertical Machining Center 's Rigid Construction, Thermal Stability, and Versatile Spindle Ideal for Automotive, Aerospace, and Medical Applications
Makino’s new PS-Series machines are the new standard in vertical machining centers for production machining, offering a reduction in cycle time, increased productivity, improved quality and minimization of capital investment. With the power of a Makino horizontal machining center in a vertical platform, the PS-Series is fully equipped and ready to tackle all parts and materials.
Makino will be introducing the new PS-Series vertical machining centers at imX 2011, where the company will also be discussing its latest research and developments in titanium machining, including ADVANTiGE™ technologies. By improving spindle performance, coolant delivery, vibration damping, machine rigidity and cutting strategies, ADVANTiGE is capable of four times the productivity and four times the tool life of conventional machining technologies. Attendees are going to have the opportunity to discuss Makino’s Ti ADVANTiGE technologies and view part samples created with the new T-Series, purpose-built 5-axis horizontal machining centers.
A session scheduled for imX will focus on Makino’s new PS-Series machines. The series features a field-proven design with key technologies from several of Makino’s most reliable production machines. Its rigid construction, thermal stability and versatile spindle are ideal for a variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace, medical and other small-component manufacturing applications.
In addition to the new machines, Makino has several demonstrations on tap throughout the show. Demonstrations are noted below:
- Ferrous part machining on the a61nx horizontal machining center
- Machining of carbides and other hardened materials on the UPV3 oil dielectric wire EDM
- The EDFH-1 sinker EDM performing fine-hole machining
- Submicron machining accuracy of the iQ300 precision micromachining center
