EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Makino’s T-Series Machining Centers with ADVANTiGE Technologies
Makino’s new T-series five-axis horizontal machining centers with ADVANTiGE™ technologies are built specifically for titanium aerospace parts such as edge frames, pylons and bulkheads as well as inconels, nickel based alloys and additional materials that are difficult to machine. These technologies can provide manufacturers with four times the productivity and double the tool life of conventional titanium machining operations.
In this presentation, Makino introduces the first machines of Makino's T-series, the T4 five-axis horizontal machining center, Makino’s flagship product for titanium machining, and the T2 five-axis horizontal machining center, which has the same DNA and technology of the T4 but in a much smaller package. This presentation highlights the many benefits associated with these two pallet-changing T-series machines, including increased productivity and tool life.
This presentation also provides a detailed look into the specifications for the machining centers which have X travels between two meters and 4.2 meters. It also takes a look at the machines’ unique features, including ADVANTiGE technologies; horizontal part orientation; high torque, high performance and compact built-in T-Series spindle; high speed and high torque rotary axes; rigid construction; thermal stabilizer; VP control; APC; large magazine ATCs; and high pressure high volume TSC.
