DEMONSTRATION: Titanium 5-axis Roughing and Contouring

Length: 2 min

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Makino's latest T-Series 5-axis horizontal machining centers with ADVANTiGE technologies enable manufacturers to dramatically increase the efficiency of their titanium machining operations with up to 4 times the productivity and tool life. In this "twisted channel" demo, you will witness the T4 perform a rough slotting operation in Ti 6-4 using an 80mm cutter with full 5-axis contouring. At 14 cubic inches per minute of metal removal, these capabilities offer significant reductions, if not full elimination, of semi-finishing passes to clean "terraces" or jagged edges traditionally left behind by multiple 3-axis passes. This means dramatic savings in cycle time and tooling costs, and ultimately a more competitive and profitable stance in the rapidly growing market for three-dimensional contoured titanium part production.
