T2 Titanium Machining Center Maximizes Productivity in High-Volume, High-Accuracy Titanium Machining
Length: 29 min Speaker: Dave Ward
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Makino’s new T2 5-axis machining center is engineered and built to dramatically increase titanium milling efficiency for today’s aerospace applications.
This presentation describes the key technologies behind the T2’s unique capabilities. These technologies include a high-torque, high-power spindle with a rigid and compact tilting spindle head; a rigid machine structure, an active damping system to suppress machine vibrations; and a high-pressure, high-volume, through-the-spindle coolant system for optimal cooling and chip evacuation. The presentation also reviews the T2’s VP control and thermal stabilizer systems for machining accuracy, plus its Collision Safe Guard and Autonomic Spindle technologies for avoiding costly collisions and accidents.
