Makino D-Series Vertical Machining Centers for Machining Aerospace Components

Designed for small-to-medium-size aerospace components, Makino’s D-Series 5-axis vertical machining centers enable manufacturers to reduce setups, slash cycle times and achieve precision accuracies in complex titanium machining processes. Their ultra-high-torque, direct-drive rotary table design provides outstanding positioning accuracy and repeatability with superior acceleration and rotational speed for cycle time reduction of up to 60 percent in complex, three dimensional titanium machining applications. For enhanced productivity, all D-Series machines can be easily upgraded for automation with an automatic pallet changer.

    Executive Summary

    Tool selection in the machining of titanium is unlike that of standard material processing. Based on the part geometries and specifications of the machining center, new considerations should be taken into account in choosing the most efficient tools for the job. In this presentation, Kennametal looks at how to define efficient processing of titanium through a variety of case studies. By evaluating specific challenges, solutions and other background details, the presenter determines how manufacturers can gain a competitive edge in their titanium machining processes with a complete tooling solution set.

    Executive Summary

    Highly efficient machining of titanium looks not just at the machine tool, but also machining conditions, such as tooling, tool paths, cutting speeds, depth of cut and temperatures in the cutting zone. In order to drive down costs, manufacturers must optimize all critical aspects of the cutting zone for greater productivity and extended tool life. This presentation discusses the collaboration of ATI’s metallurgists, scientists and engineers in providing an effective understanding, techniques and solutions for improving the machinability of titanium alloys. Through the data they collected, ATI examines all factors that impact the machinability of titanium, including machine tools, component material, machining conditions and the cutting-zone environment. Specific considerations are given to cutter geometries and how they influence conditions of metal removal and temperature.

    Executive Summary

    Deeper Cuts, Higher Metal Removal Rates and Reduced Tool Wear with ADVANTiGE Active Damping System
    By adjusting frictional forces based on low frequency vibration sensing, the ADVANTiGE Active Damping System avoids chatter and cutter damage resulting from structural resonance in real time. This vibration suppression enables deeper cuts, higher metal removal rates and reduced tool wear.

    This presentation describes in detail the principles of vibration damping and machine rigidity, including the four major components to Makino’s Active Damping System.

    Additional examples in this presentation also show the significant differences between conventional cutting performances and those enhanced by Active Dampening.
