Makino’s ADVANTiGE Technology Offers Four Times the Productivity and Double the Tool Life in Titanium Machining
Length: 12 min Speaker: Mark Larson
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Every manufacturer has different constraints and every part has different features that impact machining capabilities. To break through past limitations of low metal removal and limited tool life, Makino has developed ADVANTiGE, a series of five technologies designed for improved spindle performance, coolant delivery, vibration damping, machine rigidity and cutting strategies.
This presentation demonstrates the meaning of how ADVANTiGE technology achieves four times the productivity and double the tool life in titanium production. By examining typical and expected metal removal rates, cycle times and tool life for conventional machining centers, and then providing a brief series of sample parts machined on the Makino T4 five-axis horizontal machining center, Makino clearly conveys the benefits of ADVANTiGE technology.
