Advancements for Aerospace Manufacturing

Makino offers its latest developments for the manufacture of aerospace engine and structural components, including titanium, steel and aluminum milling, blade and vane grinding and EDM drilling of film cooling holes and diffuser shapes.

"Production demands in the aerospace market remain incredibly strong, and with continuous advancements being made in machine technology, manufacturers have more reason than ever to expand capacity and seize growth opportunities," said David Ward, Makino Product Marketing Manager. "Our expansive portfolio of equipment built specifically for the aerospace industry has undergone many software and hardware-based optimizations over the last two years, and we are excited to share how these developments are enabling manufacturers to boost productivity, improve quality and generate the greatest profitability."

Several key technologies that Makino offers include the newly updated MAG3.EX, DA300, a61nx-5E, T-Series, G-Series and EDBV-Series machining centers and electrical discharge machines.

Advancements in Machining Technologies

• NextGen MAG3.EX: Makino's MAG-Series 5-axis horizontal machining centers (HMCs) are designed for the aerospace industry to produce large aluminum structural parts. The NextGen MAG3.EX is an evolution in this platform design that provides advanced spindle capabilities, improved axial positioning and movement and enhanced motion control to eliminate non-cut times for aluminum structural part productivity.
• DA300: The DA300 5-axis vertical machining center (VMC) turns complexity into an advantage with rapid part positioning, dynamic motion control and high material removal rates in five-face machining applications. Optional workpiece pallet systems and expanded tool magazines provide expandable capacity for future growth.
• a61nx-5E: "Equipped with a 24,000 RPM, 80-kW duty-rated spindle, the a61nx-5E 5-axis HMC is a compact power house for productivity in small aluminum structural components," said a company spokesperson. When combined with the newly updated MMC2 automated pallet handling system, the a61nx-5E can achieve utilization rates of up to 95%.
• T-Series HMC: Built for titanium, yet flexibly designed to support a variety of additional materials, the T1, T2 and T4 5-axis horizontal machining centers provide aerospace manufacturers with a balance between productivity and tool life for low cost per part.
• G-Series: For high-nickel-alloy blade and vane production, Makino offers the G5 and G7 5-axis HMCs. Their combined flexibility and capability enable manufacturers to perform grinding, milling and drilling in one machine platform, in a single set-up.
• EDBV-Series: Makino's EDBV3 and EDBV8 EDM hole-drilling machines are purpose-built for the production of film cooling holes and diffuser shapes in aerospace blades and vanes. With the ability to produce a wide range of hole shapes and sizes in one set-up, the EDBV-Series machines help manufacturers save on tooling and cycle times.
