Makino invites Farnborough attendees to discuss machine tool innovations

Mason, Ohio – Makino plans to share the latest machining and process solutions for aerospace manufacturing July 11-15 at the 2016 Farnborough International Airshow in Hampshire, England. The company is slated to host discussions at its business chalet, C4, regarding new technologies specifically for blades and vanes, machining small to mid-size aluminum structural parts, and large titanium parts.

“The global aerospace market is sophisticated and demanding complex aircrafts at a faster rate than ever before. That’s why our team is excited to connect with manufacturers on how to meet increasingly stringent requirements at this year’s Farnborough Airshow. Visitors to Makino’s chalet will have the opportunity to consult with our senior executives to identify new solutions for solving their unique challenges,” said David Ward, horizontal product line manager at Makino Inc.

Makino is set to showcase its aerospace manufacturing solutions detailed below in booth D20 of Hall 3.

Blade and Vanes

Makino’s EDBV-Series EDM hole-drilling machines are designed for the production of film cooling holes and diffuser shapes in aerospace blades and vane segments.

The G5 and G7 5-axis horizontal machining centers enable aerospace manufacturers to switch from milling to grinding of aerospace blades, vanes, turbine disks and other complex applications in one machining platform.

Aluminum Structural Parts

For 5-axis machining of monolithic aluminum structural parts, the Makino MAG-Series horizontal machining centers offer high-speed, high-precision performance for parts ranging from 1.5m to 20m (59.0" to 787.4"). Makino has designed the MAG-Series to be fully compatible with theMMC2 linear pallet pool system.

The T1 5-axis horizontal machining center is purpose-built for parts of any shape and any material and shares much of the ADVANTiGE technologies that were introduced with the larger purpose-built T2 and T4 machines.

Large Titanium Structural Parts

Makino’s T2 and T4 5-axis horizontal machining centers are designed for the production of large titanium and titanium-alloy aerospace parts such as edge frames, pylons, and bulkheads.
