Multitasking Machines
Filter by Process Zone:
Multi-Tasking Machining Reduces Lot Sizes of Complex Part Production
For six-sided complete machining of complex parts in volumes from one to 100,000, highly flexible Stama MT 733 series vertical spindle mill-turn centers from Chiron achieve process stability that can further reduce lot sizes through certainty the first part produced is usable.
Multi-Tasking Machining of Complex Geometries in Hard Solid Materials
For small batch size production of automotive parts, fittings, pneumatics, hydraulics and other precision parts, PC multi-spindle automatics from Schütte deliver turning, tapping, mill cutting, polygon cutting, eccentric drilling and rear-side machining operations in one setup.
Large Format Multi-Tasking: 3D Metal Printing with Hybrid Machining
The LENS Controlled Atmosphere Hybrid System from Optomec supports building, repairing, coating and finishing of metal parts up to 860 mm in size with 5-axis strategies that combine additive and subtractive operations in a single tool path.
Lights-Out Multi-Tasking with 5-Axis Hybrid Machining/Grinding
Vertex Hybrid G 5-axis vertical machining/grinding centers from Mitsui Seiki provide CMM-level precision in critical high speed milling and grinding applications for lights-out machining of die and mold, optical and tooling components.
Multiple Machining Processes Complete Complex Parts in One Operation
The MS40-8 multi-spindle automatic lathe from INDEX performs off-center drilling, thread cutting, inclined drilling, cross drilling, contour milling, hobbing, bevel gear cutting, multi-edge turning and more to completely process even very complex automotive, fastener, connector and aerospace parts in one setup.
High Precision Multi-Tasking Takes a Turn
To machine difficult, high-hardness materials with extremely high accuracy, the rugged Nakamura-Tome SC-300IIMYB multi-tasking turning center from Methods Machine Tools uses an extremely rigid turret for powerful cuts and fast machining that increases capacity.
Hybrid Multi-Tasking Expands the Part Processing Envelope
By combining a high-speed additive system and programmable welding automation with full 5-axis machining capabilities, the VC-500A/5X AM HWD multi-tasking machine from Mazak generates exceptionally precise sealing coatings, near-net shape part features, and can repair costly complex impellers, turbine blades, and tool and die parts.
Multi-Tasking Changes Everything
Shops are meeting the rising demand for high-mix/low-volume strategies by using innovative multi-tasking machines to fully optimize processes that encompass everything from the moment raw material enters into a shop up to the date the final part gets shipped.
Mazak to Open Florida Technical Center
Located in Orlando, this facility will serve the entire state, including the “space coast,” Tampa and Jacksonville regions.
Ultimate One-and-Done Multi-Axis Machining
To increase the profitability of machining fluid ends, gate valves, drill bits and pump housings used in oil and gas applications, the Heckert DBF 630 six-axis machining center from Starrag turns, mills, bores, drills and threads complete parts in one set-up.
Next Generation Robot Machine Tending
The modular MATRIS robot system from DMG MORI can be paired with turning centers, machining centers and 5-axis machines for flexible machine tending of high precision medical and automotive applications, as well as general machining operations.
New Company Pushes Metal Hybrid Manufacturing
KAM will use advanced technologies for aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, oil and gas, and tool and die applications.
