MMT New Product Announcements
Makino’s Variable Geometry (VG) equipment revolutionizes the machining of large dies and molds and will be shown at IMTS. The MCC-VG Series horizontal machining centers provide a new concept of simultaneous three-axis machining and slanted hole machining, accomplished by tilting the spindle at an optimum angle for outstanding access to the machining point.
The tilted spindle on the MCC-VG allows for the use of shorter tools to achieve high-efficiency machining, preventing spindle and tool collisions on the table. Deep mold cavities and cooling holes can be machined in the same workpiece setup. Slanted holes can also be machined continuously at various angles without changing the setup.
