MCR-S Double Column Machining Center

MCR-S Double Column Roughs and Finishes Press Dies in One Setup  
Okuma’s MCR-S roughs and finishes press dies in one setup and is designed for heavy duty machining of process-intensive press dies. It features full 5-face and 5-axis machining and is excellent for die repair work. The MCR-S accommodates a wide range of stamping die requirements making it an ideal fit for the automotive and aerospace industries. It can easily handle hardened cast iron, nonferrous and exotic materials.

CNC Training Includes 5-axis Simulation

CNC 5-Axis Simulation Training Addresses Manufacturing Skills Gap
Growing interest in 5-axis machining continues as more operations look to produce complex parts used in high-tech industries, such as aerospace and medical devices. As this sector of the machine tool business increases, the demand for 5-axis operators will exponentially grow. Finding qualified workers to fill these positions will challenge many employers, who are already facing a tight labor market due to the widely known manufacturing skills gap issue.

Full-diameter slotting of steel

ProvenCut recipe 551 shows how to achieve a high material removal rate while maintaining a reliable cut using a light-duty machine with a 6.35 mm (0.25") endmill to slot 4140 alloy steel.

The video, a supplement to our Shop Operations column in the June 2020 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering, shows the slotting operation in action. To learn more about when full-diameter steel slotting is the only option, read the related Shop Operations column.
