Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has developed two floor-type horizontal boring mills, the MAF150C and MAF180C, with 150 millimeter (mm) and 180mm boring spindle diameters, respectively.

To build on the success of its compact 5-axis MIKRON HSM 400U LP high-speed milling center, GF AgieCharmilles is upping the ante with a larger-size machine platform called the MIKRON HSM 600U LP, creating a family of linear motor full 5-axis simultaneous machining solutions.

A new multi-tasking turning/milling center has a variety of modular options that tailor it to exactly those functions that are needed for a user's range of parts. With two turrets, 8- or 12-stations each, one main spindle and an optional sub-spindle, Amada Machine Tools America says its new S-10 can do more in one loading, often with simultaneous machining from live spindles on each turret.

The larger the component, the smaller the batch size. This is typically the case with heavy-duty machining in many branches of the industry.

END USER: A large aerospace manufacturer. CHALLENGE: Avoid buying a new machine by retaining use of a 25-year-old lathe. SOLUTION: Rebuild the lathe and retrofit it with a new control.
