MACHINING TITANIUM:<br />
HOW TO REMOVE<br />
MORE METAL HERE<br />
AND LESS METAL HERE<br />
THE a81M.<br />
Recently the Makino a81M horizontal machining center cut a titanium landing gear bracket at pennies per<br />
cubic inch of metal removed. Not only was the cost per part lower, but the metal removal rate was higher<br />
and the tool life longer. Specifically designed for machining difficult materials, the a81M is a stiff and rigid<br />
machine tool. When you add in Makino’s high-torque spindle and fast acceleration and deceleration, you<br />
have a machine that’s made for machining titanium. To see how you can machine titanium and have more<br />
money in your pocket, visit us at www.makino.com/Ti.<br />
