Your Best Defence is a Makino a61nx

Makino’s a61nx: It’s rigid, precise and drastically reduces cycle times

In Defence, we know the above is fundamental to producing accurate parts. But what if we could tell you, what you’ll also achieve with a Makino a61nx Horizontal machining center?

Tool life lengthened

• Cost of tooling significantly reduced.
• Its rigid platform ensures tool deflection is reduced and wear and tear on the tool is also reduced.

Flexible

• Shorter part cycles and changing production volumes can be achieved with ease.
• Reduced machining costs to ensure each project is profitable, no matter how small the run.
• Large roller-type linear guides ensure a large variety and size of parts can be machined.
• Also available in a tall column (730mm) to enable machining of larger parts.

Automated, Un-manned Manufacturing

• The work-pallet magazine supports continuous unattended manufacturing. You can run continual shifts and only stop to re-stock the work-pallet magazine.
• This means you can have a skilled CNC operator set up the machine during the day and have a reduced workforce in the evening for continuous production.
