Staff from NCMT, the sales and service agent in the UK for Makino machine tools, will be present in the Japanese manufacturer’s chalet during the show to promote four distinct areas of production in the aerospace industry.
One is milling of aircraft structural parts in titanium alloys using Makino’s T-series of horizontal machining centres. Another is machining of aluminium aerostructures on the latest MAG and -nx series of 5-axis horizontal-spindle machines. A third highlight will be production of nickel alloy engine parts and other components using multi-axis, creep-feed VIPER grinding, combined with other machining operations. Finally, EDM drilling of holes in turbine blades will feature.
