MAG demonstrates low-torque, high-rate metal removal for titanium roughing at IMTS
MAG's Max-Flute high-performance end mills enable machining of internal structures in titanium, Inconel and stainless steel components with removal rates of up to 8 in3/min with only 25 ft lb of torque.
New CYCLO CUT Max-Flute high-performance end mills from MAG innovate titanium roughing with a 16-flute design capable of high removal rates at low torque. The high-density end mills run at 2037 rpm and 231 IPM to achieve removal rates of up to 8 in3/min with only 25 ft lb of torque and 9 hp.
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Fleischer returns to his chair at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
The MAG group has accepted Prof. Dr. Jürgen Fleischer’s request to resign his position as MAG Chairman as of September 30, 2010, and return to his position as professor of manufacturing and assembly technology at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
Breakthrough in cryogenic machining dramatically increases hard-metal removal rates and/or tool life – demonstrated at IMTS
Patent pending through-tool design cools cutting edge more efficiently than ever before possible. Can be combined with minimum quantity lubrication for even greater speeds and tool life.
MAG Industrial Automation Systems will exhibit a breakthrough in cryogenic machining at IMTS, demonstrating a new U.S. Navy-sponsored development that utilizes a unique through-spindle, through-tool cooling system. The multi-patent pending development cools the cutting edge more efficiently than ever before possible, enabling dramatically higher cutting speeds for increased metal removal, longer tool life or a blend of the two advantages.
What was old is new again, and more productive, with CNC retrofit solutions from MAG
Pre-engineered retrofit kits available for MAG's legacy brand lathes, HBM's, and milling machines. Fadal retrofit to be exhibited at this year's IMTS.
A new CNC retrofit program from MAG allows older equipment to enter a new realm of productivity, often exceeding original specifications, and extending the life of some of the most durable, well-known machine tools from MAG legacy brands, including Giddings & Lewis, Cincinnati Milacron and Fadal.
MAG titanium profilers begin production at Russian Boeing plant
The last of six five-axis gantry profilers installed and running at Ural Boeing Manufacturing for production of landing gear components.
Six five-axis gantry profilers from MAG Industrial Automation Systems have completed installation at Russia's Ural Boeing Manufacturing (UBM) plant and are ready to begin making landing gear components for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Boeing 777 and other aircraft. The six titanium profilers, part of a 34-machine order valued at more than $74 million, were installed in UBM's new Landing Gear Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Verkhnyaya Salda, Russia.
Heavy-duty HMC series adds new tilt-spindle for 5-axis productivity on aerospace and energy parts
Large-part HMC Series adds 180,000-position A-axis tilt-spindle to headstock options, which also include high-torque 2600 Nm titanium spindle
MAG's modular HMC 1250/1600 Series will be exhibited at IMTS with a new 180,000-position A-axis tilt-spindle for 5-axis horizontal machining on large aerospace and energy parts. The HMS1250/1600 Series now includes six spindle options to suit special-purpose or general machining requirements.
Supersize vertical turning centers aim for wind and nuclear parts, with 5.5 m maximum height under rail and up to 9 m swing
Rigid, two-column design includes fixed- and adjustable-rail models, all with multi-processing options for live spindle machining and grinding.
Receiving market introduction for IMTS, MAG's new vertical turning centers with 5 to 8 meter tables, are engineered to make short work of large-part manufacturing for a variety of industries, including wind and nuclear, offering multiprocessing machining capabilities with high-end specifications like 2500 mm ram travel and 1500 mm minimum height under the rail. The modular machine design is built for high metal removal rates on large parts, with twin columns mounted to the base, 150,000 to 250,000 kg table load capacity, and 350 mm cross-section ram for extreme rigidity and chatter-free machining.
