The Technology Of Cutting

Where New Thinking in Production Automation Takes Shape

Bob HenryHave you found yourself wanting or needing to investigate more innovative ways to reduce your costs of manufacturing? Specifically, have you been trying to find new solutions to reduce labor costs and eliminate production bottlenecks?

There is a way to find new solutions and discover the technology of cutting with integrated, flexible systems and cells. A variety of completely automated and integrated process solutions can directly affect your cost of labor. These technologies can be developed specifically for your various parts and production operations by Makino engineers.

Learn how investment in these technologies will decrease your costs through shorter lead times, reduced setups, increases in productivity, improved part quality, reduced scrap rates, reduced WIP and lower direct and indirect labor costs.

Production systems illustrated in this issue are not only are reducing labor expenses, but also improving part delivery times. Perhaps even more importantly, Makino’s integrated systems can give you the flexibility to provide "rapid response" to changes in part demand or design.

Technology and Solutions  [back to top]
Makino can help you understand the principles of effective automation technology, including the machine tools, software, manufacturing process and systems integration. Our practical applications will prove how U.S. manufacturers are using automation to reduce costs and increase productivity with completely integrated systems.

Makino will be featuring our latest production and automation processes at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) for 2006. The biennial event is again being held this year September 6-13 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Almost 20,000 square-feet of floor space will be devoted to state-of-the-art technology exhibits that highlight Makino as the place "where new thinking in production automation takes shape." This will include demonstrations on our new machine technology, advancements in machining processes with various materials and integrated automation solutions.

Educational and Training Seminars  [back to top]
Make special plans to attend a "Lunch and Learn" training seminar on automation during your IMTS visit. This event will be held Friday, September 8 at the South Hall Meeting Room S104b at McCormick Place from 12 to 1 pm.

Makino at IMTS this year is virtually custom made just for you! If you walk away with nothing else, understand where our industry partnership is heading relative to advancements in the technology of cutting with flexible, automated cells and systems.
