Automotive, truck and tractor, and heavy equipment OEMs and suppliers are under intense global pressure to cut costs. They all must compete globally in a changing marketplace that calls for near-instant production shifts. Today companies not only must manufacture parts at the lowest possible cost, they must have the agility to adapt production lines for changing volumes and new parts virtually overnight. We've been helping parts manufacturers cut costs and cycle times with Makino's highly productive machining centers, automation solutions and turnkey engineering and integration services. With our high metal removal rates, fast feed rates, greater accuracy and stability, and increased overall productivity, Makino machining centers provide demonstrably higher quality, shorter time-to-market and the flexibility to meet changing production volumes, shorter part life cycles and reduced machining costs. Makino's scalable solutions give manufacturers a flexible system that will meet changing demand while reducing part variability. Makino systems are designed to provide manufacturers with a highly reliable, capable and stable production process that performs with exceptional statistical consistency over time. The consistent quality of Makino systems has made them essential components of Six Sigma, lean manufacturing plants worldwide.
Makino machining centers consistently demonstrate the greatest potential for meeting this challenge by operating quickly and efficiently to cut materials fast, smoothly and accurately. On top of this essential performance, Makino machines are carefully designed for superior reliability, such as by incorporating unique features to prevent chips from getting into spindle taper.
At Makino, we believe that this fusion of a meticulously built machine an outstanding fundamental performance results in the production tools. When it comes to enhancing manufacturing capabilities, Makino machining centers contribute effectively in many valuable ways.
