MAKINO FLEXIBLE HORIZONTAL MACHINING CELL
(CASE MACHINING)

This line is currently set up for complete machining operations of an aluminum transmission case. Setup for one-man operation, the cell consists of 12 Makino A66 high-speed machining centers in a figure eight layout and workflow. Each side of the cell consists of 6 machines with load and unload stations. Operations 20 - 70 are machined on either side of the cell and perform all the required milling, boring, drilling, reaming, tapping etc. on all faces of the case. The cell is designed to machine 30 cases an hour and can be adapted to many applications. Please contact Joe Gibbs at joeg@gibbsmachinery.com for further information.
