The f6 boasts positioning accuracy within ±0.0015 mm and repeatability of ±0.001 mm. Such precision is supported by the state-of-the-art Makino Professional 6 control system, which offers an intuitive user interface for ease of operation. Additionally, the inclusion of Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.5) software allows for more efficient machining of complex geometries, resulting in both faster processing and tighter tolerances.

Makino’s commitment to enhancing the capabilities of precision engineering makes the f6 a valuable addition to any facility focused on mould manufacturing. The machine’s design considerations and technological advancements underline Makino’s reputation as a leader in the manufacturing industry.
