Makino has unveiled its latest innovation, the BX3, designed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of cooling film hole drilling in the aerospace sector. Built for high-volume production, the BX3 promises to deliver the efficiency and consistency crucial for modern engine programs.
Among its notable features, the BX3 offers fully submerged EDM drilling, enhancing machining stability, while the ES200A digital generator, offering up to 100 Peak Amps, ensures precision. The machine also boasts rapid positioning and an optimised rotary table, reducing non-cutting times. With a 24-station automatic tool changer, the BX3 supports extended unattended operations, making it a robust solution for manufacturers aiming to minimise downtime.
Additionally, the Hyper-i control system, coupled with integrated HyperConnect IIoT connectivity, highlights Makino’s commitment to incorporating cutting-edge technology for improved operability and efficiency.
Engineered to maintain precision while reducing non-value-added time, the BX3 is a significant addition to the manufacturing capabilities tailored for the critical aero-engine component sector. Those interested in seeing the BX3 in action as part of a comprehensive turbine component manufacturing process can attend the “Engineered For Power” event. Scheduled for 9 and 10 September, this event will be held at the NCMT Coventry Technology Centre, showcasing not only the BX3 but also advanced grinding and machining technologies specifically crafted for aerospace and power generation applications.
For further information on the BX3 and upcoming demonstrations, the event provides a unique opportunity for manufacturers and industry professionals.
