Our November workshop was a great success!

Moving Parts from Vertical to Horizontal Machining Centers:
A Makino Technical Workshop at ASI

The following is a description of some of the items covered in this informative seminar.

Part production is increasingly challenging today as pressures continue to mount from:

• off-shore competition from many lower-cost producers
• the availability of skilled labor continues to decline
• floor space is becoming scarce and more valuable
• production schedules are more demanding
• part complexity has risen and requires enhanced capability
• materials and tolerances have become more demanding
• just to name a few!

ASI’s Technical Workshops by Leading Suppliers are Educational and Enjoyable

While many shops continue to utilize vertical machining centers for a great many applications, the ideal solution to these issues is often the deployment of horizontal machining centers.  Horizontals are more productive, reduce the number of operations, part handling and set-up time; provide increased capability, higher accuracy, etc., resulting in greater throughput, better quality, lower total operating cost and the lowest cost per part for maximum profitability.

Makino is the world’s top producer of horizontal machining centers.  Learn the optimal process techniques from the industry leader to successfully transfer parts currently machined on verticals to horizontal machining centers.  You will gain valuable insight into how to achieve greater efficiency and throughput on your shop floor at ASI and Makino’s Technical Workshop.

Hours were 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and a buffet lunch was provided.
