Extrusion dies are traditionally produced on vertical machining centers however there are many advantages to using a horizontal. This video shows a Makino horizontal machining center roughing and finishing a Z-contour path on an extrusion die using a 4mm neck ball endmill for roughing, and a 2mm ball pencil-style mill for finishing. The additional B-axis and pallet changer enable automated window fixture machining, for continuous around-the-clock machining.

For more on Makino's extrusion die testing on horizontals and Makinos 5-axis capabilities, visit http://www.makino.com/library and view the New Methods for Extrusion Die Manufacturing webinar.
