Recorded at Omega Tool Corp. of Windsor, Ontario, this video demonstrates the automatic pallet changing, laser tool length measurement and high-speed machining capabilities of Makino's A100E horizontal machining center. Used in the production of large automotive molds, the A100E's compact spindle design, B-axis rotary table and 132-capacity automatic tool changer have enabled Omega Tool to perform several different operations on a single machine for significant reductions in secondary machine operations. Its automatic pallet changer has dramatically reduced non-cut times due to setups for spindle utilization frequently over 90 percent and an overall 30 percent increase in speed compared to traditional vertical machining centers.
