MAKINO
The T4 was engineered for machining the largest size of aerospace structural parts.Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been extensively applied to aerospace structural parts to reduce the weight of aircraft and improve their fuel economy. The use of titanium alloys has also been increasing recently because their coefficient of thermal expansion is compatible with that of CFRP. Machining productivity is extremely low for titanium alloys because their hard-to-cut nature limits the cutting speed owing to the relationship with tool wear. Makino has developed the T4 to improve machining productivity for these hard-to-cut materials. Typical machining applications for the T4 include edge frames and pylons.
