Amada Wasino America, Inc.

The Mi8 five-axis turning and milling center from Amada Wasino provides advanced manufacturing for industries that demand parts with extreme precision, such as medical and aerospace. The mulitfunction center is designed for manufacturing complex, multi-operation workpieces. The machine integrates a tool changer and auto loader, making it ideal for the die mold industry.

The J1 turret-type turning center is an entry-level machine, developed with the idea that everyone should be able to take advantage of automation, the company says. It is fully automated for rapid loading and unloading, and delivers high accuracy turning with 0.0001 resolution. It is available with a 5-inch chuck.

- Brochure describes Wasino's A-Series multitasking machine that mills and drills five sides; turns and bores; and loads and unloads- Illustrations explain each step of the machining process and components that have been machined on the equipment- Specifications are also listed, including information on gantry loaders and machine dimensions .

The GS-04T, twin spindle gang lathe is capable of independent machining of 1st and 2nd operations. The advance design of this machine can be configured for both bar feed and gantry-loaded operations. Spindle roundness, positioning accuracy and repeatability are measured in nanometers.

The JD-1 CNC lathe provides Swiss machine benefits for operations requiring smaller length to diameter ratios at a much more affordable price, according to the company. The JD-1 achieves the accuracy of Swiss machines, while adding to its performance with several design enhancements. First, Swiss machines require ground stock, and this lathe does not.

CNC lathes and machining centers provide the finishing touch for near-net-shape semiconductor housing parts.

This automated machining cell is reaping the advantages of balanced operations—and avoiding most of the problems that usually go with it.

Wasino's LJ-1 and LJ-5 turret lathes are said to make automation practical and productive for job shops and high-volume shops alike. Built on heavy cast-iron beds with hardened and ground box ways, double sets of angular-contact bearings, large diameter Hirth-type turret couplings oil-bathed X-axis ballscrews. The c
