A machining technology capable of increasing productivity by up to 10 times compared to conventional methods. Sugino Machine’s “ultra-high-speed machining” is a unique solution that dramatically increases material removal rates by integrating a machining center with a dedicated system. By significantly reducing machining time, it delivers outstanding performance, particularly in the following applications:

• High-mix, low-volume production
• Machining of complex-shaped parts
• Machining from solid (hog-out applications)

This article introduces the “ultra-high-speed machining” solution offered by Sugino Machine Singapore Pte. Ltd. for the Southeast Asian market, along with the key features of the dedicated machining center "X10."

Ultra-High-Speed Machining Using the Machining Center "X10" and Dedicated System

Sugino Machine’s ultra-high-speed machining is a proprietary technology that dramatically increases material removal rates by integrating a machining center with dedicated high-speed programs The machining center "X10"is specifically designed to maximize the performance of this technology, enabling stable machining even at high feed rates.

Large machines may lack sufficient acceleration and deceleration performance, while smaller machines can experience vibration due to insufficient rigidity. Sugino Machine’s machining centers are designed to provide both the rigidity and agility required for high-speed machining. In addition, ultra-high-speed machining is compatible not only with the "X10" but also with other Sugino Machine centers, such as the SC-V40a, when combined with the dedicated machining system.

Also Contributes to Longer Tool Life

In ultra-high-speed machining, deeper cuts along the Z-axis allow a larger portion of the tool to engage during cutting.

This provides the following advantages:
• Prevents concentrated wear at the tool tip
• Extends end mill tool life
• Reduces the frequency of tool changes

Furthermore, by maintaining a constant cutting load during machining, ultra-high-speed machining helps reduce the risk of tool breakage and chipping. In addition to shortening machining time, ultra-high-speed machining contributes to both stable machining and lower tooling costs.

Growing Demand for Aerospace Component Machining in the Philippines and Malaysia

Demand for aerospace component machining is expanding in Southeast Asia. In particular, the increasing presence of aerospace manufacturers in the Philippines and Malaysia is driving a growing need for high-precision machining.

A key characteristic of aerospace components is that, for safety reasons, they are often machined from solid blocks rather than produced as cast parts. However, this type of machining typically requires long processing times, which can pose a challenge for production efficiency. By adopting ultra-high-speed machining, processing time for such components can be significantly reduced, contributing to improved productivity for aerospace parts manufacturers.

Applications Where Ultra-High-Speed Machining Is Highly Effective

Ultra-high-speed machining is particularly effective in the following types of applications:
• High-mix, low-volume production
• Complex-shaped parts with multiple cutting areas
• Machined-from-solid components such as aerospace parts
• Aluminum parts that require long machining times

Because it significantly reduces machining time, it simultaneously enables cost savings and improved productivity.
