Give Your Machines a Titanium ADVANTiGE™
Titanium—and your ability to machine it—can open new opportunities for your shop. As one of the most essential materials in aerospace, medical, and industrial applications, titanium plays a critical role in aircraft turbines, structural components, engine parts, orthopedic implants, screws, and bone-fixation devices.
But machining titanium efficiently and cost-effectively requires more than just the right machine—it demands a well-developed process that balances machine tool capability, cutting strategies, and material properties.

Titanium Expertise at Your Fingertips
Makino’s Titanium Research and Development Center in Mason, Ohio, connects you with a specialized team of titanium engineers. Collaborating with global tooling and consumable vendors, these experts develop cutting-edge titanium machining solutions to help your business succeed.
T-Series Automation for Unattended Titanium Machining
Makino T-Series machines can be seamlessly integrated with an automatic pallet transfer and storage system within a highly flexible Makino Machining Complex (MMC2), Makino’s own modular flexible manufacturing system, comprised of Linear Pallet Pool System. This automation solution automatically assigns work and initiates machining, maximizing spindle utilization and ensuring extended periods of unattended operation.
ADVANTiGE™ Technology: The Key to Titanium Productivity
Makino’s exclusive ADVANTiGE™ technology is designed to dramatically increase tool life and productivity compared to conventional titanium machining.
Solving Common Titanium Machining Challenges: Higher metal removal rates – Overcome slow cutting speeds Extended tool life – Minimize wear and reduce costs Superior stability – Reduce chatter and cutting forces
How ADVANTiGE™ Works
Autonomic Spindle Technology – Protects the spindle, part, and tooling by automatically adjusting to excessive cutting forces.
High-Pressure, High-Flow Coolant System – Directs coolant precisely to the cutting zone for efficient chip evacuation, improved lubrication, and faster cutting speeds—especially with multi-flute tools.
Vibration Damping System – Uses real-time low-frequency vibration sensing to eliminate chatter and prevent cutter damage, allowing for deeper cuts and longer tool life.
Rigid Machine Construction – Ensures maximum stability, reducing tool chipping and improving metal-removal rates.
Innovation That Moves Titanium Machining Forward
Our Titanium R&D engineers are continuously pushing the boundaries of titanium machining technology, developing new solutions for every industry.
