On March 17, 2023, Makino Milling Machine began marketing the MAG4 (B ver.), a 5-axis machining center designed to meet growing demand in the aircraft industry.
According to Boeing, global demand for passenger and freighter aircraft over the next 20 years is projected at 41,170 units. In addition, recent large-scale aircraft orders—such as ¥5 trillion from a Chinese airline, ¥10 trillion from Air India, and ¥5 trillion from a Saudi Arabian airline—are contributing to renewed growth in the market. The average annual growth rate of air passenger demand is estimated at 3.6%.
In response to this expanding market, Makino developed the MAG4 (B ver.) as the latest addition to its MAG series, which includes the MAG1, MAG3, and MAG3.EX.
The MAG4 is designed for high-productivity machining of large aluminum components, such as ribs for aircraft wings and body frames. It combines high-speed, high-performance spindles, agile feed axes, and long-term automatic operation. It is also well suited for machining large aluminum parts used in high-speed rail vehicles.
