Implementing a horizontal CNC to our arsenal enables us to run larger castings and multi-cavity fixtures of high volume parts.  The Makino A40, a first-of-its-kind horizontal machining center is purpose-designed and built for non-ferrous die casting production. The machine has 23” X 24” working area for larger castings or a large number of smaller parts. It uses Makino’s intelligent ROI design to be one of the fastest horizontal machining centers for aluminum castings. - The spindle accelerates to 12,000 rpm in 0.5 seconds. - Completes tapping operations with the 6,000 RPM Rigid tapping synchronization speed. - Linear axis movement 18% faster than competitors. We are excited to add new technology to our operation that allows General Die Casters to produce high volume machined castings at a competitive price. **Check out the links below for more information on our equipment and capabilities:** - [Download our Complex Die Casting and Precision Machining Sheet](https://info.generaldie.com/die-casting-capabilities-precision-machining-sheet) - [General Die Casters Equipment Page](https://generaldie.com/equipment/) - [Read 'How Many Cavities Should I Build in my Die Cast Tool?'](https://info.generaldie.com/blog/how-many-cavities-should-i-build-into-my-die-cast-tool) [![Considering die casting for your next application?
