CNC Grinding Machines | Makino & Okuma

CNC grinding is essential for applications requiring exceptional surface finish, complex geometries and tight dimensional control. By combining grinding and milling within a single machine platform, advanced grinding solutions significantly reduce cycle times while maintaining high levels of precision. This approach is particularly suited to aerospace, die and mould, medical and other high-specification engineering sectors.

Makino Grinding and Viper Technology

NCMT is a Europe-wide distributor of advanced grinding solutions from Makino.

Makino grinding machines integrate high-performance milling and grinding within one highly capable machining centre. When combined with Viper Grinding software and process control strategies, manufacturers benefit from:

Significant reduction in part cycle times
Reduced non-cut and set-up time
Improved tool management
Greater process stability and repeatability

Viper technology optimises grinding parameters to maximise material removal rates while maintaining superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy, particularly in demanding aerospace applications.
