Maxima Ltd. is an engineering
and R&D company founded by the
partnership of Sabanci University and
Manufacturing Research Laboratory
(MRL).
Maxima specializesin machine
tools and machining operations.
Analysis, modelling, measurements,and
simulation techniques are used in order
to increase the quality while reducing the
cost of the industrial operation that use
machining processes. These methods
enable users to select the optimum
cutting parameters in processes such
as turning, milling (including 5 axis
milling), drilling, broaching etc. In short,
Maximauses scientific methods and
approaches to increases productivity
and efficiency of classical and advanced
machining applications.The company
also serves in the area of manufacturing
engineering education. With experience
over 20 years in machining,they have
aclear advantage.
Maxima has an engineering team
with advanced degrees and strong
backgrounds in various aspects of
machining technology.
Services for Industry
Maxima serves aerospace, defense,
automotive and die/mold industries as a
consulter for improving the machining
operation efficiencies by using science
integrated manufacturing.

Software Development
The developed analytical models
are coded into Machining Studio which
is a machining simulation software
developed by Maxima computer
engineers. Machining Studio has several
modules including milling, broaching,
turning operations and a unique
database module developed specifically
for cutting data management:
›› BOSS-Broaching Operation Simulation
Software
›› BAMS-Blade Machining Simulation
Software
›› CDAMS-Cutting Data Management
Software
›› TURNS-Cutting Data Management
Software
By the help of Machining Studio
several physical parameters during the
machining process can be calculated
before the operation takes place
such as cutting forces, power, torque,
deflections, chatter etc. By the use of
these calculations, the following can be
obtained:
›› Selection of optimum cutting parameters
›› Chatter free cutting conditions
›› Problems such as tool breakage that may
occur during the process
›› Cutting tool geometry optimization
›› Cutting tool or machine tool performance
comparisons
Training Activities
Maxima also provides manufacturing
engineering education.
Especiallyon the following topics,
›› Basic training in machining process
mechanics
›› Force and vibration measurements in
cutting processes
›› Novel and emerging technologies in
machining
›› Machine tool dynamics and vibrations
›› Process simulation basics
›› Design for manufacturing
›› Machining for designers
