Makino introduces the F5 Pro6 vertical machining center designed to provide stiffness and rigidity for chatter-free cutting, agility for high-speed/hard-milling and accuracies for tight tolerance blends and matches typical of complex, 3D contoured geometry.
The VMC begins with a unique axis configuration, featuring no overhangs, and incorporates large castings. It then integrates 8 mm fine pitch ball screws and 0.05 micron scale feedback. Temperature controlled, core-cooled ballscrews and support bearings insure long-term thermal stability.
The machine features X, Y, and Z axis travels of 35.4”, 19.7”, 17.7” respectively, a 39.4” x 19.7” table and a maximum workpiece size of 39.4” long x 19.7” wide x 17.7” tall. With a table load capacity of 2,204 lbs. and a 30-tool magazine provides capacity for a wide array of tooling. An optional 60-tool magazine is available to provide a larger tooling compliment.
The machine features a 20,000 rpm, HSK-63A spindle which incorporates Makino’s patented core-cooling, under-race and jacket spindle temperature control system. It also includes the Makino Professional 6 Control.
