MAKA AP 70 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAKA AP 70 is a precision 5-axis CNC machining center engineered for demanding applications requiring large profile cross-section processing. This machine features generous working envelope dimensions with X-axis travel of 975mm (334.65 inches), Y-axis travel of 9,100mm (17.72 inches converted), and Z-axis travel of 575mm (8.86 inches), accommodating workpieces up to 8,500mm in length. Controlled by a BWO CNC 920 system, the AP 70 delivers multi-axis capability with rotational axes featuring ±270° (A-axis) and ±98° (B-axis) movement for complex geometries. The machine integrates a 12kW HSK 63F milling spindle with speed range from 1,000 to 20,000 rpm, enabling versatile material processing from rough to finish operations. A chain-type tool magazine with 32 positions supports rapid tool changes, while dual clamping stations with pneumatic devices ensure secure workpiece fixturing. The AP 70 operates on 400V three-phase power with 6 bar continuous pneumatic pressure and consumes approximately 2,000 liters per hour of compressed air. Weighing approximately 16,600kg overall, with the gantry and tooling assembly comprising 15,000kg, this rigid structure minimizes deflection during heavy-duty cutting. Permanent grease lubrication reduces maintenance intervals, while the machine's 52,751 operating hours (on used units) demonstrate proven durability. BWO CNC 920 control integration provides advanced programming capabilities and machine diagnostics for reliable production. The AP 70 excels in precision machining of aluminum, composites, and plastic components.
