MAKA PA 37 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAKA PA 37 is a 5-axis vertical machining center designed for high-precision, heavy-duty applications, primarily machining aluminum profiles and sheets. Its travel dimensions are approximately 275.59 inches (X), 23.62 inches (Y), and 16.53 inches (Z), supported by a heavy mobile portal gantry with dual-side gantry drives to ensure maximum stability and accuracy. The machine integrates a 21.49 hp water-cooled milling spindle capable of variable speeds up to 24,000 RPM, with axis control for left and right rotation, supporting threading up to M12. It uses an automatic tool changer with an HSK-F63 interface and a tool magazine accommodating up to 32 tools, including options for special and long-length tools. The control system is a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl CNC, known for its flexibility, high processing speed, and advanced 5-axis machining capabilities including RTCP function for precise tool orientation. The CNC system features extensive memory, a 10" touchscreen display, and supports Ethernet connectivity for integration into industrial networks. Rapid traverse speeds reach up to 45 m/min in X and Y axes and 24 m/min in Z, with rotary A- and B-axes capable of high-speed motion for complex geometries. The PA 37's robust gantry design, hydraulic workpiece clamping, widened base frame for drag chains, and sophisticated NC-supported crosshead positioning make it ideal for large-scale, demanding milling tasks, offering precise, efficient profiling and machining operations with advanced automation features tailored to complex production requirements.
