MAKINO A-92 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Makino A92 is a robust 4-axis horizontal machining center engineered for high-efficiency production of large components, particularly diesel engine blocks and construction equipment. The machine features dual pallet indexing with 0.001-degree accuracy, enabling seamless part changeover while maintaining precision. The horizontal spindle configuration delivers 8,000 RPM with 50 HP motor drive and CAT#50 taper, providing ample cutting power for demanding applications. Machine travels measure 59.80" (X), 49.20" (Y), and 53.15" (Z), with rapid traverse rates reaching 1,969 IPM for quick positioning. The dual-pallet system accommodates 39.4" x 31.5" workpieces, with individual pallet load capacity up to 4,400 lbs (expandable to 6,600 lbs), enabling efficient production workflows through automatic pallet exchange. The 146-position automatic tool changer achieves 5.4-second chip-to-chip cycles, minimizing idle time and maximizing throughput. Advanced features include a 1,000 PSI through-spindle coolant system for superior chip evacuation and heat control, Renishaw probe integration for automated inspection, and the Makino Pro5 CNC control platform supporting complex multi-axis programming. The machine's exceptional rigidity and stiffness permit high cutting forces throughout the work envelope without traditional limitations, translating to superior surface finishes, enhanced reliability, and reduced manufacturing costs.
