MAKINO A100E HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino A100E is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center engineered for large-scale industrial component production. This 3-axis machine (expandable to 4-axis with optional B-axis rotary capability) features a horizontal spindle with CAT50 taper and optional HSK100A configuration, delivering 12,000 RPM standard or 18,000 RPM optional with 40 HP at 30-minute rating. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 39.4" x 39.4" on its pallet table, supporting maximum loads of 6,600 lbs, with an optional rotary table available for enhanced machining flexibility. Travel capabilities span 66.9" (X-axis), 53.1" (Y-axis), and 55.1" (Z-axis) with rapid traverse rates of 1,969 ipm across all linear axes and optional 360-degree B-axis rotation. The automatic tool changer offers 40 tools standard (expandable to 302 positions optionally) with rapid 1.7-second tool change time and 5.9-second chip-clearing cycles. Standard equipment includes a dual-pallet changer, enabling continuous production workflow. The machine's substantial footprint of 212" x 394" provides an 80-percent larger work envelope than comparable Makino horizontal centers, making it ideally suited for aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy equipment manufacturing applications requiring precision machining of structural components.
