MAKINO A61NX HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino A61NX is a robust 4-axis horizontal machining center designed for high-precision production work. Featuring a 19.7" x 19.7" pallet table with dual pallet capability and full 4th axis indexing, this machine accommodates workpieces up to 1,540 lbs. The horizontally-oriented CAT40 spindle delivers 30 HP with standard speeds of 12,000 RPM, expandable to 18,000 RPM for high-speed applications, generating 303 N·m of torque for demanding cutting operations. The machine offers substantial machining envelope with X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 28.7", 25.6", and 31.5" respectively, supporting rapid traverse rates up to 2,362 ipm across all axes and cutting feedrates reaching 1,969 ipm. The 60-position automatic tool changer with optional expansion to 313 positions enables rapid tool changes in 0.9 seconds tool-to-tool and 2.5 seconds chip-to-chip, maximizing productivity. Constructed with rigid box ways and reinforced casting design, the A61NX delivers exceptional stiffness for maintaining dimensional accuracy throughout extended production runs. Standard equipment includes Fanuc Professional 6 CNC control with full B-axis indexing, helical interpolation, through-spindle coolant delivery at 300 psi, hydraulic clamping, and integrated probing for automated tool length measurement. The machine's robust construction and proven reliability make it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing applications requiring precise multi-axis machining of complex components.
