MAKINO A61NX‚ÄË5E HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino A61NX-5E is a precision 5-axis horizontal machining center designed for high-efficiency aluminum machining of small to mid-size, complex aerospace components. The machine features X-, Y-, and Z-axis travels of 28.7", 28.7", and 26.8" respectively, with rapid traverse rates of 1,890 ipm on all linear axes. It is equipped with a direct-drive rotary table offering B-axis tilt from -110° to +180° and 360° C-axis indexing at .0001° resolution for simultaneous 5-axis machining capability. The spindle operates at 24,000 RPM with 80 HP (59.66 kW) output and 240 Nm duty-rated torque, delivering maximum feedrates of 1,969 ipm. The machine accommodates a standard 60-tool magazine with options expanding to 313 tools, featuring ultra-fast tool change times of 0.90 seconds with 2.40-second chip-to-chip capability. The pallet system utilizes two 15.75" x 15.75" pallets with 300 lbs load capacity each, employing an innovative 45-degree pivot pallet changer for ergonomic operator loading at 32 inches height. Enhanced rigidity stems from a three-point bed casting and tiered column structure with an advanced thermal management system that displaces heat from the table for improved speed and positioning accuracy. The machine includes Fanuc 31i-MB Professional 5 CNC control with 12" color TFT display and USB connectivity, making it ideal for high-speed, high-performance aerospace aluminum machining operations.
