MAKINO A82M HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino A82M is a robust horizontal machining center designed for high precision and productivity in machining large workpieces up to 2,640 lbs. It features a 24.8" x 24.8" support table with standard indexing and optional rotary table capability. The machine utilizes a horizontal spindle with a CAT #50 taper (optional HSK100A) capable of up to 10,000 RPM and a 47 HP motor (30-minute rating), providing high torque for demanding machining operations. The automatic tool changer (ATC) holds 40 tools as standard, with an optional expansion to 187 tools, facilitating versatile tooling and efficient tool management with a rapid tool change time of 1.7 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 4 seconds. The standard dual-pallet system enables continuous workflow with two pallets. This 3-axis machine (expandable to 4 axes) offers travel distances of 43.3" (X), 32.3" (Y), and 40.1" (Z) with rapid traverse rates of 1,417 ipm on all axes, ensuring quick positioning and reduced cycle times. The B-axis provides continuous 360° rotation for indexing. The A82M is equipped with advanced CNC control (Professional 5) and supports high-thrust axes and high-pressure coolant through the spindle, enhancing chip evacuation and tool life. Its rigid construction and powerful spindle make it suitable for high-performance milling of complex parts with heavy cuts, supporting manufacturing in automotive, aerospace, and die/mold applications. Optional features include a rotary table, extensive tooling capacity, and pallet changers, making it a versatile solution for demanding horizontal machining tasks.
