MAKINO A99E HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino A99E is a four-axis CNC horizontal machining center featuring a 31.5" x 31.5" pallet with a 4,400-pound load capacity and Fanuc Pro 3 control. The machine utilizes a #50 taper spindle capable of 12,000 RPM at 40 horsepower, with an optional upgrade to 18,000 RPM. It accommodates 40 tools standard with optional expansion to 244 tools, delivering rapid tool changes in 1.7 seconds. The A99E provides substantial work envelope with 49.2" X-axis, 43.3" Y-axis, and 49.2" Z-axis travels, all achieving 1,969 IPM rapid traverse rates. The fourth B-axis rotary table enables 360° continuous indexing for multi-sided machining operations. Equipped with through-spindle coolant delivery, the machine achieves impressive metal-removal rates of 244 cubic inches per minute for aluminum and 61 cubic inches per minute for steel. Additional standard features include chip conveyor, air dryer, and data server integration with Super GI-4 capabilities for advanced monitoring and diagnostics. The machine's design optimizes productivity for job shops and production environments requiring high-precision components with minimal setup time and consistent repeatability.
