MAKINO FB127 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table sized 55.1" (L) x 27.6" (W) capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,400 lbs, ideal for heavy-duty machining. It operates on a 3-axis system with travels of 47.2" (X), 27.6" (Y), and 17.7" (Z), and achieves maximum rapid traverse rates of 630 inches per minute on all axes, enabling efficient high-speed positioning. The spindle is vertically oriented with a standard #40 taper and an optional HSK-A63 taper, supporting high-performance machining operations. The spindle offers a top speed of 20,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 30,000 RPM, powered by a 25 HP motor rated for 30 minutes, with an optional 23 HP motor. This high-speed spindle configuration allows for aggressive cutting and fine surface finishing. Tooling is managed via an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 30 tools and an optional extension to 60 tools, ensuring flexibility for varied machining tasks. Tool changes occur within 5 seconds, minimizing downtime. This machine does not feature support for rotary tables, pallet changers, or a U axis, focusing on reliable three-axis conventional vertical milling operations. Its construction supports high load capacities and precise machining for large, heavy workpieces, suitable for industries requiring robust milling capabilities. The combination of advanced spindle speeds, substantial table capacity, and rapid feed rates equips this center for demanding production environments.
