Makino GF12 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 84.9 inches in length by 47.2 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 15,400 lbs, making it ideal for heavy-duty machining applications. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a #50 taper, providing high rigidity and stability for demanding cutting operations. The spindle delivers a maximum speed of 8,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 15,000 RPM, and is powered by a 25 HP motor (30-minute rating) for strong performance across a wide range of materials. Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 30 tools, expandable to 50 tools, and a tool change time of 5.5 seconds for efficient production cycles. The machine operates on three axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 66.9 inches, 47.25 inches, and 27.6 inches respectively. All axes offer a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 472 inches per minute, ensuring fast and precise movement for high productivity. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer keeps the configuration focused on core 3-axis milling tasks. This machining center is engineered for high accuracy, durability, and versatility in industrial environments, suitable for large and heavy workpieces requiring powerful and reliable CNC milling.
