MAKINO MAG A6 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Makino MAG A6 is a 5-axis horizontal machining center engineered for high-speed production of medium to large aluminum components, particularly aerospace airframe parts. The machine features substantial work envelope dimensions with X-axis travel of 244.1 inches, Y-axis travel of 86.6 inches, and Z-axis travel of 25.6 inches, providing ample capacity for complex part geometries. Equipped with a horizontal spindle reaching 33,000 RPM and delivering 119.3 kW of power, the system achieves rapid traverse rates of 5,560 inches per minute across all linear axes, enabling efficient cycle times. The 5-axis configuration includes 220-degree A-axis rotation (±110 degrees) and 360-degree C-axis rotation, facilitating simultaneous multi-face machining without part repositioning. The automatic tool changer accommodates 120 tools with rapid exchange capability—13 seconds for standard tool changes and 20 seconds including chip removal—minimizing nonproductive spindle-idle time. This configuration makes the MAG A6 ideal for aerospace manufacturing environments where precision, speed, and production flexibility are critical requirements for machining intricate monolithic aluminum structures and complex three-dimensional components.
