MAKINO MAG1 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino MAG1 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-performance 5-axis CNC machine designed for high-productivity machining of complex aluminum monolithic aerospace parts up to 1.5 meters. Featuring a robust horizontal spindle with a #40 taper, the MAG1 delivers exceptional speed and power, operating at up to 33,000 RPM with a 107 HP (30-minute rating) spindle motor, ensuring high metal-removal rates and precision contouring. The machine’s table measures 31.500 inches long by 29.370 inches wide, supporting workpieces weighing up to 2,860 lbs. Its advanced 5-axis configuration includes an A-axis with 210° tilt (-110° to +100°) and a B-axis with 360° rotation, while the C-axis is not available. The MAG1 is equipped with a 120-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), providing rapid tool-to-tool change times of 17 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 20 seconds, maximizing spindle uptime and operational efficiency. Axis travels are extensive, with X-axis at 59.800 inches, Y-axis at 43.300 inches, and Z-axis at 53.100 inches, all supporting a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse of 1,968 inches per minute. The machine’s design minimizes setups and process variation, making it ideal for demanding aerospace applications. The MAG1 can be integrated with Makino’s flexible MMC system for extended unattended operation, further enhancing productivity and reliability in high-volume manufacturing environments.
