Makino MAKINO L2 INDEXING - 5X VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino L2 Indexing 5X Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance, compact 5-axis machining solution optimized for high-volume, small-part manufacturing. It features a rigid construction and a small footprint (approximately 9.84" x 9.84" table size) to enable flexible integration into diverse production environments, including manual or automated part handling. The machine's vertical spindle supports HSK-A50 tooling, delivering up to 16,000 RPM with 20 HP (30-minute rating) for aggressive milling, drilling, and tapping operations, while an optional 8,000 RPM spindle configuration is available. Its 30-tool automatic tool changer minimizes non-cut times with a fast 3-second tool change, handling tools up to 3.14" diameter and 11 lbs in weight. Axis travels include 15.74" (X), 11.81" (Y), and 11.81" (Z), each capable of rapid traverse speeds of 1,890 inches per minute, maximizing throughput. The 5-axis capability includes a rotary A-axis with 220° rotation, allowing multi-side machining in a single setup. The work envelope supports workpieces up to 16.23" x 10.51" x 8.46" with a maximum payload of 132 lbs. The machine integrates a standard pallet changer system, facilitating continuous, unattended operation with quick 3-second pallet swaps. Hydraulic and pneumatic ports in the rotary table support advanced automation and fixture setups. The L2’s combination of rigid design, precise motion control (0.001° A-axis resolution), and high-speed spindle make it suited for precision, repetitive manufacturing demanding rapid, reliable, and accurate multi-axis machining.
