MAKINO MC2616-5XB HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino MC2616-5XB is a high-performance horizontal 5-axis machining center optimized for heavy-duty machining of large workpieces. It features a robust table measuring 98.42" x 39.4" capable of supporting parts up to 4,400 lbs. The horizontal spindle has a #50 taper, delivering a base speed of 4,000 RPM with an optional increase to 5,000 RPM, powered by a 30 HP motor standard and up to 67 HP as an option. The machine is equipped with a 60-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) standard, expandable to 200 tools, with a tool change time of 16 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 21 seconds. It comes standard with a dual-pallet changer system to optimize workflow and reduce downtime. The MC2616-5XB offers five axes of movement with extensive travel ranges: 102.4" on X, 63" on Y, and 55.1" on Z axes, each capable of rapid traverse rates up to 630 inches per minute. Rotational axes include an A-axis rotation up to 105 degrees and a full 360-degree B-axis rotation, enabling simultaneous 5-axis machining and multiface indexing for complex geometries. This machine incorporates advanced thermal stability measures and precision feedback systems to maintain machining accuracy during prolonged operations, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and heavy industrial applications requiring large, precise parts. The combination of high torque spindle, large work envelope, and extensive tooling capacity makes the Makino MC2616-5XB a versatile and powerful platform in horizontal 5-axis machining technology.
