MAKINO MCC 2013 VG HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2014 Makino MCC 2013 VG is a high-performance 6-axis horizontal machining center equipped with a FANUC Series 30i CNC control system, enabling advanced 3-plus-2 spindle indexing with 1-degree increments on the A and C axes. It features dual electric spindle speed ranges designed to optimize both high-torque and high-speed operations, with a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM driven by a 40 HP motor. The machine incorporates a Moiré scale feedback system on the X, Y, and Z axes, delivering exceptional positioning accuracy at 0.1 micron resolution. A full 4th-axis rotary table provides precise rotary positioning with 0.0001-degree resolution, enhancing multi-axis machining capabilities. This machining center supports rigid tapping as a standard feature, essential for precise threading operations. It has an extensive data storage capacity of 360 MB for complex machining programs and tooling data. The MCC 2013 VG provides substantial axis travels with about 80 inches on the X-axis and 51.5 inches on both Y and Z axes, supporting large workpieces and complex components. The tool changer capacity typically ranges up to 120 tools, facilitating continuous operation with minimal downtime. Additional features often integrated include coolant-through-spindle capability, Renishaw probe software for in-process inspection, automatic non-contact tool laser pickup, mist collector, multiple chip conveyors, flood coolant system, and versatile inch/metric selection. This machine is designed for high rigidity and precision, enabling efficient machining of aluminum and other materials with superior surface finish quality.
