MAKINO MCC2516 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Makino MCC2516 is a robust horizontal machining center engineered for heavy-duty production environments, featuring a spacious work table measuring 118" x 63" with a maximum workpiece capacity of 33,000 lbs. The machine operates with a horizontal #50 taper spindle capable of reaching 15,000 RPM at standard configuration, with optional upgrades to 18,000 RPM, and delivers 40 HP standard or 67 HP optionally for enhanced cutting performance. The system provides three primary axes (X, Y, Z) with travels of 98.4", 63", and 51.2" respectively, each offering rapid traverse speeds and feedrates of 630 ipm. An optional fourth axis configuration adds simultaneous A-axis rotational control up to 105°, complemented by a full 360° B-axis rotation, enabling complex multi-face machining operations. The automatic tool changer accommodates 30 tools standard, expandable to 280 tools with optional pallet changer systems, facilitating extended unmanned production runs. The spindle features optional HSK100A taper compatibility for enhanced tool holding versatility. Optional support systems including index and rotary tables provide additional workholding flexibility for specialized applications. This machine excels in producing large aerospace components, industrial castings, and complex structural parts requiring precision and rigidity, with its horizontal spindle orientation optimizing chip evacuation and coolant management for continuous, high-efficiency machining operations.
