MAKINO MCC3016-VG HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino MCC3016-VG Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for high-efficiency, high-precision machining of large molds and dies. It features an X-axis travel of 118 inches, Y-axis travel of 63 inches, and Z-axis travel of 51 inches, providing extensive work envelope capabilities. The machine is equipped with a 12,000 RPM spindle, supported by cylindrical roller bearings and a patented core cooling system, ensuring minimal thermal distortion and exceptional accuracy during prolonged operations. The spindle taper is 7/24 No. 50, with a drive motor rated at 18.5/11 kW (40% ED/cont.), enabling robust performance for both roughing and finishing tasks. The MCC3016-VG utilizes a 30-tool automatic tool changer, accommodating tools up to 20 kg in weight and 550 mm in length, with a maximum tool diameter of 125 mm. The pallet measures 63 inches in width and 118 inches in length, supporting large workpieces with a maximum table load of 15 tons. The machine operates on a 4-axis CNC control platform, integrating Makino’s Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.4) technology for smooth tool path movement, high-response servo control, and outstanding machining accuracy even at high cutting speeds. The variable geometry (VG) head allows for versatile roughing and finishing operations in a single setup, reducing manual intervention and cycle times. Hardened, ground angular guides are integrated into the bed for superior rigidity, vibration damping, and long-term precision. This machining center is ideal for demanding applications in mold, die, and large-part manufacturing, delivering consistent, high-quality surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.
