MAKINO MCD1516-5XA HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The Makino MCD1516-5XA is a robust 5-axis horizontal machining center designed for high-precision die mold and complex component machining. It features a 39.47" x 39.47" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 5,060 lbs, accommodating large and heavy parts. The machine's spindle is horizontal with a #50 taper, delivering up to 15,000 RPM and a standard 30 HP motor, with an optional upgrade to 67 HP for enhanced machining power. The tool management system includes a 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with options for up to 120 tools, offering efficient tool change times of 16 seconds (tool to tool) and 21 seconds (chip to chip). It supports two pallets with a standard pallet changer, enabling continuous production efficiency. Its 5-axis capability provides extensive travel ranges: 59.1" on the X-axis, 63" on the Y-axis, and 51.2" on the Z-axis, with a 105° rotary A-axis for complex angular machining, all moving at maximum feed and rapid traverse rates of 630 ipm. This trunnion-style rotary table setup allows simultaneous 5-axis machining with multiface indexing, enhancing flexibility and accuracy for intricate mold and die work. The MCD1516-5XA is optimized for large part machining, offering robust construction and advanced CNC control, making it suitable for high-volume, precise manufacturing environments. Its combination of power, precision, and tooling capacity makes it a versatile solution for demanding horizontal machining applications.
