Technical Description
The Makino MCD2016-5XA is a horizontal 5-axis machining center engineered for high-precision, heavy-duty mold machining of large workpieces up to 2 meters in diameter and 2.3 tons in weight. It features a 5-axis simultaneous control with multiface indexing capability, enabling complex, multi-sided machining with outstanding surface finishes and reduced handwork. The machine supports a maximum of 60 tools in its automatic tool changer, optimizing versatility and productivity.
Its working envelope includes travels of 78.7 inches (X), 63 inches (Y), and 51.2 inches (Z), with rapid traverse rates of 630 inches per minute across all three linear axes, ensuring efficient material removal and quick cycle times. The spindle is horizontal, designed for heavy-duty machining, and operates at a maximum speed of 6,000 rpm, suitable for large and intricate parts. This machining center does not feature a U axis, focusing on X, Y, Z, and two rotational axes for versatile 5-axis machining.
This model excels in applications requiring the highest degree of 3D accuracy, blending, and surface finish quality typical of die, mold, medical, and intricate geometry components. Its robust construction supports long hours of continuous operation with exceptional precision. The advanced integration of Makino’s control systems ensures smooth, responsive motion and superior accuracy throughout diverse machining tasks, making it ideal for large-scale, complex mold manufacturing environments.
