MAKINO MCD2516-5XB HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino MCD2516-5XB is a high-performance 5-axis horizontal machining center engineered for die mold and large workpiece fabrication. This machine delivers exceptional capability with an expansive work envelope, featuring 98.4 inches of X-axis travel, 63 inches of Y-axis travel, and 51 inches of Z-axis travel, enabling machining of components up to 2.7 meters in diameter and weighing up to 2 tons. The machine is equipped with a robust 6,000 RPM spindle standard configuration, though alternative spindle speeds of 4K, 8K, 15K, and 18K RPM are available as options to accommodate diverse material requirements. The CNC control system enables simultaneous 5-axis operation with multiface indexing capabilities, allowing operators to machine complex geometries with precision and efficiency during continuous production runs. The 30-tool automatic tool changer reduces setup time and enhances productivity by enabling rapid tool changes without manual intervention. The generous pallet dimensions of 70.8 inches by 39.4 inches accommodate large workpieces while maintaining the machine's structural rigidity. With its combination of advanced 5-axis simultaneous control, high spindle power, expansive working volume, and automated tool management, the MCD2516-5XB is specifically designed to deliver highly accurate, continuous machining for demanding die mold applications and precision aerospace components.
