MAKINO MCD2516‚ÄË5XB HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino MCD2516-5XB is a 5-axis horizontal machining center designed for heavy-duty, high-precision machining of large workpieces up to 2.7 meters in diameter and weighing up to 2 tons. It features a horizontal spindle orientation with a 6,000 rpm spindle speed, delivering robust cutting performance suitable for die and mold manufacturing. The machine is equipped with a 60-tool automatic tool changer to support complex machining operations requiring frequent tool changes. Its 5 axes provide simultaneous control and multiface indexing for enhanced machining flexibility and precision. The MCD2516-5XB offers extensive travel ranges: X-axis 98.4 inches, Y-axis 63.0 inches, and Z-axis 51.2 inches, with rapid traverse speeds up to 630 inches per minute in all axes, enabling efficient handling and processing of large components. The machine’s table/work support measures 70.8 by 39.4 inches, providing stable and versatile workholding for large parts. This setup enables continuous, long-hour machining with high accuracy, suitable for complex geometries and large-scale manufacturing environments. Its robust build and advanced kinematics provide rigidity and thermal stability, essential for precision mold and die production. The machine supports simultaneous 5-axis machining, improving part accessibility and reducing setup times. The horizontal spindle and heavy workpiece capacity make the MCD2516-5XB ideal for aerospace, automotive, and mold industries requiring complex, large-part milling with high repeatability and throughput.
