MAKINO MCD3018 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino MCD3018 Horizontal Machining Center is a robust, high-performance CNC machine designed for heavy-duty horizontal machining applications. It features a large table measuring 118.1" x 63.0" capable of supporting workpieces up to 33,000 lbs, ideal for sizable and heavy components. The machine is equipped with a powerful #50 taper horizontal spindle offering a standard top speed of 4,000 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 15,000 RPM to accommodate high-precision and high-speed cutting operations. The spindle delivers 30 HP with an optional 67 HP available for demanding cutting tasks. The MCD3018 integrates a 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) as standard, with options for expansion up to 200 tools, facilitating reduced downtime and flexible tooling capabilities. A pallet changer for two pallets is standard, with larger pallet configurations optional to increase throughput. The machine operates on 4 axes, including a B-axis with full 360-degree rotation, providing enhanced machining versatility. Axis travels are extensive, with X-axis at 118.1", Y-axis at 70.9", and Z-axis at 51.2", each having a maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed of 630 inches per minute, contributing to efficient material removal and rapid repositioning. The machine’s rigidity and precision, combined with the high horsepower spindle, large work envelope, and flexible tooling capacity, make the Makino MCD3018 a capable solution for heavy machining of large dies, molds, and complex parts in demanding industrial environments.
