MAKINO N2 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino N2 Horizontal Machining Center is a compact, high-precision 4-axis CNC machine engineered for demanding small-part production. Featuring a robust horizontal spindle with an HSK-A40 taper and a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM, the N2 delivers exceptional rigidity and accuracy for complex machining tasks. The spindle is rated at 10 HP (30-minute rating), supporting high-speed cutting and finishing operations. The machine is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) offering standard capacity for 14 tools, expandable to 21, and achieves rapid tool changes with a tool-to-tool time of 2.0 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 3.0 seconds. The worktable measures 11.810" x 11.810", supporting workpieces up to 330 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of part sizes and materials. Axis travels are 11.810" in X and Y, and 9.060" in Z, with a full 360° B-axis rotation for versatile 4-axis machining. Maximum feed rates reach 1,260 ipm, while rapid traverse speeds are 1,653 ipm on all linear axes, ensuring fast cycle times and high productivity. The N2 is designed for integration into automated environments, with optional pallet changer support, and is ideal for industries requiring high accuracy and repeatability, such as medical, aerospace, and precision mold manufacturing.
