2008 MAKINO S33L VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Makino S33L is a 3-axis vertical machining center representing the long-table variant of Makino's S33 high-speed die and mold platform. The 'L' designation indicates an extended table configuration providing a wider and deeper work surface compared to the standard S33, accommodating larger mold bases and multi-cavity setups. The S33L provides 25.6-inch X-axis travel, 17.7-inch Y-axis travel, and 17.7-inch Z-axis travel, with an extended table of approximately 32 by 18 inches. The CAT-40 spindle operates at up to 12,000 RPM with approximately 24 HP, delivering high-speed performance for precision die/mold machining in hardened tool steels and graphite electrodes. The Makino Professional 3 CNC provides smooth geometry interpolation and comprehensive tool management for superior surface finish quality. A 21-tool automatic tool changer enables multi-operation programs. The S33L's high-speed linear motion system and thermally stable cast iron construction maintain accuracy throughout sustained high-speed machining cycles. The extended table makes the S33L particularly suited to shops working with wider mold bases or requiring multi-part fixturing arrangements that exceed the capacity of the standard S33 table. The S33L represents a capable, production-proven Makino mold machining platform with the flexibility of an expanded work envelope within the S33's established architecture.
