MAKINO V22-5XB VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Makino V22-5XB Vertical Machining Center is a high-precision, 5-axis CNC machine engineered for die/mold applications requiring intricate 3-D contouring and complex multi-sided part machining. It features a compact tilt-trunnion table with combined B- and C-axes, enabling full 5-axis simultaneous milling for superior accuracy, repeatability, and rigidity. The table size is 3.5" x 3.5", supporting workpieces up to 16 lbs, making it ideal for small, high-detail components. The vertical spindle utilizes an HSK-E32 taper, delivering a top speed of 40,000 RPM and 12 HP (30-minute rating), ensuring high-speed, high-accuracy machining with minimal vibration and thermal distortion. Axis travels are X: 12.6", Y: 11.0", Z: 11.8", with a B-axis rotation of 120°, providing extensive access to undercuts and complex geometries. The machine is equipped with a 30-tool automatic tool changer (expandable to 60 tools), achieving tool changes in just 8 seconds for efficient production. Maximum feed and rapid traverse rates are 787 ipm across all linear axes, maximizing productivity. Designed for die/mold shops, the V22-5XB reduces part handling and setup time, facilitates shorter tool lengths for improved tool life and surface finish, and supports traditional "2+3" axis machining for multi-plane surface blending. The absence of a pallet changer and U-axis keeps the configuration focused on high-precision, small-part 5-axis work.
