MAKINO V22-5XB GRAPHITE VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The MAKINO V22-5XB Graphite Vertical Machining Center is a high-precision, 5-axis CNC machine engineered for demanding graphite and die/mold applications. With axis travels of X: 12.6 inches, Y: 11 inches, and Z: 11.8 inches, the V22-5XB delivers exceptional accuracy and rigidity for small, intricate workpieces. Its high-speed spindle reaches up to 40,000 RPM, ensuring efficient, low-vibration cutting for superior surface finishes and tight tolerances. The machine features a 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) for rapid tool exchange, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. Designed with a fully enclosed splash guard, the V22-5XB effectively contains graphite dust, maintaining a clean shop environment and supporting both graphite and dry machining of steel and castings. The CNC control system provides a stable, secure platform with an intuitive graphical user interface, advanced data management, and proprietary Super Geometric Intelligence (SGI.5) servo control for reduced cycle times and enhanced machining efficiency. The machine’s compact footprint and robust construction, including integrally casted slideways and no overhangs, ensure outstanding stability and vibration absorption. The V22-5XB is equipped with a high-precision HSK-E32 spindle taper, rapid traverse rates of 787 inches per minute, and a maximum payload of 220 lbs, making it ideal for high-accuracy, high-speed graphite electrode production and complex 3D contouring.
